  1. I doubt it and the and the proper phrase is "death knell" as opposed to the final "nail in the coffin".
  2. evidently, if you type EYE BEE TEE EL, this is what gets auto generated
  3. I just earned a 7-day suspension!. It is a clown show
  4. you have either never shot open, are uninformed, or both
  5. But a "sport" that changes it ruleset capriciously will eventually cease to be a sport. It will become a repositiory for a bunch of new gun owners with shiny new toys to play outside and collect participation swag.. IDGAF if this becomes a division or not but with all the pontification about plastic=2011, magwells don't matter if you practice and DA/SA =SAO, just make a minor PF, slide mounted optic, uncompensated division and lump everything in this together. It would save a lot of Internet bandwith
  6. If this is the barrier to entry for you, I would strongly consider another hobby. Do the math on a week of practice for many "competitors", people with no chance of winning a major match but who aspire to improve for their own reasons (like me). reloading/ammo costs for 500+ rounds/week local match fees. gas to drive the 80 mile round trip to the range 2x per week Then add in Majors, hotel, airfare, food, etc.. And a backup gun(s). And a backup optic or three And you are worried about basepads which will likely not need replacing for years? Time to take a hard look at your finances and decide if USPSA makes sense for you
  7. this has been a fun thread to read. Here is another suggestion for the name of the division P. rovisional U. ncompensated S. ingle Action S. lide mounted
  8. Options abound: Lose 3 rounds Fit a 9mm barrel to your slide Get a 9mm top end Buy a 9mm LO gun +/- sell the .40 gun with irons Whine on the internet that you aren't competitive in a provisional division
  9. It is too bad that there is a rule against shooting .40 minor
  10. Don't F@%# with Open, or get rid of Major. Open is just fine the way it is. Let the peasants debate the other nonsense.
  11. and even if they weren't, raise the price 25$ x 300 shooters and you have a 7500$ pasting fund. You can keep the cotton T-shirt and mediocre BBQ.
  12. ask for their financials. I'll leave it at that
  13. I know a lot of shooters who would never consider shooting a major match again without staff reset. If anyone still believes that big matches like area matches are not making money already, you have not been paying attention.
  14. sounds awful. Don't they do this in Canada I have shot NC as well as GA state and A6 with this format. It is so much more enjoyable as a competitor and much more efficient.
  15. Despite being a parts company, they surprisingly will not sell you a spare beavertail. One of my guns with a PT grip has a non-PT beaver tail.It may be an STI. It works fine but I would have preferred a perfect fit.
  16. probably no more qualified than the typical B/C geriatric shooters opining on the usual topics. You have been here long enough. You know how the Internet works
  17. I will count you as a non-participant after reading the neverending echo chamber of single action optics threads, this is comparative comedy gold
  18. I suspected that this would be an issue with you. After consulting with Steaksauce and Hotdog, we will allow such competitors to compete only if they achieve the "Trifecta of Unwantedness". This entails achieving an additional classification in Limited 10 (on top of revolver and PCC). If you live in a ban state or shoot at Cameo, it must be done with 170mm mags, downloaded to 10 rounds. A waiver will be found in the appendix of the rule set pending approval
  19. Yes, with a caveat... This change would necessitate dropping from major to minor scoring as well as a mandatory increase in power factor back to the original IPSC standard (you get double F*$#ked) A nomenclature analogy: Class:Division::Clip:Magazine
  20. I know nothing of those games.. I just think that that my ruleset works best in today's USPSA landscape. I would also consider banning the use of factory ammo and prohibiting anyone who is classified in PCC or revolver from participating.
  21. Jeeez, don't forget the weekly emails, LOL
  22. I would propose SAO, frame mounted optics, magwells allowed, compensators allowed and ported barrels optional I would explicitly ban DA/SA because having to invest in a dremel may discourage participation. Excessive amounts of polishing compound may lead to premature metal fatigue If flashlights and lasers will bring new shooters into the sport, I fully support them too. Same thing with AIWB It would also be mandatory, if you want to shoot this to division, to continuously post on this forum regarding the relative merits of the division as well as a weekly email to your section coordinator, area director and YML
  23. Division not class. And if you are referring to EG, he would be world champion with any platform. He gets paid well to shoot what he shoots.
