  1. This is about as useful as saying "hey let's put 40 S&W light with a perceived (and mostly proven) scoring advantage in with 125 pf minor and let's see which one wins. It is real simple to add a division in the computer and copy paste the rules under the new name if we wanted the true answer.
  2. Been politely saying something similar for years.
  3. I prefer 140mm for all so I can use the same 3 magazine extensions.
  4. I'd like to meet a person that got suckered into paying their own money for a 10k custom 2011. Not any demand for that around here. Seems most just want magwells and 140mm magazines.
  5. I think your interpretation is much more accurate/honest. I haven't been to Idaho but in my area, triggers/fire control, springs, grips/texturing, sights, are minimum and slides/barrels are very common. Virtually nobody with a classification in the divisions are shooting "mildly tweaked" or out of box guns.
  6. What is the benefit of having all of those rules and requiring all of that policing? To maintain the illusion that shooting a stock Glock vs a Stock M&P has some value?
  7. I agree, you can get 140mm extensions for the most popular CO/Limited minor guns that aren't 2011s for $30 ish. Two extensions are cheaper than 3 more magazine and additional pouches....but if we were being honest...the cost of these things don't even matter. Nobody is asking for 15 rd production or 140 production. They want limited minor. Anything less than a separate limited minor division is just delaying the inevitable...all while frustrating people in the mean time.
  8. Whatever you say Dr. I am aware of all of your bona fides and I am no more impressed...actually less so. But I will still consider your point, if you make a good one.
  9. So? Just take your own advice and stop responding to me...it will be ok. I am quite content discussing the sport with other people. There is always somebody that shoots better and I am anti participation trophy.
  10. It isn't a secret, if you ask the board if they discuss limited minor and other such changes on a regular basis they will tell you yes. Discussing USPSA while I am getting paid to sit here and monitor stuff is definitely an enjoyable way to pass the time. As for the rest of it, lay off...you are acting like a stalker.
  11. I can't speak for every match in the country but in the southeast, the majority of people shooting carry optics are much younger than elderly. The southeast is a desirable place to live and lots of places to work so that may be part of the difference in demographics. Aren't you elderly? I might have my videos confused.
  12. I do have emails. He will email you too. Saying I have emails and posting my honest opinion is not trolling. However, calling me a troll is "antagonistic" which is closer to trolling.
  13. It is growth in carry optics. Yes, other shooters are moving there, because they aren't interested in dealing with cost and hassle of 2011s or production is not "limited minor enough. Most probably aren't going back. I agree that constant change can drive people away. Which is why I say it is better to add what people are demanding if it makes sense instead of constantly tinkering with existing divisions. Nothing makes more sense as a stand alone division at this point in time and the forseeable future than limited minor.
  14. It really does, that is why the growth is happening in carry optics. The rules are constantly changing anyway...that is what happens when fudds dig their heels in and try to resist what is going to happen eventually anyway. If it doesn't happen in USPSA it will happen somewhere else.
  15. When USPSA has the participation and sponsorship levels on par with the NHRA then I might waste some time debating that.
  16. Nope. You can see from my first post provided by our impartial moderator that I have advocated limited major as well as limited minor all along. Limited major should be available as long as people want to sign up for it. The people buying guns outside of USPSA are mostly abandoning .40 and that does affect USPSA. 300 LEOs keeping their old .40s doesn't counter that. I have been saying there is a good case to make limited minor viable/separate/competitive to maintain participation while 40 limited attritions down like single stack and revolver.
  17. Yuup, there is a breech face most of the time.
  18. Why would anybody switch if they don't want it? If there is still a .40/165 pf division then the gun is not obsolete. You can load a .40 to minor PF and the gun is still not obsolete. You can fit a 9mm barrel and the gun is still not obsolete.
  19. Ha, now these are good posts. I promise if I was Bill Wilson I would be out on my land killing pigs.
  20. More than Olympic bicycles and the library police.
  21. If these things weren't "put" in the rules then how did they get there?
  22. Sure it does. If your analogy was correct we would be seeing growth in open as opposed to carry optics.
  23. You are playing words games...saying they are allowed in the divsion is the same as saying they were put there. If splitting them defacto kills the major division then that proves my point...people want limited minor. I don't need to restructure my argument at all. Some people are concerned that the people with .40 guns will have obsolete equipment if they change the division to minor. That is supposedly the only reason it hasn't been done already. I don't see any reason to obsolete anybody's gun and it makes more sense to have both until people no longer want .40 limited.
  24. Are you serious? If they didn't intend for them to be competitive they would have never put them in the same competitive divisions and/or came up with a scoring systems that attempts to make them comparable. The results consistently show that major is rewarded too much. I have never been Beard or been on a site called doodie.
