  1. I learned a long time ago never to do a slide lock reload.. Or on the rare occasion it happened on a stage, I was able to remember not to slam it in. Not always practical, especially if you shoot IDPA.
  2. If the BoD is against it, I don’t see how they could….
  3. Maybe if you’re looking at it from the perspective as a current shooter, then sure. but if you think about it long the lines of new shooters entering the sport, they are like 75% optics, if not higher. I’d wager that at least 50% of current CO shooters weren’t even around in 2016.
  4. Area 1 as well. But in both cases LO was added before yesterdays minutes.
  5. No nationals is understandable. Barring LO from area matches is not…
  6. allowing LO at all matches would give a truer indication about how it matches up against CO. Or maybe they don’t want that at all..
  7. uhh, that’s pretty much what I’ve been saying. removing the 10 round limit was not the main factor in the steep growth of CO… In the beginning the only real option for a factory ready dot gun was Glock and a bit later sig. Everything else had to be custom made. Now pretty much every pistol is dot ready. add to that the reliability of red dots was really bad. now it’s much much better. CO would still be the most popular division even if the 10 round limit had stayed in place. Maybe not 45%, but still on top.
  8. Yes, I m well aware of what you are trying to say. I’m saying you’re wrong and don’t really understand the dynamics behind the rise of the CO gun in USPSA. there’s no sense in going back and forth over it. It’s obvious no minds will be changed.
  9. If that’s the case I can’t think of any reason for it not to be allowed in all matches.
  10. It’s interesting that the minutes say optional for level 2 in 2023. Optional for level 3 in 2024. Nationals maybe in 2025. I read that as won’t be offered at level 3 area matches in 2023. or maybe it means optional for level 2 & 3 for 2023, and mandatory level 2, optional for level 3 in 2024??? Poorly written.
  11. That rules set is not official, it’s likely changed a little bit. No one will know for sure until the last board minutes are released and an official announcement is given.
  12. CO would still be very popular even if it was a lower capacity. Those who think otherwise are not paying attention to what’s going on outside USPSA. Iron sights are on their way out. Pretend I’m wrong if you want to.
  13. This all coincides with the rising popularity of dots in general. And the availability of dot ready guns.
  14. Was he cruising along on his Segway? I saw one there a few years ago in full body armor, M4, pistol, taser and enough ammo for an entire squad. The dude was probably carrying 100lb of s#!t and needed the Segway just to get around.
  15. That statement is ridiculous and completely blind to what’s actually going on. Call them a fad, crutch, or way of the future, but the simple fact is, dots are extremely popular. The vast majority of new shooters show up with some kind of dot. The popularity of dots in USPSA is simply mirroring the hobby in general.
  16. That’s far from the only reason CO took off..
  17. The only primers I could get to work reliably in the primer pro were CCI. that said, I could get other brands to work ok, if everything was clean and given a shot of pledge. since it’s the same brand, you might try loosening the primer disc slightly. And in extreme cases you could try Sauls advice of lubing the primers with silicon…
  18. Coated bullets are usually the issue.
  19. There is no way to know for sure. opinions here are highly biased depending on the posters opinion on LO.
  20. Dude, you are the one taking offense..
  21. There’s not a single thing from the 70s or 80s that I’d want to relive.
  22. Live in the past if you want..
  23. 1982… no internet 10 channels of cable (if you were lucky) landline , no cell phones gas was under a buck. nostalgia is great, but times have changed, drastically.
