no way....

Next time the board can make a change to an existing division is January 31st 2024. They are just letting it ride until then Most likely.

Looked exactly the same. I’d like to see something directly from USPSA though.

looks like LO is live on 5/1. No details on the exact division rules. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpPaYQZA0cM/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

it’ll show up eventually. Could he do better on customer service, no doubt. But it’s one guy, would you rather have him making product or answering emails all day? theres lots of people out there that offer a great product or service, but can’t manage their business for s#!t.. Am I making excuses for the guy? Maybe. But it’s the reality of the situation.

Like I said, that's interesting. I tried probably 10 difference combinations of spring, tube and base pad. none of them would run 10 out of 10 times. Some would run most of the time but not always. Some of them were so tight, I was barely able to get 24 round in. I wasn't able to get one to run 100% until I removed some material from the base pad. If you were able to just plug and play 8 magazines, with zero issues, that makes me wonder what the difference is.

No errors or failure to feed when starting at 24+1? That’s interesting.

pretty much everyone I’ve heard of that’s gotten them to run 100% had to grind the base pad. I don’t think it’s that big of a deal to do. But it’s definitely not plug and play.

I’ve tried both rune and mbx. Sometime they work, sometimes they dont. I think there is enough variance in the tube bodies, basepads and range brass for them not to reliably work. that said, I was able to get some to work reliably by grinding some additional room inside the base pad with a demel… it’s a very fine line, and I ruined the first couple basepads by removing too much.

He didn’t bother with the poll, and hasn’t shot the sport in years. I didn’t bother with his wall of text after that came out.

You took the time to sign up to the forum and write out a book about your opinion. But you couldn’t be bothered to spend 5 mins taking a survey?

Make no mistake, I’m not a fan of the board and how they do things. But, it’s going to be 6-8 years best case scenario before there is any meaningful change. At some point you have to work with what you got…..

It’s abundantly clear that whoever made the polls had zero experience and also rushed them out. The grammar mistakes alone were comical.

So you comparing a poll with 100 participants to one with 25x the number? There was an uproar over the last set of equipment changes, and one thing said from pretty much every talking head is that there should be polls for changes like this. So somebody listened and now that it’s not going the way some would like, there is an uproar over the poll… I agree 2500 isn’t a large number. But you know what, everyone had an opportunity to vote, and the people that did are absolutely relevant. Those that didn’t, chose not to, and thus gave up their voice on the matter. The 2500 number actually shows how much fluff and casual members are in total membership numbers.

Using limited in the name is a mistake, the same way they used carry in carry optics. There are no carry guns in co, but since the name contains carry, people get hung up on it. “Carry optics” is quite frankly a stupid name for a division that has never revolved around anything carry…. same problem with using limited in the name of LO, when the initial division appendix did not exactly align with the limited appendix. People will get hung up on the differences..

So, you can spin the results to align with your viewpoint. But when it’s correctly pointed out the the poll in fact shows the opposite, you fall on back excuses why the poll should be ignored. you should go into politics.

If 58% want minor only. Maybe they shouldn’t be ignored either?

38 is in an already existing division. Edit actually, I take that back. The point of open is you can pretty much use whatever you want. That’s not the same as LO

Your suggestions should at least make sense from a competitive viewpoint. A “I don’t care” that my suggestion doesn’t make sense adds nothing other than make you sound like a fudd..

That’s not really how it works…..

What the difference there? 24 vs 29 rounds? I don’t see that even coming close to offsetting the 5% advantage of major over minor.

40 is a dead caliber. USPSA should look to the future, not dwell on the past.

Because a custom gun is 5-6k+ and an off the shelf version would be half that?

Ya. I looked around and there are plenty that don’t come dot ready. I suppose a dovetail mount would be fine for trying it out. still though, going forward. I think 40 is on its way out.

Ok so rephrase that to 2011 in 40.
