Mike21STI Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I was reading in the rule booked regarding dust covers... Isn't a full length dust cover illegal for CDP and ESP? Doesn't the Glocks 17 have a full length dust cover? If that's the case, why should it be illegal for a 1911 to have a full length dust cover if it still makes weight? Just curious if anyone knows the origin of this rule and if there is an intent to change it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 i think the full-length dustcover only applies to steel guns. It looks to me like that rule was an attempt to ban a particular gun (sp01 maybe?) that rubbed the rulemakers the wrong way, so they wrote a rule to try to do that, then had to write a particular interpretation to provide a creative definition of what a 'modification' is to make the rule seem less like nonsense. I wouldn't try to make sense out of it. Just use it as an excuse to buy a new gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OperationHitFactor Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Full length dust covers are considered a recoil reducer on a steel gun. Which in all reality they are, so don't look for the rule to change. It would pretty much go against what the IDPA was founded on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
