cellguy030 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I want to duracoat the lower body of my XDM another color and leave the slide black.... would this somehow violate the production guidelines and put me into open class? 21.2a in the rules talks about slide refinishing but i see no mention of refinishing any other parts of the weapon.

Jonathan Taliani Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Reread 21.2a: "Per existing NROI ruling, cosmetically enhancing the finish of a slide is already ALLOWED in Production Division, provided that the finish provides no competitive advantage. This clause is NOW interpreted to specifically ALLOW refinishing the frame, as well as the slide, subject to the existing constraints on refinishing (cosmetic only, no competitive advantage). Special Notes/Clarifications: • Any finish which provides a noncosmetic function will be deemed PROHIBITED. For example, a gun finish which provides a roughened texture in an area where grip tape is not allowed (Appendix E4) is a PROHIBITED modification."

Jonathan Taliani Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 You may want to see if you are using an older version of the rule book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
