DrLove Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 folks, I've been hearing about this for a while now that they will be adding sort of a scoped (red dot, etc.) division for IDPA is it just a rumor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiserb Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Saw it in the new rule book, will be classed as outlaw. The word outlaw does not appear in the new rule book. You may need to read it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RammerJammer Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Saw it in the new rule book, will be classed as outlaw. and only 3 shot revolvers will be allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racinready300ex Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 From the new rule book. 8.2.7.2. IDPA allows clubs to add a “Not for Competition” scoring division for Tier 1 matches only. This allows calibers smaller than 9mm, carry optics, and other pistols which do not fit into the 5 competition divisions to participate in local club matches.

jjw Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 folks, I've been hearing about this for a while now that they will be adding sort of a scoped (red dot, etc.) division for IDPA is it just a rumor? u obviously do not know who started idpa all were fed up with sspas and like disciplkines. all had been heavily involved and went elswhere. do ur home work and it will be obvious that its not goanna happen as long as the people who started it are invlived NEWBIES LIKE b. wilson ken hackathorn l.a.v. rob leatham i was at the inaugural in mo as a close friend of t.d.l. its not gonna happen i can believe. ask anyone what they think i dont think joyce wilson will do anything bill does not approve. and that ain't it. jjw p.s. if those names are not familar to u then u need to read a LOT of gun history l.o.l.

Craig N Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 If you want to shot red dot, why not USPSA? Because if you carry a RDS on a handgun for duty/defense it makes more sense to wanna shoot it in IDPA stages than in practical pistol stages.

Nimitz Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 And exactly what would be the purpose of a non scoring division in a competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Hamby Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 If you want to shot red dot, why not USPSA? Because any optic gun that fits in my inside-waist band, is not going to be very competitive in open. folks, I've been hearing about this for a while now that they will be adding sort of a scoped (red dot, etc.) division for IDPA is it just a rumor? u obviously do not know who started idpa all were fed up with sspas and like disciplkines. all had been heavily involved and went elswhere. do ur home work and it will be obvious that its not goanna happen as long as the people who started it are invlived NEWBIES LIKE b. wilson ken hackathorn l.a.v. rob leatham i was at the inaugural in mo as a close friend of t.d.l. its not gonna happen i can believe. ask anyone what they think i dont think joyce wilson will do anything bill does not approve. and that ain't it. jjw p.s. if those names are not familar to u then u need to read a LOT of gun history l.o.l. You have been away for a while. You should look at some more recent history. Yes Optic gun in IDPA ARE LEGAL to compete with starting October 1st. 2013. Local clubs can figure out what works for them. I imagine once the bugs are worked out we may see a more specific division if there is a demand. Not to many optic carry guns that "fit in the box" out there right now. Oh an .22lr legal October 1st. New Rule book posted here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v1911 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Sweet. Loving the rules for the new 'Non-Comp' class. Great for shits and giggles with an SD gun that may not otherwise fit in any of the other divisions. May be mistaken, but I think a 4" sight tracker with RDS would fit in the new class.

Rideandshoot Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I've been wondering about this and laser sights also. Bottom line is that dots and lasers small enough to be concealed seem completely within the stated purpose of IDPA. Especially for those with fading eyesight.

It we counted wood as a piece of paper, that's all you can win at any IDPA match by how well you shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeidaho Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I think laser sights would still be problematic since rule 5.3 would still be in effect for the Not-For-Competition division. 5.3. Any target engaged with the use of an active laser or weapon-mounted light will incur one (1) PE for each target using an active laser or weapon-mounted light.

Rideandshoot Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I have crimson trace lasers on all of my carry guns. It doesn't make them any less useful or practical and the lasers have never failed to function. When the targets are cardboard or steel plates I actually shoot better with sights but I'm convinced that in a complicated real defensive situation that requires intense target focus especially in dim light that I will be better if I have an aiming point that is projected to where I will naturally be focused.

jmorris Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 If your looking for a tiny red dot in sun light, from the back of the berm, all the way to the target, you might be better off looking at the bullet holes. The only thing I use lasers for is shooting varmints around the house after dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Halley Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 So would the modified gun be legal with the compensation? You definitely wouldn't be answering any questions after a defensive incident with that one. Unless if course you were fluent in sign language.... Docter model looks more practical and less goofy.

Alaskapopo Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 If you want to shot red dot, why not USPSA? Because there is a place for hi tech carry guns. Many guys are starting to run RMR and Delta points on their work and carry guns. If IDPA does not adapt with the times its destined to be a 1990's SASS.
