Kraj Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Im new to production, im getting a belt together to shoot some matches this year. I bought a grip plug for my 35 and it doesnt sit quite flush. At the highest point it extends .065 inches away from the frame. In the 2014 version of the rule book it says in the production Appendix it says: 22.3 External plugs - Remains in effect – external plugs which alter the grip profile or extend past the bottom of the grip are PROHIBITED. Seattle Slug) But then doing some searchs around here I found this NROI ruling from 2009. Special Notes/Clarifications: n Per existing NROI ruling, a plastic plug which fits flush (+/- 0.1”) with heel of the grip IS allowed. n For purposes of this interpretation, a plug weighing more than 0.5 ounce is considered “adding significant weight”. https://www.uspsa.org/bodminutes/20090307_production_2of3.html So am i in the clear or do I need to grab some sand paper?

EkuJustice Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Your GTG. That is considered flush and 2 no one is measuring the plug to verify how far it extends. The ones that really hang way down and the brass ones are what will get you bumped Edited March 22, 2015 by EkuJustice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parallax3D Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) GTG!The rule was meant to prohibit plugs like this, that obviously extend beyond the grip and give an advantage when reloading. Edited March 23, 2015 by Parallax3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Would I be correct in thinking that the "flush" plug is approved because, say I have limited division gun with a mag well, I could remove the mag well, leave the attaching plug in the gun and be okay? Assuming the Limited Division gun has no other external modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerburgess Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I would say you are probably fine due to how the rules are enforced. unfortunately the way the current rule book is written you would need to find a line in the current appendix or a published ruling that specifically allows it and that does not exist. I know that the intent of the rules is not to make that a illegal modification but that's how it is written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the Limited Division gun has no other external modifications. there is also a weight restriction on the plug so if it's not plastic it may be illegal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
