Ipsc Production Gun Changes

[diehli]

I was considering purchasing an SP01 for Production Division.  I don't mean to offend anybody, but the Glock 17 has also a long dust cover, don't it?

The long polymer dust cover on the Glock does not even compare to a long HEAVY steel dust cover.

What about the long HEAVY steel dust cover on the Jericho and Baby Eagle, among others, which are still legal?

Selective enforcement is not the way to proceed.

Agreed... and it's not like it makes a damn bit of difference.

The 1st batch of SP-01s in the USA went on sale yesterday or the day before.

Retail price???: $495

So much for the "high dollar" argument - especially since the Production approved, accesory rail, all steel "Beretta 92 Steel I" retails for $1600. How much is that 18 shot Para LDA 9mm? ANd the mag capacity of the Para in IPSC Production? 18 rounds.

In addition, there is a post on the IPSC Village that the long approved IMI Baby desert eagle (aka Jericho 941/IMI Eagle) has been restored to the list,  EVEN THOUGH IT HAS A LONG HEAVY DUST COVER.

I personally do not believe there are any valid arguments against the SP-01's use in USPSA or IPSC. The ball is in the BOD's court; I hope they make a wise decision. Regards,

On the $495 price Angus posted somewhere that price was a very special offering on the first shipment into the country. He said the retail price should hover around $550. Just a heads up - that's all.

And still, even with the later price increase, that's a heck of a lot of gun for $550.

$550 Retail is still below the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of the Glock -34 (one of the most popular choices for USPSA Production Division).

I think that we can put to rest the "high dollar race gun" argument against the SP-01.

If anyone thinks that the Tanfoglio Stock custom ought to be banned because they believe it is a "high dollar race gun" @ under $1000 retail, then please explain why the all steel framed Beretta 92 Steel I (MSRP $1600) should remain on the list.

Again, for the record, I am in favor of keeping all the Berettas, all Glocks, the CZ, and Tanfoglio SC, ON the list (as long as we follow IPSC's list system). Regards,
