Laxman2809 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Was shooting a match tonight and it was brought up they I could be bumped to open for shooting Carry Optics with SP01 and the CZ Custom Slide Racker Plate that has a racker tab. https://czcustom.com/slide-racker-multi-75-st-blued-14099.html I can see how it can be an advantage, but also you do have the RDS to rack the slide off of so..... idk? What would your interpretation of the rule be?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sdlrodeo Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Seems pretty cut and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teros135 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Yeah. It's not an interpretation, it's the rule. My CO gun doesn't have the slide racker ears on the plate, for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this option the best, considering I don't see it as an advantage in anyway since you can just rack off the RDS. But who am I, but a peasant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrackCage Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Email Troy. It's 50/50. Short term memory around here? Did we not just go through this with slide release turned gas pedals (and deemed legal...)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konkapot Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Not AT ALL busting anybody's chops or trying to be s#!tty here, but before you buy something for an organized sport it seems that Step 1 would be to read the rules. I want to get into boxing, so I bought these brass knuckles. WHAT??? I can't use them? What a stupid rule! If you just want to go punching people for shits/giggles, then brass knuckles seem like the way to go. If you want to participate in a structured, scored, regulated activity, though...... Not a poke at the OP, just a general observation of people new to this sport. Edited January 12, 2020 by konkapot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a poke at the OP, just a general observation of people new to this sport. the problem is many manufacturers sell things saying USPSA Approved, or legal etc., yet they may or may not be. A friend of mine bought base pads, thought they were legal for Limited, got checked at a match, didn't fit the gauge, he was bumped to open. The competitor is responsible for their equipment unless buying match ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrydoc Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Fairly cut and dried in rule book "expressly prohibited" so not much point trying to challenge His ruling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7VY Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 My issue is the product is being sold as a slide racker mount so how could it not be a slide racker ? How or why would the rule book be challenged because of the product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxman2809 Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 Well its a mount first slide racker second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
