Discontinued Models in Production gun list

[Stafford]

If a current model on the Production list is discontinued by the manufacturer, is it grandfathered for continued use in USPSA?

Well, since there is still a Hudson on the list and that companie is no longer in business, once a gun's on the list there's no actual reason to take it off so USPSA doesn't

I don’t recall a gun ever being removed from the list… if you look, I’d say never removed unless it was determined not to fit production.

which I can’t remember ever happening..

 

 

case in point— Smith and Wesson 4506

Shooters that have such a gun should be able to continue shooting it.

I look forward to completing a match in production with my colt all american 2000. There can’t be that many of us.

I'll go you one better (worse?)

 

S&W 1006.  I've had it since about 1994.  Shot it in ONE match then.  (All there was was Open and Limited ... but hey, it made Major!  Don't use it anymore.  Wanna buy one?
