Kidding aside, can you provide links to both USPSA and IDPA membership numbers, as I searched and couldn't find that info. IDPA is surprisingly large to me. Bear in mind that IDPA is using worldwide numbers and USPSA is just the US branch of IPSC. Worldwide vs. worldwide would be a much larger gap.

matteekay Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 **UPDATE** Hot off the press from my AC: "I need to revise my answer. If it fits in the box and makes weight it is good to go. After market is good to use but must not by field removable. Threaded on comp is good. Drilled ports are good." I'm wondering if the AC's/HQ got together and made some decisions. I guess we'll see if we hear from more AC's soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwbethue Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 This is interesting and I think a better interpretation of what's actually written in the rules. With the RMR coming up I'll probably plan on shooting my traditional non-comped/non-ported G 19, but will bring my comped G 19 too and ask the match staff how they've been instructed to rule it. Assuming this interpretation holds up for the next several months I'll probably look at getting my CCP gun ported. 105 PF ported sounds not at all practical but reallllllly fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What states does your AC cover? Mine I think does almost the entire north east. DE, DC, MD, VA, CT, ME, MA, NH, NY, and VT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I could take a non-compensated gun and throw an aftermarket barrel and comp on it? Like a P229 Legion with AC heavy steel compensator? That seems so bizarre.

The rules are quite different and there are only a few matches shot under IPSC rules in the United States. When I started, USPSA issued a version of IPSC rules with some US only rules in italics. Now it is completely separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone encountered an area where their AD said “no dice” recently? Or is this becoming a standard thing that any compensator + loctite or set screws is “integrated.” Thanks!

matteekay Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 The Rocky Mountain Regional was a few weeks ago. Zero issues with all the compensators there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocMedic Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I ran this at RMR and had zero issues at the Chrono/gear check in. Although the at home scale said with mag this was at 44.6 ounces and the scale at RMR tipped in at 44.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

want2race Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Nice to hear that Rocky was comp friendly (as the rule is written). Working this up for that match this year. Now to convince my AC of the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beastmode_05 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 basically its now way more lenient than USPSA then comps and ports is only in open division correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Watson Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 There are a lot of detail differences, a full bull IDPA CO is less tricked out than a USPSA Open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
