OPENB Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I tried to find a thread I thought I read recently that said our PSSD classification is no longer the highest class on file, but our L10 class, if you have one. Does this sound familiar to anyone? If not, can anyone advise what the PSSD class should be. I just checked mine, and am still classed A due to my Ltd. class being A, and not my L10 class of B. Going to the SSC in April, and would be happy to shoot in B if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOWEVER, if you only have an open classification, then it will be based on that. Hope this helps, Jeff Edited March 4, 2007 by Barrettone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Stevens Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) While Jeff has swerved into the correct answer (almost) he didn't get an A+. The correct answer is that it is your highest classification on record other than "Open" unless "Open" is your only classification on record. It doesn't have anything to do with what type sights you use. He forgets many of us "seasoned citizens" got their classificaiton in "Open" with iron sights. And no it wasn't with a flintlock Gary Edited March 4, 2007 by Gary Stevens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nik Habicht Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I'm sure that in Gary's case the qualification was earned with a 1911 in oh, what, about 1912 or 1913? Can you remember back that far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 OpenB, It seems like we all avoided answering your question directly. You are going to the SSC as an A shooter. You can review the latest rules here: http://www.uspsa.org/rules/1911_Single_Sta...2006_Update.pdf Now, you aren't using a DOH holster or the the dreaded Wilson 47BEN basepads, are you? Have a good match, Chuck PS: Good luck on the weather! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 Thanks for the help, everyone. How close is equipment going to be scrutinized this year does anyone know? Will the box and scale be used for size and weight? I'm not griping, just want to have a good time without POing any staff. I'm sure I'll make weight (this is sounding like a wrestling match), but not sure on box size. As for weather, Lord, I'm sick of shooting in the rain in Ill. It's either gorgeous, or Noah's second coming. Either way, two nights at the Patio is worth the risk. I got the pork chops last year, but my buddy let me try his prime rib, and it had to be the best I ever tasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhunter Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I shot the Florida Open last month, and NO one looked at my equipment. I would say that at the Single Stack Nats / Single Stack Classic things will be looked at more closely!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Stevens Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 The box was enlarged specifically to allow the "dreaded" 47BEN base pads. I guess I don't understand the comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary, Simple: This Gun with These Pads did not fit in the IDPA box (6" tall). For IDPA, I went to the smaller basepads. For the WSSSC I ground down the big ones to fit the box.

OPENB Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 Chuck, I'm in Ohio, but I've been to the SSC 5 times now and it has rained on me 3 of them, including last years bone chilling drizzle. The other 2 times were overcast, perfect for seeing the sights without glare. I got the dimensions and will try to make a box this week. Last years SSC was pretty laid back on equipment with the exception of checking make, model, and ser. # every stage. I saw Gary's shave job on his mag pads, and it does not look too hard with a belt sander. Even shaved, it would be better than the shorter base pads in my S&A mag well. Gary, By your last post, am I to understand that I don't have to shave the pads now, or that MOST guns will fit with the 47BEN pads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Stevens Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I think I have 6 shaved pads you are welcome to if I can find them. I may have thrown them away. It all depends on your particular gun I guess. Mine is a standard melted Bo-Mar and the 47BEN pads fit in the box just fine. I looked at Chuck's gun and it appears to be the same as mine for all practical purposes but his didn't fit. The combination of how your rear sight is fitted, how tall it is, and the base pad thickness is the formula for it fitting or not. I would think most common melted Bo-Mar or similar rear sight should make the total package fit. But as the saying goes, your mileage may vary.

ChuckS Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 The digital camera is acting up a bit but here are some pics. The first one is a close-up of the sight. I am not sure how much lower it could go. There is about 0.1" clearance between the bottom of the blade and the hammer when the hammer is directly below the blade. The second shot shows a mag with the ground down base pad. The third shows it seated. Sorry about that one. The camera got real weird in terms of exposure. Dead batteries, I guess. In any case, this setup fits the IPSC box with a little room to spare (so the IDPA/PSDD Box is a slam dunk) and there is still plenty of pad left below the S&A mag well. I also tried it with the SV magwell and that works fine also! Later, Chuck The Sight: Mag: More Mag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His comment when the rain really started coming down on the last day/stage was that the weather was a lot like SSC weather but it was a bit too WARM .
