Single Stack

[mac266]

Do we know yet if Single Stack will be made a permanent division? I'm sorry for my ignorance, I let my USPSA membership lapse and haven't shot in a few years (until TODAY!!!). When I last shot, there was no such beast but I shot the division today. I'd like to make it my permanent division, but not if it's going away.

full fledged division as of Jan '08.

mac266,

You may already know this but any classifiers you shoot before 1 Jan 08 will count! They just won't be processed until next year.

Later,

Chuck

PS: Welcome Back!

Is there anywhere besides USPSA that I can find the rules for single stack division? Maybe it's spelled out somewhere on these forums but I can't locate them.

I seemed to be banned from the USPSA website in Canada

I'm planning to build a new 1911 and want to be sure what I do fits the rules...

Thanks!

Can't get onto www.uspsa.anything I get the common error:

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Would the 1911 society rules be the same?

Anyone...? Is there a later update to the SS rules than the 2006 update? If so where is it to be found? I want to make sure Trickpony get the latest.

Thanks!
