I'd like to see 5" bull barrels allowed, since they allow tac-rails. Might as well. Keep CDP 45 acp only. If STI would change the name of the Recoil Master to something like dual spring recoil system it would be legal. My S/A Champion Loaded had a dual spring recoil system and it is legal. so I'm told.

Actually, this would not horrify as many as you may think. (At least in Western NC) In our area we put unclassified shooters in the Master Category for local matches. It gives them an added incentive to classify as soon as possible.

Oh, dear, that's the Other Guys, isn't it.
IDPA just says that if you are unclassified in one divsion, you can enter your highest classification from another, but only in club level matches.
My bad. But we OUGHT to do it that way.

Jim,
I don't recall seeing this in the rulebook. Where do you find reference to this policy?

Well, as long as we are kicking this one around again, my comments on your comments are...

1. Bull barrels ok. Rails ok. Long dustcovers ok, too. But you still have to make weight and if you keep adding iron to hold your "features" you will be out of luck.

2. Funny springs ok. As said standard in several factory guns.

3. No. Sixshooters are basic and allowing bigger cylinders would obsolete all of them, killing what is already the smallest...

I will add my .02.
First I'd like to see bull barrels allowed in 5'' 1911, since tactical rails are now allowed. I see it as the same difference, both add weight to the front of the pistol.
Second is the allowing of dual spring recoil systems. They are a production item used by several pistol makers. They are well over the 2000 units produced and sold.
Third I would change the rule on wheelguns with +6 capacity, 7-8 whatever. Loaded to max capacity as long as...

Steve,
You are good to go with a polished barrel. There is a provision for replacing the barrel with one of factory configuration, which I think should cover you.

Don't worry about it being fun, every trip to the range will renue that feeling. But here on the internet the tone is important, lest you think we don't like each other, and we like all shooters. It is a communication thing I guess. The classic writings in our history certainly convey a lot of thoughts and...

I'm glad I'm still a new guy (4 matches) and just want to have fun, and I am having a blast. Not meaning to hijack the thread in any way, but the "visible modifications" caught my eye. Please tell me that polishing the barrel on a gun is legal. I have a new M&P Pro that HAD a black barrel that I haven't even shot in a match yet (next Saturday, unless the temps are still sub zero), and I have the barrel shining like a diamond in a goat's a$$. I've done it to...

Ken,

I wrote my entry to this thread because it is about rule changes, and you expressed an opinion that seemed to be rejecting any consideration of any suggestion that seemed to be phrased with what YOU considered to be an "attitude." Worse, you suggested that IDPA HQ thinks the same way.

I used myself as an example because I chimed-in on an issue (an unofficial interpretation offered by you) several months ago that seemed particularly illogical and...

The current Rule Book was published in 2005. Does anyone forsee an updated version anytime soon, and if so, what changes are expected?
