It sounds as though the capacity and size limits were designed around 1911 design pistols. We already have a class designed for 1911s do we need another? Kind of like limiting every class to 6 because revolvers are limited to six generally. Most modern ccp pistols have a capacity of at least 10 rnds in a smaller package. Isn't a 4" barrel the lower limit for reliable functioning in a 1911? The main contradiction in the class is that a normal full size nominal 4" pistol fits in the box and the only difference is about .15" barrel length. 4" pistol class yes, compact-not really.
