IPSC production rule changes.

[Wolverine Guy]

So it looks like there are some changes coming to IPSC production division.
Please discuss and give your 2c

15. The minimum trigger pull must either be 2.27kg (5lbs.) for the first shot fired and no restriction for subsequent shots fired, or 1.36kg (3lbs.) for every shot fired. Subsequent conditions to be renumbered.
16 7.1 Modifications to them, other than minor detailing (the removal of burrs and/or adjustments unavoidably required in order to fit replacement OFM parts or components), are prohibited. Other prohibited modifications include those which facilitate faster reloading (e.g. racking or cocking handles, flared, enlarged and/or add-on magwells, etc.), and/or adding stippling Changing the original color and/or finish of a handgun, and/or adding stripes or other embellishments is permitted.
18.4 Aftermarket springs and trigger assemblies are permitted

I like the addition of the 3lb for every trigger pull. It levels the playing field a bit for the striker fired crowd.

Production to me seems self-explanatory - just about as close to out of the box as possible. I'd agree no magwells or extra hand holds. Colours? (shoulder shrugs) So what? A layer of paint doesn't make it go faster or hold tighter.

What about the new pistols shipping with flared magwells?

If it’s not on the production list it’s a no go

The P320 comes to mind. The magwell must be removed to compete in Production.

I believe there is meant to be a period after the stippling clause and that changing colour is fine.

When are these new tiles going to be approved and when will they take effect?

 

[rkm456]

I wonder if that means the 34 will qualify for production now.

 

[sugeknowles]

Changing colour is now okay. This was always a dumb rule to me. Rules should be about creating fairness, and not extra crap for the sake of administrative crap.

 

[Sudbury shooter]

It’s over the permitted barrel length

When are these new tiles going to be approved and when will they take effect?

I believe once they are approved they need to be accepted by IPSC Canada and the board before it can take effect.

The trigger weight difference will be nice. My ppqm2 is appx 4lbs so wasn't gonna use it for production

 

[HONEY]

Ipsc production

What is the best advise for recent new model , if I want constant 3 lb trigger to take advantage of new rules .

 

[Redmaple]

Will the Glock 17 G5 with its flared magwell qualify?

 

[M16LR.50]

So with 18.4 I'll be able to use an aftermarket spring to take my double action pull from 11lbs down to anything above 5lbs?

Awesome!

 

[Sudbury shooter]

Will the Glock 17 G5 with its flared magwell qualify?

It is already on the production list, so yes

Wasn't there something about slide milling being allowed now for optics?

I think there is a separate "production optics" division.
