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?

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.
