Where do you draw the line as to what is adequate or excessive slide machining to fit a sight?
Should ROs be trained gunsmiths or machinists to be able to determine this?
No machining or refinishing allowed = one less things to monitor in production division.
There are other divisions which allow modifications
I can't speak to other "more realistic" disciplines, but at least in IPSC the level of competition is high enough that top scores are separated by a hundredth of a second.
I'll take any advantage I can get, real or perceived.
The line is pretty straight forward. A dovetail looks like a dovetail, anything more and you've gone beyond what a production gun would/could have as far as attaching sights. As others have posted it would really make no difference anyway, you can't buy or bolt on your way to the top.
