P220 Elite Stainless for Production Div?

[pilot_dc]

Looking at the production division list I see every possible combination of the things that make this variant (Stainless, Elite Dark, etc), but not this variant isn't specifically listed, which if I understand correctly, means it isn't legal for PD.

I wouldn't worry about. As long as it has a less than 5 in barrel and a more than 5 lbs trigger first shot I would think of it as a p220 variant of an approved p226 model with a less than 5 in bbl (which is the key). What RO would look at it and recognize that the Elite is on the list but not a stainless elite?

That was my "reasonable man" thought on it, but I'm sure that, like every sport, there are some "field lawyers" around who might make a issue of it. Hopefully not, as I don't think that using it would violate the spirit of the rules for production div.
