I just want him to add SCP.

We really need Shotgun Caliber Pistol, so the hordes of Taurus Judge shooters can come beating down our doors.

All it would take is a thread on Enos and a reach around 

[Part Of Me]

when is the USPSA election again?

SCP-2 would also bring in the Bond Arms crowds! Now THAT would be a lo-cap division!

Just fucking throw the rule book in the fucking trash.  Call McManus whenever you want something and save the text/email.

 

What a fucking joke.  We've become IDPA.

[Just Some Random Hoser]

The rules should be like 1 page, written so someone in 8th grade and read and understand it and totally do away with all LOW CAP bull-shit-e-da....

[Just Some Random Hoser]

We’ve become what we despise....arguing about thee and the....total fucking joke.

so can someone provide me a short list of elite limited shooters who use a thumbrest? I personally can't think of any, but I'm not that much of an equipment nerd. My thought is that unless JJ and nils and a few other top dogs are using them, they probably are nothing more than a distraction from learning how to actually shoot. If I shot prod, I'd be encouraging them so as to distract more retards from learning how to shoot, so I could get more 2nd place c-class plaques.

There's some French dude that's pretty good, but they're more of a Major thing.

In essence you're correct but who uses them or what sort of advantage they might give aren't the points.  The point is Troy McManus' stupidity for making off the cuff comments and personal opinions that have zero support from the rule book.

This one seems to me like it has pretty solid support from the rulebook, although I realize that is not always the case. But I still don't care and am just arguing because it's not keeping me from practice.

At first I thought this "gas pedal" was a replacement slide release lever, which is listed as one of the parts allowed to be replaced with aftermarket parts in D4 21.6.

 

But Tyler Turner pointed out that it's not slide stop/slide release.  It's a takedown lever and takedown levers are not on the list of parts in 21.6.  There's no language that says "including but not limited to" in 21.6.

 

21.6 is an exclusive list.  If it ain't there you can't change it.

 

I guess Troy likes his job too much and thinks he can just make shit up on a whim.

[Just Some Random Hoser]

Of course big egos have big ideas....if I were you, I’d watch more closely and you’ll see more things that don’t make sense or aren’t in line with the rule book....just sayin

I can see where a someone taking the strictest possible view would make that argument. I would appease rules nazis by just adding the text 'takedown levers and similar crap' to the literal reading. It is only in the spirit of rules nazi-ism to split hairs about takedown levers vs slide-stops, since most normal guns don't have takedown levers. I'd rather be a rules nazi about stuff that matters. IMHO, this doesn't.

You can't pick and choose when to be literal about it and when not if you want to be taken seriously. That's Troy.

or just quit trying to cheat without really cheating per the rules

[Motosapiens]

Much to my surprise, it doesn't look like allowing a funny-shaped takedown lever or slide stop was enough for any people that use such devices to beat kolby or nils at A1. I'm shocked.... shocked I tell you.
