While reading through the recent discussion on the fancy CZ Shadow and how many consider it to be a "cheater" gun for Production, this thought occurred to me: Rather than USPSA putting guns into Production or Limited based primarily on trigger type, how about using frame weight as the primary criteria?
The reasoning for this is that pretty much any production-legal gun can be tuned to have an "easy" trigger, so the primary determining factor affecting the gun's handling at speed is its recoil behavior which, in my very limited experience, is determined most greatly by the weight of the frame.
I'm sure it'd take an act of God to make a change of that magnitude, but what do y'all think? Good idea, or am I off my rocker?
