LIMITED AND FLASHLIGHTS - SEARCHED BEFORE ASKING
Some background.
First year USPSA. Shooting limited. Local matches. Last match saw a guy in limited with a Taylor Freelance Sight Block and a SJC Frame Weight hanging from the rail of his G35 looking G22. I was interested since it looked like he was shooting .22's out of his 22.
Decided to put something similar together. My first thought was instead of spending the money for the SJC weight, I'd take an old dead WML and fill it with lead. Also solve the holster problem.
BUT the limited rules say no installed flashlight. I got to searching and read some stuff on BE which lead me to believe that there are folks who feel that a gutted flashlight filled with lead is not a flashlight and can be used as a weight.
On it's face this makes absolutely no sense to me, but, this is USPSA, so I'm uncertain as to what the ruling would be.
Any help?
ETA: Another question, has anyone ever added tungsten in the bottom shroud of a TF Sight Block? I took a tungsten buffer weight and shaved about a 1/16th of one end and it allows the pistol to function - wanted to check any negative aspects before set screwing it into place permanently.
Thanks.
