I go by this rule now. I remember one time I practiced for a match, cleaned my gun and didn't realize I tweaked a spring during disassembly/assembly. The following day I had several malfunctions that kinked my match.Quote:

Some 1911's may need frequent cleaning. My Colt doesn't and I treat it like a Glock. It gets more lube than a Glock needs but that's about it.
If they are illegal it's such a disadvantage that no one would ever really care regardless. Considering there's plenty of shooting matches in the freezing cold I'd be surprised if they were completely illegal though.
I have no experience with pre-2005 rule books but none of the ones I've read (2005 - present day) say anything about gloves. I would be very surprised if gloves were ever not allowed.Quote:

Yes, I must be mistaken. I did a quick google search with no ban on gloves found. Some clubs do stages where gloves are required to simulate winter use. Even shooting specific gloves would yield no competitive advantage.Quote:

Some people live in God forsaken hellholes where it doesn't get down to -20F on the regular ;)
I don't know. Just reporting on what I found out.Quote:
