IDPA is a great organization and a well organized league. Don't ever threaten the 1911's though. Remember all the flap about 10mm and .400 Corbon's competing in CDP?

I have pondered this question and feel that you'd be okay with this setup at a local Match but a Sanctioned Match you'd be playing the odds of legality to shoot in SSP. It would be up to individual MD interpretation until Robert Ray provides guidance from IDPA HQ.
I see no reason not to allow anything that makes major power factor in CDP. CDP would just be ESP with major. Of course, I don't run the show.
Bill Wilson was pretty adament that this was their game, their rules, if you don't like it, go start your own game elsewhere.
I understand that and play along accordingly... sort of. I disagree with a lot of the rulings they have made in the past few years, as well as the methodology in posting those rulings. But, it's not my game, I just show up to play with my ball.
JLWeems,
You're one of many. There are a lot of guys that have .40's 10mm's etc. that want to run against the 1911's. I don't really understand the logic behind the ruling. Unless it's preservation?

At the time, I dont think Wilson made a 10mm gun. It was self preservation!
I'm going to back up on what I said earlier. (JLWeems, write this down). I think that IDPA does not want a major/minor system like USPSA/IPSC. Even though the break between the two has been several years ago, from what I can tell there are still some pretty strong feelings, at least on the IDPA side of things.
