    So it's the IDPA version of USPSA "rules clarifications" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    I hope the 5x5 thing comes to fruition.
    I had an ER nurse in a class. I noticed she kept taking all head shots. Her response when asked why, "'I've seen too many people who have been shot in the chest putting up a fight in the ER." Point taken.

    I'll note the IDPA news page recommends downloading the new end of year rulebook from the IDPA.tech website, which at the very least implies an endorsement, if not an official relationship.

    2017 end of year rulebook errata

    The 2017 end of year rulebook errata was released on Jan 1st for the new shooting year.

    Based on the number of new products introduced to the market during the last year that produced several questions at matches, restrictions were lifted on the number and types of changes that are allowed on pistol slides in ESP and CDP divisions. No other changes, except the 2 noted format changes, have been made and the latest copy ( 2017.3) is on both the IDPA website or the IDPA.Tech web site. We will not be mailing new rulebooks to the membership.

    For clubs and safety officers, an updated version of Match Administration Guide was also released to address issues that arise from sanctioned matches.

    The latest copies may be downloaded from the IDPA and IDPA.Tech websites.

    I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention to the pistol-training.com page on the 5x5 drill. Bill Wilson's standards match the ESP standards above exactly, though it doesn't appear the standards have changed to reflect new IDPA scoring.

    5×5 Skill Test
    designed by Bill Wilson

    Range: 10yd
    Target: standard IDPA target
    Start position: Hands at your sides facing target. No concealment garment necessary.
    Rounds fired: 25

    Another quick and easy to set up/score shooting test by Bill Wilson of Wilson Combat. It is intended for a service pistol of 9mm caliber or larger, concealed carry suitable holster and ammunition with a power factor (bullet weight x velocity) of 125,000 or more. Scoring is standard Vickers with a half second penalty per point down.

    There are four strings of fire, each for time:

    Draw and fire 5 shots freestyle.
    Draw and fire 5 shots SHO (strong hand only).
    Draw and fire 5 shots freestyle, reload from slidelock and fire 5 more shots freestyle.
    Draw and fire 4 shots to the body and 1 shot to the head freestyle.
    Bill Wilson’s suggested scoring:

    Grand Master: 15 seconds or less
    Master: 20 seconds or less
    Expert: 25 seconds or less
    Sharpshooter: 32 seconds or less
    Marksman: 41 seconds or less
    Novice: 50 seconds or less
    Not proficient enough to carry a handgun: Over 50 seconds

    Training with firearms is an inherently dangerous activity. Be sure to follow all safety protocols when using firearms or practicing these drills. These drills are provided for information purposes only. Use at your own risk.

    So I assume the 17 and RMR do fit in the box then?

    I'm curious about the box, since the Provisional CO rules specifically mention a CO Box, and then use the same dimensions as the standard IDPA Gun Test Box.

    Of course if it isn't a typo, I could just pull the comp and magwell off the G19...(well, actually I can't since it has slide serrations...grrr...)
