Strange, I find in the latest version of USPSA CO:
21.2b
Milling of slide
A slide may be modified specifically for the
purpose of installing optical sights or cocking
serrations.

So are they going to change the weight limit for CO?
Change from what? The latest version on USPSA.org is
18 Maximum weight Yes, 45 oz, including optic and empty magazine
Same in IDPA provisional CO
B. Maximum weight including empty magazine will not exceed 45 ounces.
Code Name: JET STREAM
"Impressions" may not match the rules. I find for IDPA CO
A. Handguns, associated modifications, restrictions, holsters, magazine carriers, calibers, start
condition, and division capacity shall be compliant with ESP Division requirements, except as it
relates to sights, lasers and overall weight.
and
8.2.2.2 ESP Permitted Features and Modifications (Inclusive list):
N. Checkering, serrating, and stippling.
Looks to me like you will be able to swing both ways.

The biggest difference is that IDPA Carry Optics will allow 1911/2011 style guns, which I don’t think USPSA CO allows yet.
IDPA CO doing this makes me happy because I always thought CO was stupid and we should have kept Modified.
This essentially got me interested in shooting a dot again for competition. My 2011 dot gun is a commander with a slide mounted rmr, and competing in USPSA Open with it is a little rough as its not legal for CO. With IDPA allowing it thus far, it's got me shooting/focusing on IDPA a bit more now. With the upsurge of 1911/2011 slide mounted red dot options available, as well as the "relaxing" of the USPSA CO rules, I hope, though doubt, they will be included at some point.
