I'm signed up for a local (stage I? its the lowest level, anyway) match next Sunday in Brooksville FL.
There are 61 entries registered, breaking out like this:
Carry Optics 14, 23.0%
Limited 13, 21.3%
Open 13, 21.3%
Pcc 9, 14.8%
Production, 10 16.4%
Revolver 1, 1.6%
Single Stack 1, 1.6%
FWIW.
I thought all the top guys hated carry optics and PCC and said they'd never make it past provisional division status?

They were mistaken obviously.
The proliferation of divisions means that there aren't as many in each one at local matches. The main reason I shoot locals is to practice for major matches. It's nice when there's at least one other M/GM Production shooter to compete against, but it really doesn't matter to me. We could get rid of Lim10 and Revolver. I'm guessing some folks would complain bitterly if we eliminated Single Stack, and the Major or Minor option does make that division kind of cool.
I'm not sure PCC really belongs in USPSA, but people are having fun with it. A bunch of people are making M and GM in PCC who aren't competitive in A or M class in any pistol division. Not really a problem-- it just makes B and C class shooters happy when they beat them.

Carry Optics seems to be growing like crazy lately. Couple friends who are haters call it GeriOptics.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
