And you'd need a paddle mag catch, which would just be weird awesome.

FTFY.

Wouldn’t that put this pistol into USPSA Open division?

I just want this pistol with a plate solution--don't really follow the competition stuff.
But I did check https://www.targetbarn.com/broad-side/uspsa-divisions/
which appears to say "Carry Optics" Division.

(Carry Optics is on the slide. Open is frame mounted.)

Thank you olstyn. I agree with you. That would be awesome.

As long as we're dreaming, I prefer the CZ safety location (away from the slide, so winter gloves don't interfere) too.

A plate solution, and a polymer frame for the carry version is my wish. ETA And sight cuts thar give you a lot of options.

Right, but there's a little more to it than that. Carry optics doesn't allow SAO triggers, for one. Plus there's a weight limit.

If I took my 2011 limited gun and slide-mounted an optic on it, I'd still be in Open by the current rules, even though I have no comp/porting.

Open permits a frame mounted optic, but you don't have to do it that way.

That said, since you don't shoot USPSA, the above is academic.

Cool. Thanks for the info. (Real thanks, not sarcasm.)

Information is always good.

I know why they dropped it for competition. But I want a carry version out badly. This and the STI will hopefully breed some other competitors out there. And preferably under 2k. This gun has serious potential imo for a reliable carry gun.

Since I went back to shooting a 1911, I have been dreaming of how nice it would be to have a rds with this trigger. The rds makes me shoot Glocks pretty damn well for long range stuff. Really helps with my eyesight and being able to see all of the target.

I really wanna see the compact model. If I ever got one I’d want to turn into a Roland Special-ish kind of pistol.

I see a compact/carry version as a half-price Wilson EDC X9.
I look forward to seeing what comes down the pike and how they shake out.
