I've a more radical rule in mind. This is a 21st century, no manufacturer, except for SIG but even they got caught, can bring a serious duty gun to the market without a drop safety mechanism. USPSA is a sport with highest likelihood of guns being dropped comparatively to other shooting sports. They need to require mandatory firing pin safety mechanisms in all guns. It can be implemented without any appreciable performance decline in 1911s, 2011s, CZs etc. Biggest problem is negative effect on current gun owners so it has to be done with appropriate grace period. Say, 2035 - 2040 is the target year for mandatory compliance. Should be sufficiently long enough to shoot out all current guns and replace them with safer designs.

My club can be very quiet, and I’m always conscious of people showing up while I’m downrange pasting. I have a couple of hiviz items I keep in the car for club range wear to try and mitigate that exposure. The flags and cones should be enough, but you’ll never get rich overestimating people’s common sense.

That's generally true, I suppose, but it would be easy enough to take care of it at registration/check in. "I see you're shooting a CZ Shadow. You running the stock firing pin?" Sure, people could lie, but at least you'd get *some* compliance.
On this point, we agree.I doubt anything will be done... unless there are lawsuits with large judgements and consent decrees forcing USPSA to make some sort of rule change.
