What are you doing to your production/ssp guns?

[sheperd80]

Unknowingly DQed my gun from production by having the trigger guard undercut and applying an aggressive stip job to some parts of the pistol. I love the work, feels great in my hand but illegal for production. I hadn't shot or had any interest in IDPA or USPSA when I had it done.

Aw thats a bummer. But now you have a great excuse to start adding a magwell and raceholster and stuff if your already limited or limited 10

Can anyone say if sanding down the 'hump' behind the magazine release on an m&p is legal for USPSA production?

The hump falls within the area where 'checkering, stippling, or other texture' may be applied, but the language of specifically prohibited modifications and features says "Grips – any addition or
removal of material which
changes the factory profile or adds function..." is prohibited.

I'm guessing it is prohibited since it doesn't so much change the factory profile of the grip (maybe a little), but adds function in making the magazine release easier to activate.

I think your interpretation is correct. My understanding of the rule is that any change to the grip profile, other than what is necessary for stippling, is prohibited.
