I think if you make Production and CO same capacity, you might just make CO less popular and may not help Production at all.
1. I don't care about IPSC personally.
2. Wimpy gamer ammo makes guns less reliable too without changing recoil springs.
3. Many full size factory guns have capacity in the 17 range, so downloading factory mags could be seen as silly and less desirable.
4. Doesn't change that Open and PCC have 38-40 round capacity.
IMO as a Carry Optics guy, I think you're looking at it the wrong way. I don't care about Production or SS. I want to have less gap to Open and PCC, so as much capacity as I can get to get closer to them, that's what I want.
People have overall bragging rights enjoyment even though it's not a competition across divisions. I want a gun I can buy off the shelf ammo that runs reliably with a dot that I can have large capacity similar to Open and PCC.
CO15 won't do anything but hurt CO.
