Lately, there has been a lot of chatter about USPSA having a new or provisional division for 2011 pistols with a red dot.
I am assuming no comp and a slide mounted optic but no idea whether just minor, 140mm, mag wells?

Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
If that meant CO would go to 15+1 rounds, I could get behind* that.Originally Posted by GJM

Isn't CO limited to mag length, not cap?

Yes, currently it allows 140mm mags. You can't be competitive without mags that hold 23+1, and which are not super reliable without fiddling.
How a 140mm mag fits into "Carry" optics, I have no idea..

@Clusterfrack ah, read that wrong. I'm thinking about delving into the world of USPSA CO and it's disconcerting to hear that one needs 23+1 to be competitive.

Depends on how "competitive" you want to be... Plenty of people shoot CO with smaller mags. But when a stage is 24 rounds and the top shooters are all doing it without a reload, there really is no choice if you want to be in it for the win.

I don't claim to understand USPSA division/division requirements logic but I sure wish they would abandon the notion that Steel Challenge has to track USPSA division-wise WRT centerfire handguns. I know I won't live long enough to see single action allowed in CO for example.
There sure are examples of that, like a stage at the Limited/CO nationals a few years back, that was a close range 24 round speed shoot. Interestingly, with more challenging targets, I would almost always reload rather than shoot to slide lock, because the care I invest in not needing a make up shot usually negates the time advantage of skipping a reload.

Hey, steel challenge has optic revolvers with comps… wish those were allowed in USPSA revolver!
I bought a pair of Prodigies and ordered some 29 round mags hoping that the new division allows 170mm… I mean if Springfield has factory 26 rounders…
I would love to have an excuse to go back to 1911s…
Same here except exactly the opposite
