New rules

So does this mean the M&P competitor isn't allowed from the start because of its name!?!

That's not what it means

[chances R]

That's not what it means

Equipment Guidelines: Gear permitted for Defensive Pistol competition must be specifically designed for everyday carry
(NOT for range or competition use)



Just sayin'

And we can know what the designer was thinking how?

In your case you can say “I’m the designer and I designed it for every day carry so go pound sand!”

JCN, thanks for a great laugh.

... and don't forget that AIWB isn't allowed at certain ranges/clubs, even though it passes pretty much all of those criteria.

Y’know… this pains me to state, as an AIWB daily carrier myself, but the truth is, every time I’m RO-ing in my USPSA squad and a relative noob is on the line with an AIWB rig and a striker gun, and they do the Instagram slam after making ready, I wince more than a bit.

I do try to kindly suggest they holster more reluctantly, and sometimes they even actually listen.

I kinda get why some clubs have that sort of policy.

I've found the remonstration "Don't blow your B***s off. I don't have a tourniquet for that," works quite well.

IDPA - I don't practice anymore
AIWB - Am I without balls?

[Zincwarrior]

I also like to call it "waddle and shoot"

Overall these new rules, especially since they are only one year after the previous set of new rules, make me wonder about the thinking that goes into them.
