What happens if ...

[MonkeyMan]

A hypothetical question:

The '94 AWB dies a horrible, lingering, painful, and well-deserved death.

The IDPA BOD will:
1. carry on as usual,
2. remove the 10 round limit to magazines,
3. create a new classification for pistols with more than 10 round mags?

My gut feeling is #1 but hey, I can dream can't I?

Your thoughts.

Never thought about that one. I bet the 10rd limit will stay. There are some guns that only can handle 10 anyway in SSP

I think they will hold to the 10 shot limit. It is too ingrained into their concept of the sport for the BoD to change.

I think the right thing to do would be to have a ten shot divison for single stacks and remaining Klinton Klips and a high cap division for pre '94/post '04 gear. Guns and techniques have developed so far that there is little if any difference in scores with the different action types, but saving a reload matters.
I guess you would have to keep CDP to give 1911 .45s a home.

I also wonder what USPSA will do about magazine capacity for Production. Makes sense to drop the 10 shot limit when and if new full capacity magazines get legally available. And they are not trying to live in the past, no philosophical reason not to change.

I would think they would stick to the 10 round limit at least temporarily.

They'll stick to a 10-round limit until Bill Wilson starts mass-producing a hi-cap .45 that takes his hi-cap .45 magazines.

They'll just use IPSC rules.

I am going to be amused at the monkey wrench it would throw into the IDPA though.

Remember, it must fit in the box!!! All except SSR...

I would hazard an uneducated guess and say your ATF would make a new regulation making everything will stay the same as it is. If they can say once FA always FA and make it stick, they can do whatever they please. No offense but you guys need to write your legislators and complain about this non-law being law. And about a government agency making laws.
