| Ruling | |
| The Board of Directors has reviewed an earlier interpretation of the rules, one regarding finishes to guns in Production division, and have decided to rescind this interpretation.
It will be now legal in the US to have your Production gun finish cosmeticly enhanceed,eg.Teflon,NP3,hard chrome, matt finish hard chrome, bright finish hard chrome etc., the Board of Directors felt that there is no advantaged gained, nor is it a ruling that could be enforced consistently. USPSA’s interpretation April 13, 2004. Question--My slide is getting scratched up and I would like to have a new finish put on. If I had the tenifer finish removed and the slide hard chromed, would my G35 still be Production legal? Answer--Here is how the language of the US Production division reads in the new rules. 21.5 External modifications other than sights not allowed Based on this, you would be able to reblue your slide, but not change it to chrome, it would have to be as originally offered by the manufacturer. IPSC’s interpretation. Appendix D4 - 19.1 Modifications to them, other than minor detailing, are prohibited. Interpretation: In respect of the above rule, prohibited modifications are deemed to include changing the original colour and/or finish of a gun, and/or adding stripes or other embellishments.. | |
