In July of 2015, USPSA announced the provisional Carry Optics Division. During the past few months, the provisional division has exhibited slow but steady growth. The members interested in this division have spoken, and the USPSA Board of Directors has listened. The division will remain provisional, but for the remainder of 2016 will have some new opportunities.
The changes for Carry Optics Division will make it truly unique from other divisions, and will include:
[SIZE=12pt]Please note that making some of the changes now allowed in the provisional Carry Optics Division will render your handgun illegal for Production Division. A new appendix has been added to the online rulebook to aid shooters and match officials with the changes.

The changes for Carry Optics Division will make it truly unique from other divisions, and will include:
- Authorization for all levels of USPSA and Steel Challenge
- Expanded stippling, contouring and texturing of the grip frame to include undercut trigger guard and grip reduction
- Expanded slide profiles to include serrations and cosmetic cuts not completely through the slide
- Increased weight limit of 45 ounces, including optic and empty magazine, allowing more pistols to compete
- Required use of a slide-mounted optic, prohibiting guns without an optic.

That just seems odd. Open doesn't require an optic. I wonder if back up iron sights will be permitted? What if you get caught using those rather than the dot?mike cyrwus said:

it is a total sell out to consumer demand, and shows the tipping point in the industry thats now "SHOW, no go"

even Jesse doesnt have one of these fruitcake $2500 plastic optic pistols; what does that tell you?

100% agree on the consumer demand thing. Just watching my Facebook feed from non-USPSA people and they seem to love the slide mounded optics and plate carriers. Seems to be more focused on Red Dawn than competition, but it might encourage more industry support for USPSA. I'll stick with regular old production... Way fewer things to break.

I wouldn't say all of USPSA went down this road. I think it's just Matt and Burk right now.The Antichrome said:
