Quick Question:

Is the M&P PRO CORE Series Legal for IDPA SSP?

Found a good deal on a full frame 9L Pro Series and getting ready to purchase. Only snag is that it's the CORE model, which means the slide is cut to accept 3rd party optical sights. An adapter completely covers the cut when the iron sights are in use, so didn't think it would be an issue with SSP, but came across this snippet in the 2017 Rule Book:

8.2.1.2 SSP Permitted Modifications (Inclusive list):
A. Sights may be changed to another notch and post type. Slides may not be machined to accept different style
sights"

Can any IDPA Match Administrators or SO's provide any guidance with the interpretation of the rule? Does the rule extend to the OEM models, or only to aftermarket modifications to the slide?

Thanks !
