1911s and USPSA
Did I read the rules right that (SA Only) 1911s such as the Gold Cup and 1911a1's are not allowed in USPSA matches??

1911's
I believe that is incorrect. I went to my first USPSA match a few weeks ago and most people were using single stack and single action 1911's.

Thanks, hope you are right. I was going by this from their web site.

SAO handguns are not allowed in Production division, but are in Single Stack, Limited, Limited 10 and Open. Perhaps that is where the confusion came from.

Your confusion is due to not really reading the rule books, all nine of them, and nearly 500 pages.
The handgun rules books alone are about 150 pages worth. Just keep them in the bathroom. Sooner or later you will wade through them all.

Not sure it really is 500 pages, but that includes pistol, rifle shotgun, precision rifle, and multigun, in 5 different books. Just want pistol? That is 100 booklet sized, large-ish print pages including tables and pictures and blank pages for notes. Feel better?

I shot the match with my Series 70 Gold Cup, I let them figure it out. They put me in the "single stack" catagory.
I actually paid to shoot a second gun. I wanted to see which I shot the best, my Beretta 92FS or the Colt. The colt won hands down, (shooting wise, I got a couple procedure penalites when I was shooting the Colt; Skipping a shooting station and shooting from the wrong box) but that was me, not the gun. I can shoot the Colt better, but when it comes to loading, well 18 round mags beat 7 round mags. But again I've been shooting the Colt about 35 years vs. one year for the Beretta. I thought a Colt Gold Cup was considered a modern pistol, but there were a few comments that it was older then most of the shooters at the match. Thank God for cast bullets, you go through a heck of a lot of ammo shooting two guns at these matches. All in All, I did pretty good for an over the hill rifle shooter.

Kraig, you know this, but for others - unless you choose to go into another division, the single stack and a 92 do not compete head-to-head. Quote:

Just what it implies 1911 with 8 round magazines and 1 in da pipe is single stack. As a previous post had in it I am unaware of a DA/SA 1911

Check out page 82 of the Handgun Rules for details on the Single-Stack Division. Here is the Special Note, which is key to the division:
