Open 10 category?
Does anyone here shoot USPSA, open division, in a ten round state? If so do you still get classified against everyone that is using "Big Sticks"?
I've often wondered why we have Limited 10, but no Open 10... |

There are only a couple of classifiers in which having more than ten rounds is of any advantage, so capacity shouldn't impact your classification.
I think there's no Open 10 because if it was LIMITED to 10 rounds, it wouldn't be Open, would it? |

I see your point about the classifiers, but...

I can't understand why there is a Limited 10 and regular Limited, but only one open. It only seems fair that there be an Open 10 as well. |

hmmmm... 10 rds in the gun or 30???? I saw Rob leatham whoop Open division with a Singlestack and 8 rds... I guess thats why they call him the great one..
Aside from him, I don't think your gonna be competitive against shooters in your class with bigsticks. I have a STI EAGLE 5.5 open pistol in .45.... I use it for steel or pins, as thats all its good for. probably rebarrel the top end, and build a cool semi longslide iron sighted fungun.. |

Canada, ay?
The "point" was "grandfathered"; the rest was a mild attempt at humor, as limiting magazine capacity is something best left for other more backward countries to enact.
Or New Jersey.
