[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2573758, member: 5412"] My notes: I would shoot limited minor with the M&P, and without knowing your caliber in the 1911, shoot production or limited 10. Copyied from RBGC: Single Stack: Bring out your [B]1911[/B] and shoot skinny style with us. This division caters to the 1911 purist and thus requires barrel bushings for barrels over 4.25". Major Power Factor (higher recoiling rounds that score more points per hit on a target) requires a minimum of .40 caliber ammunition, but most guns in this division are chambered in good old .45ACP.

No compensators or ported barrels allowed as this is a stock and not a race division. The gun (with an unloaded magazine inserted) must be able to fit within a box of dimensions 8.938" x 6" x 1.625". Production: First rule of production is no single action handguns.
