Re: IDPA 2017 Rulebook dramatically changes BUG size/weight limits
Those guns have been called pistol caliber carbines for years, before PCC division was a thing in either IDPA or USPSA. I don't care what IDPA calls it, but calling it "limited caliber carbine" wouldn't really work for USPSA, because "limited" would imply it has something to do with Limited division, when it doesn't.

Rifle rounds don't work very well against steel at the short-ish distances generally encountered in pistol matches.Soccerdad1995 wrote:And don't get me started on the PCC division. I can see someone having a small carbine available at home or in their vehicle, but I am at a loss to understand why that same person would want to limit their options to only "pistol" calibers (and let's just ignore the fact that a lot of "pistols" fire .223 and 7.62 rounds when we define the term "pistol caliber").
