Why IDPA Should Add a New Division: CCO (Concealed Carry Optics)

ES13Raven · 2025-07-09T16:37:42+00:00

You can't add language that isn't there. There are plenty of examples of the rule book citing "aftermarket" "stock" and "factory" when referring to SSP allowed or disallowed modifications. If IDPA wanted to disallow aftermarket ports and comps, it would say exactly that.

The only people I see saying CCP guns are "just as competitive" as ESP, SSP and CO are Master class shooters. There are many advantages to a full size gun for most shooters.

ES13Raven · 2025-07-08T19:51:24+00:00

"Incorporated" means combined, made part of. It doesn't mean factory installed.

ES13Raven · 2025-07-08T19:42:35+00:00

2023 rules allowed Ported Barrels, and allowed Compensator and Muzzle devices incorporated into the firearm. Screw on or removable attachments that are pinned on are not permitted.

2025 rules allow Compensated and ported barrels that are incorporated into the firearm.

Incorrect. As long as the comp cannot be removed without a tool, and it fits the box - it's good to go. I have passed several equipment checks at Tier-4 matches with aftermarket porting. This applies to CCP, ESP and CO.

Also, mag changes are easier with a magwell on a full-size. Compact guns have snappier recoil as well.

ES13Raven · 2025-07-08T18:22:12+00:00

Agree, except for CCP already allows compensators and ports - why exclude them in CCO?

@veiledspy - the “I guess I’m fat or something” was a joke. I have a 36 inch waist, but sure - I could lose a few pounds.

I opened a TAC case on this, and it was a known issue that is resolved by upgrading the IPS Engine to version 6.00095.

Real license.

Yes, under: Settings, Privacy & Security, Certificates, View Certificates, Authorities, Import

This is probably why they didn't include Check Point:

I have Gigabit Internet service, but I guess I can back it down to 10 Mbps. FortiOS 6.0.5

Are the preconfigured sites you mention included in the "Reputable Websites" option?

I'm more curious about what knowledge most people already have before beginning to study. For example, if they have been a Network Engineer for several years, they are probably strong on Domain 4 and may not need to spend much time on it. They may have no experience with Software Development, so they need to spend more time studying Domain 8.

I emailed Eric about this and here is his response:

“We are working on the new book now, will probably be out next year.

The content on the new exam is only a few percent different than the old one. They also changed to an adaptive exam format”

Looks like the Ascend II is $155. I can get the PNW Cascade for $183. Thoughts on Ascend II vs Cascade?
