The BUG I was using, a Taurus G2, will now only fit if I modify and use KelTec P11 flat bottom mags and trim about 1/8 off the butt of the grip at the rear. I do have a 380 KelTec that I could use, but I seriously doubt it would make the power factor. IDPA keeps screwing be on guns. I started out shooting a Glock 23 (40 cal) with a stippled grip that I had done myself and cost me nothing but time. The 40 cartridge already put me at a slight disadvantage to those shooting 9mm in SSP, then IDPA changed the rules so that my stippled grip was now ESP. So a Glock 23 would have to compete with a 9mm 1911 or similar pistol just because I had improved the grip, but I could have put viciously rugged grip tape on it and been fine. I think Cotton is right - to change the rule book you need to start with lighter fluid and a match.

Perhaps they should make it so that all holsters had to be IWB and spare mags stuffed in a pocket, while they are at it.

I am expecting next they will limit all barrels except CDP to 4.5 inches, so all of those 5.25s become safe queens - after all, who do you know that carries a 5.25 inch gun.
