I think TJ was right on the latter, if you don't also point the gun in an unsafe direction or muzzle yourself then it is only a violation of one of the rules of the game and just a procedural. I can get to the DQ on the holstering (or breaking the 180), because the muzzling exception for drawing and carrying the gun before the beep assumes any appropriate safeties will be engaged (and I can really see somebody getting hurt, we all have nerves at this sometimes and it is easy to miss your grip even when you are not antsy I'm remembering the guy that threw his gun on the draw during the March classifier).
I could still be wrong about the DQ, don't have anything written in stone just several opinions, would be interesting to ask what the head cheese at Sellersburgh thinks.
Oh, other thing I noticed Sat. Some folks with good trigger jobs (maybe) are slamming the slides down hard during show clear, I need to remember to tell them they don't have to do that, may just be a 1911 thing though.
Oh, me getting a DQ was all my own fault, not unfair. I ain't all a perky about it, but I did screw up.
I think you're right about the DQ. All the verbiage in the rulebook talks about weapons being holstered with all safeties on, according to design. With a single action pistol, it's a must.
I made an effort Saturday to see what guys shooting guns with external safeties were doing when holstering. My squad was filled with USPSA guys, one of them a 3 divison GM. Without exception they all not only engaged their safeties but did so at eye level of the SO so he could see what they were doing. Never had noticed that little ritual before.
I'd say Leigh Ann would DQ for breaking the safety rule for holstering, procedurals for other.
