I did battle with the rule book some years back over a Bianchi because the model 19 holster (hip carry, 5" 1911, thumb break) was in the book but my holster - a 19L, same holster with a liner - was not. I go through the same drill now every time I shoot a match with my 5" 625 because the rule book stipulates 4.2" maximum barrel length for revolvers. I tell them, "OK, then, just don't score my targets, or hit me with the procedural penalty for each shot fired" which causes such neuron overload that I expect heads to start exploding.
