The concept of DMG was slightly (insert your own expletive) because it was merely a watered down form of something which never was IDPA.

A lot of work has been done to draft a proper rulebook to provide SADPA members with the opportunity to shoot REALISTIC defensive scenario's using rifles and shotguns in addition to the current IDPA handgun and PCC divisions.

When the committee responsible for the new rules are satisfied that the rules are 100% perfect and SADPA approves them, only then will the new rules apply. And it will be good. And there will be no silliness like "Tube fed guns being allowed to load other guns"

Realistically we can expect the new thing around beginning of next year.
DMG main purpose and mandate from the members at the time was never to be IDPA centric but rather to be long gun centric with specific emphasis on modern sporting long guns..

IMO ( yes I know the adage) IDPA does not provide realistic defensive scenarios and/or realistic defensive execution under the current rulebook or any other.
