Shadow 2 not legal for IDPA

[MoRivera]

I shoot a DA/SA Sig P226 for SSP and a P226 Legion SAO for ESP.

My shooting buddy bought one for IDPA.  I told him it was too heavy and he?d be ratted out..so he bought a Shadow Target II to go with it.

Saw a guy dq'd at backstoppers last year for using a Shadow 2 and a complete USPSA rig.

If only there was a way to shave off ~3 ounces from the S2 to make it legal for IDPA....Polymer guide rod?....

I think just doing that would also take it out of SSP or ESP.  Maybe if they made an alloy-framed version, but that would just defeat the whole purpose of the gun itself.

Wrong, just can't use a guide rod heavier than stainless steel.

I was referring to lightening the frame or slide via milling or what have you, when he said 'shave off ~ 3 oz'.  Obviously a polymer guide rod won't make a rule difference.  But it also probably won't make a 3 oz. difference.
