IDPA reload question

[Nowhere Man]

Classifier tips from Tim Bacus reads as follows:
(copied from http://www.ccidpa.org/clastips.html )

"A tac load will be slightly faster if you move as soon as you insert the new mag and stow the used mag wile moving forward. If you are more likely to do the complete reload behind cover then it will be faster to do a retention reload. Run to the barrel, you get no style points for crouching or moving 'tactically'. Don't rush the barrel shots, you're still 15 yards back, front sight, press."


IDPA say: 'All reloads must be executed from cover and must be completed before leaving cover......."

Would stowing the used mag while moving forward violate IDPA rules?

The reload is complete as soon as the mag is seated

[Nowhere Man]

Even a partially loaded magazine which requires stowing?

[eljay45]

page 79 of the rule book says "A shooter is deemed loaded and may move from a position of cover ONLY when the fresh magazine is FULLY-SEATED and the slide is closed"

Stow the mag on the way if you like.

[Nowhere Man]

Yep, That's what I was looking for.

Thanks eljay45.

You can move while stowing a partial mag but that magazine must be stowed prior to firing the next shot.

Hey Dave, Neil. They keep score, don't they????

I might be a master if I quit dropping tac reload mags on the ground.
