Thanks for that clarification between the two RB.

"no one shoots 9mm in IPSC, you'll have to buy a .40" ... don't tell that to PD shooters.

8.3.8 is is not written like that in the IPSC Handgun RB I've just downloaded (january 2012). I had a case of a droped gun after it was holstered but just before "range is clear" (due to a broken holster) : didn't call for a dq because gun was dropped after the end of COF.

For me, drawing (safely) at "stand by" is more something like a flase start than an unsafe gun handling. "Range is clear" is not the command that ends COF. COF ends when handgun is holstered and hands of the competitor are of the handgun (8.3.7.3).

Same thing for me : MSA Sordin (tested with new gel pads this week end : great comfort). I've tested several electronic devices but for most of them, after a rainy day at the range, they did not work well any more (oxydation on the electronics make them crackle) Depending on the one you chose, at least they are "splash-proof", at best, they are waterproof.

Except cutting some coils, no change. I directly dropped follower+spring in the tube (same for STI and SPS tubes, I do not have any SVI tube yet).

For the moment, I've tuned 2 STI 126 mm mags tube like that : Dawson or SPS basepads SVI "super slim" follower SVI spring with 1 or 2 coils cut off That makes 18 rounds mags for .40 that fit in the IPSC box, but not reloadable... still working on other configurations to get reloadable 18 rnds mags.

Hello, my name is Philippe. I'm a french handgun IPSC shooter and also national range officer. Thnks for the forum and have a nice day.
