IMHO, as a IDPA S.O. , if I saw your muzzle on the 180, even pointed at the floor ,I would stop you imeadiately and a DQ would follow; KEEP AWAY FROM THE 180 ! AT ALL COSTS! when I do a weak hand reload w/speedloaders, I do the Gloob Shuffle while muzzle is Down Range, close cylinder, then face the 180 increasing speed to the next shooting position, while keeping the muzzle pointed, arm extended mostly straight down range, not at the floor or ground.
if you hit the 180, you've gone too far even if you don't break it. S.O.s are going to error on the side of safety. P.S. the LAST thing a S.O. wants to do is DQ. another shooter. please help them whenever you are on the firing line.
