robot Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Have a question for all you experienced IDPA shooters. When is reloading considered initiated? 1. The moment the shooter goes for the magazine by sweeping garment aside? 2. The moment the shooter grasps his/her magazine/moonclip? 3. The moment the shooter pulls magazine/moonclip free? I understand that the moment the shooter ejects the magazine or opens the cylinder is a clear cut case. thanks for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steel1212 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) I understand that the moment the shooter ejects the magazine or opens the cylinder is a clear cut case. Another one of those instances where if the rule book just simply said just that it would clear a lot of things up. With out that your left to RO/MD discretion. Some call it as soon as the hand leaves the gun to go towards the mag. Some call it taking the mag out of the pouch or opening the cylinder.

robot Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 Thanks Sirveyr & Merlin! I tried looking for this using the search function but I got all other kinds of topic. Wasn't really sure which keyword to use to find this specific thread. @steel1212 I would default to actually "drawing the magazine" because that's the only thing that's written in the rulebook. I do remember shooting a stage where the description specifically states that support hand should not move towards magazine or be anywhere near magpouch until array is shot.

Ahab Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 The nice thing about being a wheelgun shooter is that you generally use both hands to initiate a reload, so it's pretty obvious for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 As has been stated numerous times, this topic has already been discussed in detail. Rather than have two threads on the same topic, I'm going to shut this one down. Anything needing to be said, that hasn't already, can go into the previously existent thread.
