timawa Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I got a silly question about the magazine having in an upright position in the mag holder. Is this legal in any USPSA or IDPA Multi-gun rules? And is this ideal for fast reloading since you'll just have to pull up the mag (if the holder is in an angle, let's say 45 degree forward) straight to the mag well of your AR?

Legal as far as I know in USPSA and all Outlaw matches. It is a method that one of the two Miller brothers uses to good effect. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthyBlagga Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Nothing inherently wrong with this approach if it works for you. A lot depends on the mag holders you prefer, the size of the mag and your hands. My only concern would be the risk of damaging and/or fouling the exposed magazine lips/ammo when shooting prone - the dirt around here has a knack of finding its way into EVERY orifice .

Patrick Except it practically invites people to try to knock cartridges out of your magazine when you are not looking. Not than I would ever do that to Eric.

coulter6 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I've always put the bullets down, facing the front. Like what's been said already, exposed bullets and mag lips may cause problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I found for a fast reload the 20round mag loads quicker for me than a 30. Bullets forward, it indexes just like a pistol mag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sako92S Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I carry my rifle mags vertical bullets facing down to ground. One holder on back and one in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wideerhunter Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 As noted early, the problem could be with crap getting into the mag and possibly bending the lips. Down here in Texas, the wind really gets going and even with having my spare mag facing down, I have to really clean it out after every match. With lips up, I could see getting so much crap in there having issues even during the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddox Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I always carry mine facing down and to the rear. Grip half way down the magazine. Everyone has there own way that works for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urikagold Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I carry mine horizontally in the smalll of my back. Bullets in curve down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
