johnny1gun Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 This is driving me crazy.Are the Pro mag pouces from Blade Tech the ones with the cut outs in the front of them for better indexing legal for IDPA or not.I thought they were not.Then someone at a USPSA match said they were.Some help the ignorant,and confused.PLEASE!!!!!!!

Steve Koski Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 You mean this one: http://www.blade-tech.com/Pro-Series-Competiton-Single-Mag-Pouch-pr-1178.html I dunno. Here is the rule: Magazine carrier must: A. Be designed for concealed carry and suitable for all day continuous wear. B. Be worn on a standard belt of no more than 1 ¾” width that must pass through the belt loops on the shooter’s pants. C. Hold the magazine with enough tension to allow it to be turned upside down and retain a fully loaded magazine. D. Cover 2” of the magazine as measured from the top of the cartridge rim down the back flat of the magazine tube. E. Cover the entire front face of the portion of the magazine inside the carrier. The front face is defined as the side of the tube away from the shooter’s body. F. Hold the magazine within 10 degrees of vertical (80-100° to the ground) position on the belt, no substantial forward or rear cant. G. Be worn in a belt location that will position the front edge of the carrier behind the centerline of the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddox Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 E. Cover the entire front face of the portion of the magazine inside the carrier. The front face is defined as the side of the tube away from the shooter’s body. The way I am reading it, the cut out (being the side where I would put my index finger)is not the "front" on the bladetech linked above. With that being said I could be reading it wrong.

Steve Koski Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 It almost covers the entire "front face" of the magazine, not quite. It doesn't appear (to me) to be designed for concealed carry and suitable for all day continuous wear. Just my $.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddox Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I went back and looked at the cut after you relpied. You are correct. There is a small area on the "front" that is exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that being said I am quessing it does not meet the requiered rules.It meets all the rules except that one being the front face must be coverd.That cut out is the end game to this question enless someone knows better than what Im reading.

GmanCdp Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) IF the whole mag sets in at 2" deep,then i say it would be legal.. D. Cover 2 of the magazine as measured from the top of the cartridge rim down the back flat of the magazine tube. E. Cover the entire front face of the portion of the magazine inside the carrier. The front face is defined as the side of the tube away from the shooters body. away.. i take that as the outer side away from the body not the front or back side ,as long as the mag sets 2" deep in the holder..just thinkin.... i have some of the older ready tactical 1911 pouch with the cut away from the shooter,some thing like this M14/FAL pouch,and used them until the rule was changed..http://www.skdtac.com/Ready_Tactical_M14_FAL_Mag_Pouch_p/rdt.111.htm Edited June 20, 2011 by GmanCdp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 the front cut comes around to the side, so is the part away from the shooter, and the mag only sits in the pouch 1.75 deep (sti model) to the bottom of that slot, so I would say it doenst comply with the written rule, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I would think not legal because of the cant angle...but the 3/4" gap rule regarding holsters is not present in the magazine carrier section of the rule book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegot38 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Guys: For whatever it is worth, I have 2 leather angled mags from Wilson that have a very slight cutout for the finger to index. They are not as deep as these though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny1gun Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 So I need to measure the part of the mag that has the cut out in the front.The part facing away from me.If its 2in or more than its legal.As far as the cant.It can be adjusted so as it is vertical.I'll let you know what i measure.

johnny1gun Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 Joe4D is right the part of the mag faceing away from me is 1.75in.I will just have to use my double mag poutch just to be safe.Have a couple of months befor state to practice with it.

twodownzero Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I suspect that they're not legal, just because they say "Competition speed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
