kmc Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Per Appendix D5 #10, the maximum distance of handgun and mags/speed loaders from inner side of the belt is 2". Can anyone confirm the proper interpretation? Is this measured from the inner side of the belt the holster is mounted on to the inside (body) side of the gun? or the inside of the inside belt? or the outside of the gun? I've been assuming the first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 It's the first. See App. E2, p. 86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Inside of inner belt to the side of the gun against the body. I have a bladetech holster I modified as an offset non drop holster and love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmc Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 I could have sworn I saw that picture on p86 before but now could not find it. Might be time to re-read the whole thing! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 One says the inside of the inside belt, other says the inside of the outer belt - which belt is it ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nghthwk1911 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 On Page 86, if you look at the position of the Arrow and the stated measurement, it is clear that the inside belt is what is used to start the measument, NOT the outer belt.

EkuJustice Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Inner belt as shown in your rule book picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 And 2 inches offset is quite a bit I have half inch spacers in mine and am still not at the limit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigG Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) And 2 inches offset is quite a bit I have half inch spacers in mine and am still not at the limit Not if you are fat it isn't. I've seen plenty of shooter that a 2" space would be considered concealed carry even if the are wearing a jacket.

Jaxshooter Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 If you are overweight you can get an exemption on the distance the holster is away from the belt. Same is true for other problems caused by a handicap or other physical deformity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An individual in a wheel chair I can understand an exemption, but obesity?! c'mon man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Not a small guy and the half inch spacers make a big difference. It makes the gun very easy to get to no run the production holster the same offset but not dropped as I feel its easier to get to than the doh mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same is true for other problems caused by a handicap or other physical deformity. I missed that. What rule would I cite? Maybe I'm just not reading "fat" as an allowable exemption. 10.2.10 Special penalty: A competitor unable to fully execute any part of a course of fire due to incapacity or injury may, prior to making his attempt at the course of fire, request that the Range Master apply a penalty in lieu of the stated course requirement. 10.2.10.1 Exception – In a weak hand/strong hand stage, a competitor who has physical use of only one hand may use the same hand for both weak and strong without penalty. 10.2.10.2 If the request is approved by the Range Master, a minimum of one procedural penalty, up to a maximum penalty of 20% of the competitor’s points “as shot” (rounded up to the nearest whole number), will be deducted from the competitor’s score. For example, if 100 points are available in the course of fire and the competitor actually scores 90 points, the special penalty is a deduction of 18 points. The Range Master may waive any or all procedural penalties in respect of a competitor who has a significant physical disability prior to the competitor making his attempt at the course of fire.

Nik Habicht Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Mark, what about: 5.2.9 Competitors deemed by the Range Master to be significantly disabled may be given special dispensation in relation to the type and/or placement of their holster and related equipment, and the Range Master will remain the final authority in respect of the safety and suitability of using such equipment at USPSA matches.

diehli Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) How 'bout a scale, a tape measure, and a BMI calculator at chrono?
