ISPC Versus USPSA SS

Recommended Posts

What do I need to know before I go from shooting USPSA in SS to IPSC also with a SS rig.

I'm using a Trojan with Dawson ice magwell and Tripp corey mags.

Any weird rules I should know? It looks like you have to stay within the confines of the shooting area while on the clock?

Thank for the help. Considering shooting the IPSC nationals.

Your magwell is way too big

The holster restrictions are much looser in IPSC than USPSA.

No sight pictures

No walking stages until your squad is up

Yes running outside the fault lines gets ugly

Some other little stuff but not much.

Lots more short very technical stages. Get your timing down on movers. You will probably see multiple 8 round stages with multiple moving targets.

I assume that you will be competing in Classic Division, so please check that your gun is approved, if you have done any mods to tit. I think the guys in the 1911 forum can hep you there, or even better the GV forum (which is more or less the IPSC forum)

Going from USPSA Single Stack to IPSC Classic.

What get's easier?

- no weight limit

- relaxed holster rules

- magnets allowed

What get's harder:

- width restriction on mag well

- smaller box (you may have to trim your bumper pads)

- higher power factor required for Major

This - don't forget to chrono your rounds if you are shooting major.

Based on recent threads, I would say don't forget to chrono, major OR minor ;)

A violation of 2.2.1.5, leaving the shooting area, can be very costly.

Single stack mag wells 35 mm max width.

Butt of gun can not be lower than belt.

Nothing forward of hip bones.

Equipment inspection is done at every stage.

Equipment inspection is done at every stage.

Note for IPSC your equipment only has to comply from the start signal, not load and make ready.

"6.2.5.1 A competitor who fails to satisfy the equipment or other requirements of a declared Division after

the Start Signal, will be placed in Open Division, if available, otherwise the competitor’s scores

will not be entered into match results. Competitors already registered in Open Division who fail to

comply with the requirements of Open Division after the Start Signal will not have their scores

entered into match results."
