Delta66 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Can you angle your magazine pouches in the USPSA production division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBunniFuFu Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Yes, as long as they are behind the hip bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nahanshew89 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) Along that line of thought, if they are angled forward with the base pad up, does the base pad need to be being the hip bone, or just the pouch? For the record, I just put the base pad behind, just to be on the safe side, but if I can get away with it, why wouldn't I?

Delta66 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Could they make the rule book any more confusing? Preparing for your first match is like repeatedly poking yourself in the eye with a stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJones Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Why would you want your mags angled forward? It's faster/more consistent with them angled back slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Angle front ones back and rear ones forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Nahanshew: All parts of the magazine and the carrier (and the holster and gun on the strong hand side) need to be behind a vertical plane that touches the forward point of each hip. I believe that was a clarification made in a recent NROI column in Front Sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nahanshew89 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Fantastic. Thanks for clarification, I don't have the front sight subscription, so I missed that. Next renewal I'll be subscribing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZinZA Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I angle the pouches at the same angle my arm makes when grabbing the mag out of it. That way the wrist is straight and you only pull up on the mag, along the line of your arm, not at an angle Sent by Jedi mind control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoadMakeReady Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I have tried the angle method several different ways . bullets out angled rearward , bullets forward angled rear with the last 2 pouches either straight up or angled forward slightly and for me with how I grab mags bullets out and angled forward is awesome . You can strip mags from pouches really fast and at least for me it's very comfortable than the traditional setup . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
