Reload from pocket

[dmshozer1]

At the make ready, can you load a mag from a pocket?

[GrumpyOne]

I believe yes.

[motosapiens]

Yes, absolutely, in any division.

[Rnlinebacker]

yes only after the buzzer can you not load a mag from FRONT pocket if shooting production and I think single stack

Make ready mags can be anywhere. After the buzzer reloads must be wherever division mandates.

Look it up! USPSA rulebook 5.2.4 spells it out in black and white

5.2.4

During the course of fire, after the start signal, unless stipulated

otherwise in the stage procedure, spare ammunition, magazines and/or

speed loading devices shall be carried in retention devices attached to

the competitor's belt and specifically designed for that purpose. Unless

specifically prohibited in the Written Stage Briefing, a competitor may

also carry additional magazines or speed loading devices in apparel

pocket(s) and retrieve and use them, providing that the location of the

apparel pocket does not violate the requirements of Appendix D, Item

12 (subject to the provisions of Rule 6.2.5.1).

Should the division restrict the location of the magazines or speed

loading devices, carrying them in apparel pocket(s) forward of the

restriction point will be allowed providing they are not removed from

the apparel pocket(s) between the “standby” command and the

command “ if clear, hammer down and holster”.

(e.g.– a magazine may be retrieved from a front pocket to facilitate loading before the start signal or while unloading at the end of a COF without penalty).

When stipulations in the WSB require placement of magazines or speed

loaders on a table or similar location and not in the retention devices

prior to the start signal, retrieving them and using them from the hand is

allowed. Further, spare ammunition, magazines and/or speed loading

devices carried in the hand after the start signal are not subject to the

equipment position restrictions of Appendix D, Item 12, as long as they

remain in the hand.
