John Baier Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I was just about to order some wilson mags off of BE.com and thought I should check with fellow BE'ers first. I have a 40 cal single stack that I would love to use in Gary's new divsion. The problem is that the rules say 8 round Mag capacity at start signal. And I'm worried that the wilson mags that brian sells won't be legal being that they'll hold 9 rounds. Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinney Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I'd imagine, as long as they are the fit flush std 1911 mag length mag (not the extended length mags), and are downloaded to 8, you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Baier Posted October 1, 2005 Author Share Posted October 1, 2005 That was my thinking too. But it's always best to check first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopalong Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 If my poor memeory serves me right. Mag capacity for different calibers is different.(Check USPSA Website) .45 = 8 .40/38super=9 9mm=9? Would look but too tired and am going to bed, gonna go deer hunting in the morning and need my beauty sleep. HOP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caspian_45 Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Just load 8 in the mag and you will be fine. Now if you want to load all 9 rounds, I think you can declare minor and get that extra bullet. Yes I know it's not about capacity but.... until course designers play by the rules, standing reloads suck. Gary should be along shortly to set us straight. O' Mister Overlay............

BritinUSA Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Mag capacity is based on Power Factor... Maximum Magazine Capacity at start signal: Major power factor 8 Minor power factor 10 Single Stack rules... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyb Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Why's it called "single-stack" division when you can't shoot ANY single-stack, only a 1911? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Why's it called "single-stack" division when you can't shoot ANY single-stack, only a 1911? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Simple answer.....There is ONLY one single stack! The 1911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfinney Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Why's it called "single-stack" division when you can't shoot ANY single-stack, only a 1911? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually the official name is "Single Stack 1911 Division" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Does this: Pistols produced with attachment points for external lights or optics are not permitted. preclude SIG GSR 1911's ? I'm assuming yes, just making sure... and wondering why the rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very closely matches Single Stack Classic rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampleworks Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 The rule is so that someone can't put a long heavy dust cover on a gun, chop a few cuts in it and call it an "accessory rail". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman33_99 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I am just curious as to what most of you believe "standard length" to mean. Is it a standard 8 round 1911 45 ACP magazine length or is it the standard length of magazine supplied with the pistol? This is one place IMO that the rule is a little ambiguquous. It clearly gives rounds in the mag. It clearly says fit in the box. Those are easly defined and enforced. The standard length mag I believe is fuzzy at best. Some may want to play with their compact 45 ACP 1911 carry gun (me ) and "standard magazine for that gun is 6 rounds. Must I use the "standard" 6 round magazine for my compact 1911 or can I use "standard" Wilson or CM 8 round magazines? Both would fit in the box and both would meet the round count requirement.

Gary Stevens Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Standard length in this context applies to a full size government model 1911 that we all know and love. If you want to stuff a Wilson 8 round mag in your pocket rocket and have fun, by all means go for it. As long as it fits in the box and you maintain the maximum numbers of rounds in the mag as it applies to major/minor you are in good shape.

heebs Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Since I don't have a "box" to fit it in, are S&A magwells ok or do they make the gun "too big". Also, while we are at this, how about the magazine bumper pads. Do they make the gun too big? Never shot the SS Classic. What is the ruling here?

Gary Stevens Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 The SA magwell is fine. A base pad such as the Wilson (either size) is not a problem, although there might be a base pad out there somewhere that is too long. The box is 225mmx150mmx45mm if you want to make one. Also if you have access to an IDPA box, it is slightly smaller, so if your gun will fit in the IDPA box, it is good to go in the IPSC box.
