71Commander Posted January 24 Magazines are allowed to be coupled end to end in PCC, just not side by side. If there are two separate mags coupled butt to butt with a rubber sleeve, both having different base plates, can you do a eject then do a 180 and insert the other coupled mag as part of the mandatory reload?

PatJones Posted January 24 No.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"D8, item 12, specifically states, "Magazines must be carried on the belt or in apparel pockets. See rule 5.2.4. No restriction on location on the belt. No thigh rigs or tie down magazine holders." Carrying a magazine in other places is not allowed.D8 also says "No side-by-side magazine couplers allowed. End-to-end coupling/extension is allowed." It reads end to end coupling/extension, not end to end coupling or extension. There are mag extensions that use a second mag body, this is allowed.Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge Posted January 24 I’ve always been taught that “/“ basically means and/or. I would say as written mags op described would be legal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HCH Posted January 24 I think Pat’s got it. One of the handguard mag holders would fall in the same arena IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's alluding to a coupler that makes one long magazine out of two mags. I'm talking about two separate mags that are butt to butt. Does the reload mag have to come from a pouch?

MemphisMechanic Posted January 24 Hell. If legal... I’d enjoy letting you do it and pretend that it’s anywhere near as fast as it will be coming from the belt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the coupler your spare magazine would not be “carried” on the belt or pocket. Just like Pat wrote. Edited January 24 by HCH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt1911 Posted January 25 I wouldn't even bother with it. When you're hitting the mag release, you should already have your support hand pulling the other mag from the pouch and moving towards the magwell for the reload. It should be much faster than taking the mag out and flipping it, then hoping your hand corresponds correctly to align and get a solid seat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never put mags in a pouch shooting PCC... why reload when you have 48 rounds Item 12 seems pretty cut and dried to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HCH Posted January 25 (edited) 3 hours ago, 71Commander said: Mandatory reload. Yeah... it was a joke. It comes down to this: coupled, separate mags are not allowed. Mags that are to be used on a stage are to be carried on the belt or pocket (unless otherwise stated in the WSB). If you have two distinct mags butt-to-butt, you are carrying one that is not in a mag pouch or pocket, and a coupled mag. The adapters that make one mag body act as an extension are allowed because they make one functional magazine. Edited January 25 by HCH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shred Posted January 27 PCC shooters aren't the first ones to think of this. Open dudes with big sticks that stick out have thought of it too... and been shot down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chuckie45 Posted March 3 "D8 also says "No side-by-side magazine couplers allowed. End-to-end coupling/extension is allowed." It reads end to end coupling/extension, not end to end coupling or extension. There are mag extensions that use a second mag body, this is allowed." I got to agree with PatJones on this one. Intent of this rule to allow you to create an extended mag, not connect two separate mags. Wording could be clearer though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a side note, and not to hijack the thread, anyone thinking of shooting the World Shoot PCC championship next year should note: IPSC rules do restrict magazine capacity (along with some other differences.) If you have no interest in the world championship, cool ... Don't worry about it! If you're considering it, you may want to review the differences so you're not surprised.
