CO mag angle

Magazines placement must be behind hips, but can they be at different angles? I notice that production magazines are straight up and down and the same angle. I use 20 round magazines so I only carry 2 magazines, but I would like to adjust the magazine to a better angle.

What angle would you be thinking?  Tilted to the back?  

 

I'm not sure yet. They are straight up right now, but my arm feels like it's at a weird angle to to grab the magazine.

They are straight up and down to save space to get more mags on the belt. Production shooters go thru a lot of mags. You can angle them as said, but economy of motion is your friend.

Most stages, you'll start loaded and reload 3 times. If mags #4, 5 &6 are further back to optimize 1-3 that's a trade-off I'll make all day.c7f9d8ba1c3245dc2ff911c390c2ae7f.jpg

It is the front of the hip bone, right?  Most CRO/ROs look at the top  mag holder not the bottom of the mag holder?

 

I assure you most national-level CRO/RO's are wise to angled mag pouches and will look at the furthest-forward point, wherever it is.

I agree with you, on the other hand I have seen a lot get away with it at Nationals.
