Definition: Tie-down rig A holster where any part is strapped or rigidly attached to a competitor’s leg. As an RO, that's how I interpret the rule. Tie down rigs are illegal.

Tie downs are most definitely illegal unless the wearer is exempt under 5.2.8 Thigh rigs are almost always illegal because they sit too low and violate 5.2.7.2, unless they are moved up to comply or wearer is exempt under 5.2.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClangClang Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Yep, tie down rigs are illegal under USPSA rules unless exempt under 5.2.8. This was known in advance and handled appropriately. 21 hours ago, outerlimits said: not only that, but right after he released the mag he sweeps his left hand. Not even remotely close, but thank you for your observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
