5.2.7 Competitors must not be permitted to commence a course of fire wearing: 
5.2.7.1 A shoulder holster or “tie-down” rig (visible or otherwise), except 
as specified in Rule 5.2.8. 


5.2.8 allows it for full time LEOs. 

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.

The tie down is legal. Thigh rigs generally are not. 

 

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

Yep, tie down rigs are illegal under USPSA rules unless exempt under 5.2.8. This was known in advance and handled appropriately.

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.

How was it handled appropriately?  Are you full time LEO?  Just curious.
