1911vm Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I cannot get a straight answer. I understood that in the he-man division you need to use a single stack .45 is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyLtd Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 The rule seems to vary a little from match to match but is usually 44 caliber or larger and limited to 10 rounds at the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Anderson Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Yes or a doublestack or anything else as long as no more than 10 in the mag to start. I've seen guys use STI widebodies and Glocks in .45 and .45 GAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nm3gnr Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) 1911VM, If the gun is hot holstered then you can usually go 10 in the mag and 1 in the chamber, after that then only 10 in each mag on your belt. On a start posistion that you have to retreive the firearm then load it, it will be only the 10rds that you had in the mag. Some matches are different. As far as the gun type, most rules usually state .44 or larger. Single stack or double stack gun, it does not matter. I hope this helps ! Good Luck !

Harmon Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 is the power factor 165? or is it the old 175 power factor...I think the 175 would seem fitting for the name of the event. Harmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2ipsc Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 The rule seems to vary a little from match to match but is usually 44 caliber or larger... Unfortunate - a 10mm with full-house 200gr loads would seem to definitively qualify as "He-Man" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Well you're in luck. Superstition Mtn just announced the new Heavy Metal rules. .40 cal or larger, 165 PF, and no polymer framed guns. Goodbye Glock, hello single stack 1911. Although I would imagine the folks with Caspian and Para-Ordnance limited guns are pretty happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Anderson Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Yep, that would seem to be the rule. Not real sure why, but I'm sure they don't need to worry about not filling the match either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markd Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Pardon my ignorance but I have been away from IPSC for over ten years. What is He-Man class? Is it an official division of USPSA or a division of some other shooting discipline or a subdivision of USPSA single stack or what? I'm interested!!!

Chuck Anderson Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 He-Man or Heavy Metal started in IMGA Multi Gun matches. The rules basically say, .30 cal rifle, and normally a .45 pistol with reduced (8 or 10) round mags, and a 12 ga shotgun. Some matches say pump only, others allow autos. USPSA adopted this as a Category for Multi Gun matches. This allows the match organizers to recognize Heavy Metal, Limited (most common) but they can also have Heavy Metal Open or Tactical depending on interest.
