Folks,
I have a question on reloads. Is IDPA now a slide lock only reload game? Rule below.
3.4.6 Shooters may not perform a reload which results in a magazine (or loose rounds) being left behind after there
was an unfired cartridge in the chamber, magazine, or cylinder at the time the reload was initiated. When done
intentionally, this is commonly known as a “speed reload”, but doing this unintentionally is still illegal and will
result in a Procedural Error penalty being issued.
So I am assuming that a "tactical" or "speed" reload which retains the mag with a loaded chamber and the shooter reloads while moving to the next position is not allowed anymore? I have forwarded a rules clarification to our area coordinator.
Thanks!
