| Shooting tactical irons. Can you max out your pistol mag as long as the mag length is legal. XDM 19+1 to start then 19rds per mag after or are you limilted to just 10+1 like in USPSA production. |

Under most 3-gun rules there is no capacity limit in Tactical and Open divisions - only the usual magazine length limits. Heavy Metal usually has a capacity limit and caliber restriction.
In the case of your XDM, feel free to load it to 19+1 capacity. Bear in mind tough that if you are shooting under USPSA rules you will be scored Minor PF on pistol targets. No such problem with outlaw matches, of course. |

You can add a Canyon Creek extended base pad to those tiny 19 round mags and get 24 of them and still be legal in every 3 gun division. Canyon Creek Custom Extended XDM Magazine Base Pads |
