| I shoot idpa and was told my safariland 074 mag holder was illegal anyone know? |

That mag holder sure looks like it is a concealment type. IDPA has some rule about daylight between the holster and gunbelt. I dont know if that applies to magazine pouches as well. From the Pics on the manuf web. I cant see anything wrong. Did they tell you why? ETA from the 2005 IDPA rule book pg 36 Magazine carrier must: A. Be designed for concealed carry and suitable for all day continuous wear. B. Be worn on a standard belt of no more than 1 ¾” width that must pass through the belt loops on the shooter’s pants. C. Hold the magazine with enough tension to allow it to be turned upside down and retain a fully loaded magazine. D. Cover 2” of the magazine as measured from the top of the cartridge rim down the back flat of the magazine tube. E. Cover the entire front face of the portion of the magazine inside the carrier. The front face is defined as the side of the tube away from the shooter’s body. F. Hold the magazine within 10 degrees of vertical (80-100° to the ground) position on the belt, no substantial forward or rear cant. G. Be worn in a belt location that will position the front edge of the carrier behind the centerline of the body. link:www.idpa.com/Documents/IDPARuleBook2005.pdf |

it should be legal (i've always thought it was) so i did a re-check, got this: www.brianenos.com/store/safariland.conceal.html |
 Per the rules the magazine can't be open in the front face. That pic is of the front face per IDPA defention. I can nothing in the rules that state the magazine pouch must wrap fully around the magizne. All I can find is the front face cant be opened. I'd send an Email off to IDPA for there ruling on the magazine holder. Also DL the Rule book you see what type of magazine is a no-go. Magazine carrier must: A. Be designed for concealed carry and suitable for all day continuous wear. GO B. Be worn on a standard belt of no more than 1 ¾” width that must pass through the belt loops on the shooter’s pants. GO C. Hold the magazine with enough tension to allow it to be turned upside down and retain a fully loaded magazine. Tension is adjustable GO D. Cover 2” of the magazine as measured from the top of the cartridge rim down the back flat of the magazine tube. Kind of hard to measure a picture. unkown E. Cover the entire front face of the portion of the magazine inside the carrier. The front face is defined as the side of the tube away from the shooter’s body. it does. F. Hold the magazine within 10 degrees of vertical (80-100° to the ground) position on the belt, no substantial forward or rear cant. go G. Be worn in a belt location that will position the front edge of the carrier behind the centerline of the body. go. |
