Maybe I am just over thinking this with a case of pre "big match" jitters but I have seen three ways to clear and place your 1911 so you can move on to the next gun in that stage. I've read and reread the rules and know when moving on to the next gun in a stage your 1911 must be placed on the stage table, pointing down range, with the slide locked back. When shooting a stage where it is necessary to shoot knock down targets and the targets must go down, im assuming that you can engage those targets until they all go down or you run out of ammo.
My question is, if you load an extra magazine to do this and you knock all the targets down but still have one or more live rounds in the gun, can you or do you,
A. Manually eject all remaining bullets and lock the slide back?
B . Drop the magazine then eject the round in the chamber and manually lock the slide back?
C. Safely discharge the remaining rounds down range, let the slide lock back on its own and move on?
D. Any of the above?
I have seen all of these things done at different local matches but have never been clear as to if they are all legal.
Thanks in advance, Will Lynchem.
