Thank you for the clarification Legendary Lawman.  It was a very new shooter to our club who was diligently reading the rule book because she wanted to write a WB stage for the end of our CAS match (kind of a little side match).  She wanted to tell everyone to load 8 rounds, then I said we can't do that, then she showed me the rule book, then I scratched my head and decided to get some clarification  ???.  :D

You can load and shoot 8 round mags with a flat bottom but you can only put 7 cartridges in them. ;D

 

That was my understanding but where in the SHB does it state that?  I searched the document and found nothing.

It is in the pistol requirements starting on page 4.

 

I don't think there's a reference to loading 7 rounds any more in the 2019 rule book.  The 2018 handbook said on page 7 "Magazines shall be loaded with up to seven rounds only. A shooter may load LESS

than seven rounds in a magazine.", that is pretty clear.  In the 2019 handbook there is no mention of loading magazines. 

You can load and shoot 8 round mags with a flat bottom but you can only put 7 cartridges in them. ;D

 

That was my understanding but where in the SHB does it state that?  I searched the document and found nothing. 

The sticky at the top says you can load 7 in the magazine but the 2019 handbook makes no mention of it that I can find.  So are we now free to load and shoot 8 round mags?

 

The ambassador for that region is Idaho Sixgun Sam.

I'm looking to find a RO class this summer somewhere in WA ID MT area.  Can someone point to a instructor who might be able to cover this area?  I'm planning to attend the Montana state championship, Idaho state championship, and regional in Wenatchee.  I know of a few people in eastern WA and north Idaho that would be interested.  Please send me a PM or answer here and lets get something set up.

 

Thanks,
