HOLY CRAP!
People will die and there will be blood in the streets...BUUUT I might place a little better at the matches. ;D
Seriously though...I have been asking around if anyone knows why reloading on the move would be a bad thing in regards to self defense. I understand the shooting from cover, engaging the targets in tactical priority, not dropping rounds on the ground, etc., but if I am on the move and need a reload, I don't need it later. I need it NOW. I may not be shooting on the run, but when I stop, being ready to shoot is (IMHO) paramount.
Glad to see they came around to my way of thinking.

mike_p:
Also possibly 2 new pistol divisions: compact pistol and laser/optic equipped pistol. But the elimination of the ESR division.
bullit:
Yes... I am not to keen on the two new divisions concept .... 1) The example of a Glock 19 for "compact pistol"? Really? I and a number others tend to shoot do just fine in SSP with that particular model. 2) Could the laser/optic equipped pistol be the slippery slope to the reason IDPA founders left IPSC? I understand the idea in theory but ......
Lorimor:
I like the laser concept. Makes a 442 much easier to hit with given the factory "sights."
