As a beginner I am reviewing the new rule book (May 2001) for IDPA. Could someone please explain more clearly the tac reload?
I understand it is to top off your weapon, at the gun, have a fully loaded weapon and retain any ammo. However rule # 18 states that a reload with a round still in the chamber, slide down and abandoning any magazine = a 3 sec. penalty. What if your weapon is not shot dry.
Then in the FAQ it says No IPSC style speed re-loads (slide down with a round remaining in the chamber) are permitted in IDPA competition.
Help!!!
