I was reading on another forum that IDPA will change rules to allow appendix carry
15 SHOTS in SSP, 10 (from 8) in CC.

I have not found any factual truth yet. Could be a rumor or fantasy. Anyone have anything concrete ref the above?
 
They’d have to change division mag capacity for all the other divisions to do that.

I think the reason we’ve got the ten round max division capacity rule is for those states that only allow 10 round mags. I could see IDPA making appendix carry legal, but I don’t think the mag/division capacity rules will change.

It appears that Joyce and Kitty have lost their minds. Bless their hearts.
 
Every change they've making is good. They're finally listening.
Now if they'd change the scoring back to .5 point /sec, it would be the best rulebook in action pistol.
 
Surprised they didn't allow 38 super carry at matches...
:):)🤣🤣🤣
 
The new division capacity round counts per mag seem nonsensical to me.



Next thing you know they’ll tell us we have to stop wearing our tactical vests! :p

Bumping Ccp up to 10 was probably the result if Sig p365 effect. These micro blasters carrying 10 rounds plus makes sense to move that.
The 15 round limit on Ssp will grow the sport. I can't tell you how many people I know who skip idpa because they think that downloading their Glock to 10 is pointless.
They're getting over on USPSA with this move.

But ESP still 10? I’m sure there’s a reason, but I haven't a clue what it is.

And you can now re-engage strong hand, or support hand targets freestyle?

It took me these past five years to learn the rules after the 2017 overhaul.

I’m gonna find another outdoor sport where I can keep up with rules.

Maybe putt-putt.

I shoot production in USPSA and SSP in IDPA, and load 10 in both games. It's easy, just make sure you carry 4 spare mags in USPSA for those extra long stages.

Are those pointless glock people going to USPSA and then not shooting in production because they can't manage to master the reload over there either?

I guess the qualifiers don't require more than what, 5 per string? So divisions will still be consistent across free and restricted states.

I suspect this is going to change stage design; so many seem to game right up to that 11 round starting capacity forcing an in-opportune reload because it's a challenge.

When I was designing stages, which I retired from, I would only take into consideration 10 round an 8 round mag capacities when and where it impacted reloads right before something like engaging a pepper popper that was required to activate a moving target and try to design it so folks shooting CCP and CDP, and/ or SSP and ESP wouldn't run dry right in the middle of it and be down ten seconds for two misses because they ran dry and couldn’t engage the moving target.

Some shoot limited minor, some limited major, many shoot Carry Optics. And then again many.woykd never shoot competition...can't let that ego be challenged.

That’s great w AIWB allowed i will finally try to get involved in IDPA. It’s the only method of concealed carry I use and never felt like getting other gear or F’ing with my skills just to play in IDPA. Super cool news 😎

I might start designing stages, or at least picking stages from the database. But instead of division capacity, for SSP I'll use 10+1 in the first mag, then 10 in all other mags. Just for auld lang syne, or deja vu.

I wonder why they decided on 15 rounds for SSP. Most of my full size guns hold 17 or more. Even the P320 Carry holds 17 rounds, and you have to go down to the compact size to get to 15 round mags.

I also wonder why they didn't get rid of the ridiculous rule against dropping loaded mags. If we're going to simulate actual gun fights, who would give a crap whether they stowed a mag during a "reload with retention" if enough bad guys were left to fight that you needed to make sure you were topped off?

I hate changes like this. These rule changes are almost as bad as adding designated hitter to the National League, which they did starting this year.
 
The new AIWB rules make IDPA a viable sport again for me. I can compete with my carry guns exactly how I carry them and in a division where they are genuinely competitive. June cannot come fast enough.

I can’t even shoot a medium frame .38 revolver in USPSA. Doesn’t make power factor, and if it did, I’d need 75 speedloaders or moonclips to run a field course.

Plus, ammo prices being what they are, shooting shorter stages won’t be all that awful.
