I thought IDPA was to resemble "real world" scenarios. Sounds kind of anal being told how you have to reload or worse, having to know three types of reload techniques to appease the person who set up the CoF. What ever happen to "be really good with one technique and stick with it" or "if it looks stupid but works, it isn't stupid".
I change mags when I damn well please using a dash of common sense. It's kind of embarassing to bust into a room with 3 BGs and the gun runs dry on the second one.
I can't remember the name of the gun mag I was reading, published this month but it was written by one of the founders of IDPA and he had very little to say in favor of some of the CoFs. Sounds like the bugs still haven't been worked out.
