If I use a magazine from my front pocket to make ready, or after the unload and show clear command place the discarded magazine in my front pocket, will these actions move me to Open division?

 

 

 

 

Answer:

 

 

Production and Single Stack equipment locations are NOT intended to complicate loading before the start signal or unloading. (e.g. – a magazine may be retrieved from a front pocket to facilitate loading before the start signal or while unloading at the end of a COF without penalty).

Yep, this came out after a few Area matches, and was clarified for nationals.

 

You still can't pull a mag from your front pocket during the COF.

Ayup..I keep one 7 rounder in my back pocket to chamber from, then load a full magazine, 7 rounder goes back in the pocket, and only mags from my belt are used for the COF

As one of the CJ match directors I can guarantee you you will never see Amidon's idiotic ruling enforced while I'm in charge unless you have come up with some means of reloading form your front pocket that provides a competitive advantage.
