Special conditions:
8.

A handgun in its ready condition (see Section 8.1), but unloaded and with an empty magazine inserted, must fit
wholly within the confines of a box which has internal dimensions of 225mm x 150mm x 45mm (tolerance of +1
mm, -0 mm). Note that all magazines must comply.

9.

The handgun is placed inside the box with the barrel parallel to the longest side of the box. Rear adjustable
sights may be slightly depressed, but all other features of the handgun, (e.g. collapsible and/or folding sights,
slide rackers, thumb rests, grips etc.), must be fully extended or deployed. Additionally, telescoping magazines
and/or magazines with spring-loaded bases or base pads are expressly prohibited.

10.

Magazines accessible to a competitor during a COF must not contain more than 15 projectiles at the Start Signal.
Additionally, magazines must not extend more than 20mm below the lowest point of the magazine well when
inserted. Violations will result in the competitor being relegated to Open Division.

11.

Only Action Air handguns listed as approved on the IPSC website may be used in this Division. Note that
handguns deemed by IPSC to be single-action-only are expressly prohibited.

12.

Handguns with external hammers must be fully decocked (see Rule 8.1.2.5), at the start signal. First shot
attempted must be double action. Competitors in this Division who, after the issuance of the start signal and
prior to attempting the first shot, cock the hammer on a handgun which has a loaded chamber, will incur one
procedural penalty per occurrence. Note that a procedural penalty will not be assessed in respect of courses of
fire where the ready condition requires the competitor to prepare the handgun with an empty chamber. In these
cases, the competitor may fire the first shot single action.
