[QUOTE="technetium-99m, post: 1476484, member: 3615"] Look at point 21.7 of Appendix D4, page 80 of the rulebook. It specifically allows non OEM mags and basepads. As far as I know this is the only place stuff like this is defined. I haven't seen a letter from John A. or anything else from NROI about using longer OEM mags in shorter guns, but I would think at a major match you would be setting yourself up for a problem and a visit to the arb. committee unless there's been a ruling. There is specific language in the rule book about weighted magazines and extended basepads being illegal along with any external modifications. Just looking at a 17/34 mag in a 19 you in theory have a bigger basepad than OEM and the mag weighs more which are both no no's. Even though it still fits the box, probably makes weight, and there isn't a capacity advantage. Before taking that setup to any kind of major match you should put a good bit of effort into making sure it's legal. I think there is a ruling in IDPA that states it's okay, and a ruling for IPSC that says it isn't, I'm just not sure about USPSA. Now that everything is as clear as dog doo no one will care at a local match, bring it out and blast away. If anyone knows about a ruling here from NROI please share it, love to know what Amidon says, just don't care enough to ask. [/QUOTE]
