vantage over the averageshooter. Personally, I have noproblem with you limiting therounds fired to six rounds andlet the revolver people have anequal chance.In the public eye, it is not agood idea to continue as we are.Our style of shooting is calledpractical, but it is not practicalto allow competition with a mechanicaladvantage that cannotbe acquired by all shooters.William E. Perry, A-34693• HI-CAP MAGAZINES 2When I decided to purchasea new pistol this year specificallyfor IPSC competition Ichose a high capacity .45 knowingfull well the difficulties involvedwith acquiring the necessarymagazines. I went to thetrouble and expense becausehigh-capacity magazines aremore practical, not having tomake as many magazinechanges is an advantage. I havebeen reading letters in FrontSight criticizing the currentrules in regard to magazine capacity.I think what these peoplehave failed to consider isthat there is already a systemin place to account for differencesin marksmanship, age,athletic ability, as well asmagazine capacity; it is theclassification system. Thissport evolved from an attemptto "find out what equipmentand what techniques work bestfor self defense through organizedcompetition." (Jeff Cooper)I can tell you right now high-capacitymagazines work thebest. I feel it is a grave mistaketo attempt to reduce all shootersto the lowest common denominator.Certain equipmenthas advantages in some situations,so be it. Let's keep itpractical by not putting unnecessaryconstraints on equipmentor stage design.Robert Mc-Bride, A-34340• HI-CAP AND SANDBAG-GINGI wish to put my "two centsworth" into two of the currenttopics being discussed in thepages of Front Sight.High Capacity vs. SingleStack Magazines—Though anormal-sized adult male, I lostpart of the tip of my trigger finger.This has resulted in givingme the effective grip of a petite4-foot-7-inch woman. Shootinga single-stack pistol that hasbeen cut up, "slim-lined" andotherwise modified allows thepistol to point where I want it.If I try to use a wide-body hicappistol, I must cant the pistolin order to reach the triggerand it will point somewhat tothe right of Rush Limbaugh.However, I do not want to see"separate but equal" classes orcategories for us single-stackfolks.
