3gun pistol/rifle mag rules

Pistol- what are the magazine length restrictions for open and tactical?

Rifle- what are magazine/round limitations in open and tactical?

This is a loaded question, no pun intended. The magazine lengths are typically the same as USPSA. 140mm for ltd, tac and 170mm for open on the pistol side. Rifle is a whole different story and is usually specified by match. Rocky Mountain only allows double stacked rifle mags (so no surefire 60's) and no evenly cinched mags in ltd or tac. The Texas carbine only allows 30-round max in rifle. Most other matches allow any non-drum style magazine in tac and ltd and anything goes in open. The best bet is to make sure to review the rules for each particular match on rifle magazine requirements..

Hope this helps..
