Just wanted to get an answer to see if it's IPSC legal or not to use a drop leg mag pouch for IPSC shotgun so long as the rig is connected to the belt?
Thanks
 
This is the rule that I think applies.
"must be worn at waist level"

However I am not a CRO.

5.2.3 Unless otherwise specified in the written stage briefing the competitor’s equipment belt carrying cartridges (in caddies, loops, clips, bags or pouches) and/or detachable magazines and/or speed loaders must be worn at waist level. "Chest-rigs", bandoliers and similar carriers are expressly prohibited. Additional ammunition carriers mounted on forearms are permitted provided that cartridges are carried individually in loops or clips.
5.2.3.1 Not applicable.
5.2.3.2 Only one equipment carrying belt is permitted. Cartridges held in loops or clips on the belt are restricted to a maximum of 170 mm total height. Rounds carried in caddies (often known as "strippers") must not exceed 6 rounds in height.
5.2.3.3 The Range Master may make allowances for variations to Rule 5.2.3 due to anatomical considerations. The Range Master's decision on conformity to Rule 5.2.3 is final.
 
That's kind what I understood as well but wasn't 100% sure. Wasn't sure if the leg rig being connected to the belt via the strap would still be ok. Just looking to get a clear answer before nationals.
 
I think it would depend on how low your drop-leg is set up.

There's nothing in the rules prohibiting an anchor point on your leg.
But it does say that your magazines need to be "at waist level".

If the tops of your magazines are above your belt; I would say it's okay.
But if your magazines are entirely below your belt; I would say it's not okay.

That's just my interpretation. Others may agree or disagree.

Actually the rule specifies the belt must be worn at waist level...it doesn’t specify where the mags / mag pouches must sit in relation to the waist.
