Heckler, that is the exact upper I'm going to be running. Are you planing on coming to spruce grove this weekend?
As for LAR 10 I was using the hard plastic ranger plates but have broken 2 of them in the couple matches I've shot. Just switched the to the magpul ranger plates, hoping they hold up better. For pouches I have the blade tech thigh rig that holds 3 mags, not a big fan of chest rigs.
Already been staded in this thread and I must agree nothing tactical about this game in my eyes, its exactly that a game. Me against the timer, thankfully not a 2 way range.

Earlier it was stated that pistol carbine kits are not allowed. This is not true; at least as far as IPSC is concerned. Their forum, Global Village, provides clarity. In Canada the upside is magazine capacity, but the downside is caliber. How far do you think you will be effective with a 9mm, shot from a handgun length barrel? So, if it is all you have, use it. But ultimately you will want a dedicated rifle.

A 9mm would be good for about zero to about 100 yards. Beyond that it would be difficult to get hits on an ipsc target. This might seem awful, however do to our range realestate restrictions 99 percent of shots are engaged at 50 yards or less. This is how its been at the matches that I have seen. So run what you brung, if you have an sks well thats fine, 858, pistol carbine, whatever.
An ar is a bit more ideal as the ergonmics are there, easy to stick on an optic and 10 round mags are readily available. If you have one then thats great, if you have something else it well thats great to. I have never seen a 50,000 prize or even a 50$ prize most matches are shot for fun.

Thats a first.
lol if you want to be a SERIOUS 3 gunner with prize money ect... you are in the wrong country, yes I know there may be a couple super elite tacticool hardcore guys, but the FACT is, its just not as populous here as usa... if you want to have FUN you are gold, find a local 3 gun team ipsc or another org like WRAS, t it doesnt matter as long as it is safe...
and the guy saying lar 10 mag couplers are expensive???? they are 5.99 off questar, and the flip load is just as fast as a pouch reload, and very damn convenient especially if you like to hold the magwell instead of the grip. the long and short of it is, dont talk to us... find your local 3 gun group(s) and talk with them about what gear is allowed, and what catagory it falls into.

Well...they used to be more money. And I'll put my belt reload up against your flip reload any day....
Not too mention if you gotta go prone with one of those setups, you're likely getting a mag full of dirt.
NOOO DIRT ON MY PRECIOUS... and i bet you could load an empty mag faster then I could empty a full one... but I found its not really an issue, and I have non coupled ones I can use for prone. the main downside is if you release onto concrete or rocks your mag lips will get bent up to hell. but really, puling a mag down 4 inches, rotate 180 up 4 inches, verses dropping a mag with your hand primed on a mag on your chest/hip 14 inches from your mag well... its more about practice then which is the "uber" method, and having mags that actually FIT in your pouch cause they are coupled is a nice bonus. FYI if you are loseing lar10 mags in your pouch, its easier to put something in the bottom of the pouch, or sew it a bit shallower, to keep the lar 10 mag within easy reach then it is to glue something to the bottom of the mag itself, also better for prone.
