Guys, I need a hand. I haven't shot IPSC for awhile.
What is the major/minor powerfactor cutoff number? 165?
Single Stack vs. Limited 10. If you are using a 1911, can you use a 10 round magazine, or does that put in you limited 10?

Min PF is 125 for minor and 165 for major
Single stack allows 8 round mags (plus 1 in the tube) 'flush' with the bottom of the mag well.
10 round mags you'll find in Limited 10

Um, that's not entirely true. You can't use 10 round 45 acp mags in Single stack. You can use flush mounted 9mm, 38 super that hold 10 rounds, major caliber must use 8 round or less magazines. Same rule applies for major/minor. 40 cal Single stack can make Major, 9mm, 38 super are minor even if they clock major. The rules state that minor power factor mags are limited to 10 rounds (10+1), and the gun must fit the IPSC box, Major is limited to 8 round mags (8+1) and must also fit the IPSC box. If you want all the official rules for Single stack, go to :
http://www.uspsa.org/rules/1911_Single_Stack.pdf.
Single stack must have the holster similar to production while Limited 10 has rules similar to Limited.
