After reading the IDPA rule book on the requirements for SSP, ESP, and CDP, it looks to me like a .45 caliber Glock 30 can qualify for all 3. In SSP and ESP, I could load magazines to the maximum 10 round capacity and begin each string with 10 +1 in the chamber. However, it is a pain to have to use one round from another mag just to get that +1 in the chamber.
I could also shoot in CDP by loading only 8 rounds per mag. Starting off with 9 in the first mag satisfies the 8 +1 requirement easily.
So my question is, which classification would be best? Any advantage or disadvantage for any of them?
