Just a few minutes ago, U.S. Border Patrol Agent and potential 2008 NPSC champ Robert Vadasz had a bit of a scare.
He was shooting from 25 yards in the first relay of the open class semi-auto pistol 1500 when a magazine fell from his belt to the ground. Unsure of the consequence, the refs gathered in a huddle to decide his fate.
Meanwhile, Vadasz re-enacted the scene for his fellow Border Patrol team members, above.
I asked the ref if the drop constituted a foul.
"Girl, do you see any blood over there?" he asked me. "No blood, no foul."
So there you have it. As long as it's not ammunition being loaded for use during the match, a drop has no penalty.
