New Guidelines for Rules Forum

Due to incessant bickering typical of the Rules Forum, we've (Admin/Moderators) come close to deleting the Rules Forum altogether. (Several times.) We've decided to keep it (by a narrow margin), however, with this stipulation:

No antagonistic tones will be tolerated.

Please post respectfully or don't post at all.

Threads or posts not following this spirit will be locked or deleted, and offenders will be warned or banned from posting.
Please, for the life of the Rules Forum and the constructive input gained from it, participate appropriately.
Thank you,
benos

I think I know the answer to this but just to be sure...

Unless the course instructions specify slide forward, hammer down can I start an "empty gun" stage with the hammer back? Just a little easier to rack the slide.

If the answer is no I guess I'll have to perfect the "ninja style" rack. Ha!!

You guessed it. 99% of the time you will not be allowed to start hammer-back.

Rule 8.1.3 covers your scenario.
