My std para was a better gun than my STI mainly cause it held 19+1 and would still easily fit the "box" where my STI was 17+1 and was wedged into tbe "box"
At the std champs one the start position was gun in box, mag in gun but not round in chamber. On signal remove gun from box load chamber and start shooting. There was a lot of cursing by a few of us trying to unwedge gun from box in a hurry
