IDPA: Pulling back hammer in DA/SA semi-auto out of the holster?

[David E]

It all depends on the level of competition you're competing at.

Ernie Langdon used a DA/SA Sig 220 to beat all SA shooters, including Rob Leatham at an IDPA Nationals.

Ben Stoeger used a DA/SA Beretta to win the USPSA Nationals, which Langdon had also done a few years before.

Beating the best shooters in the world is a pretty high level of competition.

So yesterday (Sunday) I shot IDPA using my P220 in CDP.

I don't believe I was hampered in any way with a DA first shot against the 1911 guys. They still have to flip off the safety!

Don't be afraid of DA!

I presume you won the division. How far away was Second place?

On a side note, the 1911 safety, done right, doesn't slow anything down.

Of course, the DA pull, done right, doesn't either.

LOL I highly doubt I won. But I don't think I brought up the rear either. I'm unclassified in CDP anyway.

And these are the facts that still seem on confound a lot of people.

I just spent a day with Mickey Fowler , likely best know for his accomplishments with the 1911, learning to shoot the Bianchi Mover. He said that using a DA/SA SIG X-Five Allaround last year at the Bianchi Cup didn't make a wit of difference on the mover
