    Gun to leave in the garage?

    That's exactly what a criminal is hoping you would think. If you think about it, why would criminals target houses/victims in the hood. They are likely to fight for their life for anything of significant value and least likely to have anything of value to begin with worth robbing. Fact...

    Rifle/Pistol Leagues in Western WA?

    We shoot IDPA every 3rd saturday of the month down at Renton Fish and Game club. Very good group of guys, friendly to new shooters. Sams Club in Everett has an action pistol shoot every Friday I believe at 6 or 7pm at night. And Black Diamond will be starting IDPA every Monday evening as well...

    How do YOU test ammo cans?

    what about just using a bottle of water? A cup of water, with the container turned up side down will tell you rite away and it's easy to bring and will not stain and is easy to clean up.

    Show us a picture of your reloading bench

    This is EXACTLY the inspiration I needed to see to get me going on cleaning my garage so I can bolt down my brand new Dillon 550 and all of the new reloading equipment I just bought this weekend. Bravo! You guys have some pretty crafty set ups. Here's what I have to work with so far...

    I'm really thinking of starting to reload!

    I am essentially just half a step ahead of you too. Except my budget for reloading just went from 100 to 500 fast. I went from getting a Lee single press to buying my dillon 550 last Sunday. I still haven't set it up, will set it up soon. Still have to clean my garage.

    How clean is clean enough, after tumbling?

    That sounds like a really good idea, anyone else use the wet method?

    What's the 'classic' IDPA ESP gun?

    Well, it's hardly "classic". But the new staple I see in the ESP class would have to be the Springfield XD's. It's definately a noticeably different design gun, and from what I've seen at my club, dominates the ESP class.

    Advise for IDPA new be?

    awesome! I appreciate it 686! But the only problem is, in the past couple weeks, I bought a new IDPA rig, a Glock 17 with all the fixin's! But I did sell the gun to my cousin, who is getting into IDPA, so I'll do the fix for him. Thanks again! BTW, for those that may or may not care...

    My First Idpa

    highly suggest getting another mag holder. it "might" work, but would not be ideal, especially when your running around, taking cover to dig around in your pocket for a mag. Your going to wish you had another holder when your out there. But sure, it'll "work". You only need 3 and can only have 3...

    Advise for IDPA new be?

    BTW, I didn't do so hot the first time out. I had 60 points, and 1 FTN, for a grand total of 236. I hadn't shot in close to a year, and am just actually getting back into shooting. I just had so much going through my mind, being excited, remembering all of the safety issues, muzzle, finger...

    Advise for IDPA new be?

    My only regret is not going SOONER. If you even remotly like shooting and interested in self defense, you are going to LOVE IDPA and the comrodery associated with it. All of my friends, after seeing my pictures and hearing my stories are going to the next meet. It was like watching a good...
