With shotguns in 3-gun the biggest issues are loading, as discussed above, and jamming. Since you are running a pump, you should be pretty well off on the later. Rack it HARD!
With handguns be sure you have enough mags with you. Depending on the club, there can be a lot of shots with plentiful...
Yes, excessive slide racking is very distracting. Firstly, why are all these police and bad guys so often carrying with an empty chamber and secondly, it doesn't have to be racked each time you are about to walk through a doorway or say something dramatic! (sometimes, without shots being fired...
Definitely call ahead, as clubs will vary a lot in that respect.
I love having a .22 conversion for a carry gun. I carry a G19 and have a .22 conversion for my G17 and love being able to get some practice in with .22. I haven't had to resort to using it at matches yet, but it's nice to have the...
Yes, many local IDPA matches are very permissive with guns that don't fit the regular divisions. Many have been allowing 22lr for all shooters this year since ammo has been hard to come by. At our club we call it the NFC (not for competition) division and is the catch-all for those that don't...
I believe 18 is the right age. An 18 year old should have the same access to these basic tools of self-defense as any other adult. There are people of every age who aren't 'mature' enough to properly handle a firearm. I don't like the idea of making laws for the lowest common denominator. I...
I greatly enjoy watching this thread and I feel compelled to contribute my own meager efforts. I shoot some IDPA and the occasional 2/3 gun. I help put on some of these matches our local club. I don't record that many of my stages but will try to post one here occasionally if this thread...
Nice shooting! As I'm watching this video, at about the 56 second mark, you come to a target that barely has any of the top showing above a no-shoot. That looks like a very tight shot. Is the entire A zone still visible or are you allowed to cover some of it? Where do you put your dot on a shot...
I've had one of their 16" uppers on a different brand lower for a couple years and have been happy with it. I just ordered one of their lowers last week and plan to buy one of the 7" uppers at some point.
That's great! I wish I had a P365 and lived closer! If you can draw enough people, these niche matches are a great idea. It's always fun to be together with people who are passionate about a very specific item or topic. Best of luck!
I shot a brand new M&P9c 2.0 with the 4" barrel and manual safety yesterday. It's a gun my son is going to use for range time and IDPA. We're very happy with it. I shoot and carry a G17 and an XDM Compact regularly. I like them all! The worst part about the M&P was buying a few extra...
8.1.5 Loading Device Count
A. A “loading device” is a magazine, speed loader, or moon clip.
B. Shooters starting with 8 or more rounds in all loading devices are allowed to start with the loaded firearm plus two additional loading devices.
C. Shooters starting with 6 or 7 rounds in all...
Interesting take. I actually think his second point (concerning difficulty) carries more weight than the first (concerning stage planning), which he spent most of his time on.
I think the IDPA argument against the USPSA style of stage planning is that it encourages bad planning rather than...
8.1.3 Magazine Loading:All magazines must be loaded to division capacity at the start signal throughout the match except in the following cases: A. If a magazine is used that holds less than division capacity, the shooter will load all magazines to the capacity of the lowest magazine throughout...
