    I thought IDPA was about..

    When I carry concealed I usually use IWB. But I usually use OWB for IDPA. There are still many things that you can learn and practice despite using a different holster. The holster is different for the draw and first shot in a string of fire - 3 to 31 shots. Most of the shooting is focused on...

    How many rounds do you shoot per range session?

    Depends on several things, like time since last trip to the range, whether I'm trying to develop a new skill or just skill maintenance, drilling for accuracy or for speed, testing adjustments to grip/stance/gun, brushing up for an IDPA meet, .... But usually, I'll try to get to the range...

    sold my g19 gen4..now i want a g26..

    There are quite a few threads on the ejections issues that have plagued some of the late model (> 2010) Gen 3 and Gen 4 Glocks (mostly 9mm?). It sounds like a fix via a well respected, third party gunsmith may be available soon. G26 is nice. Have you considered the HK P2000 and/or P2000sk...

    how do i get started teaching a weapons training class?

    I'm not an instructor; in fact quite the opposite. I'm probably one who has benefited from countless hours of free instruction. I think one point made above deserves some distinction. Often times, it's not enough to be knowledgeable. You can be an expert in the field. But if you can't...

    What % gain from +p to +p+

    Good to know; works for me. So, I'll assume that my current stock of Speer GDHP 124gr will work okay (sufficient velocity and expansion) out of my 3.25" barrel out to reasonable distances (<15 yards). If I'm not making a good assumption, please let me know. The next case I buy, I'll consider...

    What % gain from +p to +p+

    Thanks for the rule of thumb. And also the link - lots of info to study later. I'm pragmatic. How do you find the effective operating velocity range for a given bullet? I'll go back and check the specs for Speer GDHP but I don't remember any suggestive of velocity range. I agree that's the key.

    What % gain from +p to +p+

    Hi guys, I get the speed difference. But is there a way to extrapolate what the numbers would be for different barrel lengths? For example, if I look up the specs for Speer GD 9mm 124gr, I get some number assuming a 4" barrel. But what if I wanted to know numbers for a 3" or 5" barrel...
