Honestly, unless it's at a major match where trophies are on the line, I let the rule nazis call whatever they want to call on me. Club matches are for practicing match skills to polish up for majors, anyway. In a major match, if I'm given an incorrect penalty I'll protest it, but otherwise...

The behavior described in the first post is generally outside the norm for IDPA. I've been a couple of clubs where there have been some bad apple Safety Officers, but for the most part it's fairly unusual to have a martinet screaming at you for this and that. I've been shooting IDPA since...

For NRA Action Pistol, all of the guns that you mentioned, Glock, M&P, and XD would be in AP's Production division. Dave Sevigny used a Glock to win Production in '09. The Glock has a major advantage in Production - according to NRA's rules, you can only fit adjustable sights to a gun if it...

For people out there interested in the Sig P250, I'd suggest holding off for at least a couple of months. Gun Nuts has a new webseries launching in April called Down Zero TV, Sig is one of the title sponsors and is providing a pair of Sig P250s for the duration of the show. These guns are...

Deaf, just out of curiosity, how fast can you draw and hip shoot an 8 inch circle at 7 yards? Have you ever done it against a timer to see?

There is a reason that all the top flight competition shooters, elite military, and top flight LE units all use a variation of the same stance/grip combo, the Modern Iso. What is interesting though is I find that the more I shoot, the mutable my definition of "stance" gets. My grip is always...

How big is the point of impact shift at 10 yards if you just use sight picture 2 instead of the "drive the dot" method? With most of the guns I've shot, the difference in point of impact is near as makes no difference between sight picture 2 and 3 when you're really rocking the trigger and...

I'm also interested to see how these guns hold up to 10k+ rounds. Everything I've heard about the RIA guns (and by default the STI Spartan) indicates that they're generally well made, and the action shooting community in the Philippines seems to get pretty good milage out of theirs.

Basically, yeah. If someone shoots 100-200 rounds a month, they'll likely get just as much value out of a $400 RIA as they would out of a Glock 19 (please note, I am using the Glock as an example, please insert XD, M&P, or whatever). But if you increase that round count by a factor of 10 to...

The only issue I have with the RIA is that there isn't a lot of hard data out there on them. While everything I've heard about them seems to be pretty decent, I can't think of anyone that's running them (even modded ones) in competition, so I'm not sure how they'd hold up under serious...

I do tend to think that the S&W SD9 would actually be almost the perfect "first gun" for someone looking to shoot. The cost of entry is pretty low. The reason I shy away from them is mostly because they haven't been out long enough to establish a reputation either way for reliability; and for...

This whole post and eventual series of articles is really a cost/benefit analysis. For THR, I'll try to crack my own skull open and show you how I arrived at this conclusion: A new shooter wants to shoot competitively They also want to take classes to get better at shooting Classes and...

I actually own a pair of 1911s, one semi-custom gun and one factory stock Colt XSE Rail Gun. Both guns run very well and are tremendously reliable...and both guns cost around $1000. I really like 1911s, I always have. I like the way they feel, I like the way they shoot, but I'm also a...

Thanks for the link, guys. I wrote that post as someone that is personally a big fan of the 1911 platform; I think it's a tremendously easy gun to shoot, I like .45 ACP, and generally do enjoy it as a platform. But the thought process behind the post is to look at the entry level guy, they guy...

The SERPA is legal for IDPA; IDPA HQ sent out a notice to clubs that it was. You will need to wear a concealment garment such as a vest or jacket over your gun and magazine holders.

Gun Nuts Radio (full disclosure, I'm the host and owner of the show) did an interview with one of the founders of the Zoot Shooters last year as well. They were also featured on an episode of Michael Bane's show Shooting Gallery. They're all really cool guys, and if I had the money for a zoot...

To the OP - congrats on choosing the XD9mm. Did you get the XD(m) model or did you go with the standard XD?

To all the young guys out there, I personally am glad to see you here and online. I'm in my late 20s, and I remember when I was 19-22 and really getting involved in shooting. It can be a tough road at times, so I'm really glad to see that you guys took the leap and are making your way. When I...

Yeah; I went to Don's exactly one time when I was at Purdue, the drive wasn't worth it. Years later when my wife and I moved back here, I went again - never again after that. I actually found out about all this hubbub courtesy of Popguns, which is where I go when Eagle Creek is closed or...

The City/County Government of Indianapolis/Marion County is seeking to pass a new gun control legislation, which expands on a previous 1975 bill. It's a rather onerous bill in that it subjects ranges to the whims of the Marion County Sheriff, forbids one from discharging an air rifle on your...
