I had my monthly IDPA match this morning....and sigh....I forgot my gun at home.

I cleaned it last night, gauged all my match ammo, prepped my range bag, even went through a checklist to make sure I had everything I would need.

Of course, I was talking with my girlfriend when going through the checklist, and set the gun down to talk to her and it never quite made it into my range bag. :banghead: I got to the range this morning to gear up and noticed my pistol pouch was quite light...instant panic.

Luckily, I borrowed a friends TGO2 for the match, but it didn't like my mags, so I got lots of tap, rack, ready under my belt.

On the good side of things, I won the raffle at the match and took home a sweet pair of Wiley X shooting glasses with interchangable lens and sold a rifle and made some money. From receiving the phone call to transfer of the gun in under an hour. What a rollercoaster day.

You know, I have forgotten magazines for my gun. I had everything but the mags. :banghead: You are not alone.
 
One of our top competitors forgot something a few years ago - the firing pin spring for his 1911. Took him about 10 minutes to figure out why it went click instead of bang.

Then he dug out a spare spring from his bag and cleaned our clocks.
