Is KSTG for everyone? No. I know for a fact it's not for me. I carry a 5" 1911 with a WML. I can clearly see the rules were not meant for me. No biggie. Within an hour's drive of where I sit I can shoot an IDPA match on the first Monday, second Tuesday, second Saturday and last Thursday of the month. I can shoot a USPSA match 1x/month within a 2 hour drive. I'm just down the road from what some would say is the preeminent IDPA match in the South, the Carolina Cup.
Finding a gun game that accommodates my preferred style of weapon, or my perceived notions of speed vs. accuracy vs. "realism" isn't the issue. It's about having options to find the particular brand of gun game Kool-Aid that quenches your thirst for action / speed / excitement / realism / dynamism. As rob_s once said, "Some people like Star Wars and some people like Star Trek, it ain't a religion."
That's the wonderful thing about this entire shooting / guns / self-defense / training / preparedness enterprise: you decide how far down the rabbit hole you want to go.
