stages with "weird" stuff, lots of steel and movers, are indeed fun to shoot, but they take longer to reset, and you can get failures (poppers don't fall when properly hit, or fall without being hit...

now, if they show up with a Serpa holster, we're going to have a short conversation about safety and finger placement.
if you want to be a "gamer", great, go for it. if you want to test your...
as an IDPA SO, there is no way i'm going to worry about this 3" rule for local matches. we want people to show up, be safe, have fun shooting, and come back again. if they start talking about...
I can see a lot of private places declaring themselves "gun free", but making no effort to be "gun free". just a sign near the front door. but no way to check your firearm for your visit, no...
my prediction: NY loses the case (yay), but turns right around and imposes all sorts of expensive requirements and fees (lots of training, lots of forms, lots of money to the .gov), and also...
speaking of old versus modern guns, last year i was at the range with some 22 pistols, and a mess of mixed ammo (some standard velocity, some high velocity). i pulled out my "modern" SW 22A, and it...
and that's where you get different opinions. how much "vetting" is sufficient? i've shot this pistol and other similar ones many times, thousands of rounds of range ammo. i don't recall the last...
i chose a gun that others have well tested, Beretta 92. i chose ammo that others have well tested, Hornady Critical Duty 135gr. combine, fire a few shots so i know how it feels, call it a day.

too much $$ for my taste.
SW 41 is the 22 of choice for bullseye shooters.
Wilson, in his book, "Gun Guy", writes about needing to make pistols that draw the customers eye in the display case, they have to be visually attractive if you hope to get the customer to say "can i...
i'm in Santa Fe, I shoot local IDPA matches at Los Alamos Sportsmans Club in Los Alamos each month, and also monthly IDPA matches at the Northern Rio Grande Sportsmans Club in Espanola. many of the...
of course, those who visualized and lost have a different take on their day.
i know how to draw a pistol safely from a holster, but i'm not sure i can describe each step in a satisfactory manner. practice?
good grip, pull up, rotate barrel towards target, bring to eye...
how did you decide who and where to get training from? what criteria did you employ?
i read a lot about various trainer and schools, and they seem to be all over the place.
It's like no one reads the manuals that come with their guns. they tell you how to lubricate it, generally what to use to clean and oil it. and then stores sell items that are marked as for use with...
compact and centurion are the same top ends.
centurion and full size are the same bottom ends.
centurion is a cross between a full size bottom end (full size 92) and a shorter compact top end....
somehow, Mr. Browning fired 6000 rounds and didn't replace anything.....
good advice right there.
those are tough standards to meet. i'm more of a 3.5 sec Bill Drill guy.....
shot a local IDPA match last fall with my 1914 vintage (per the SN) 1911. finished mid-pack. try to shoot it once a year. still works. got new springs a few years ago.
I’m glad you are getting better
added to my list of things to try when the snow melts. thanks.
i think my best a few years ago was about 138. too many misses.
but back in October, i ran the 72 round classifier at 94.54, which would just make Expert, but it didn't count, as i was the only...
so now i should not keep my stick on the ice.
i'm very confused.
