My understanding was that Randy Rogers was shooting the M&P9C, while Julie G was shooting the shield.
I believe this was Randi's first big outing in S&W Blue.

I thought about shooting my Scandium 360 in our outlaw ccw match (<100 rounds) a few months ago.
Then I went to the range to practice up.
15 rounds of standard pressure fmj later I switched to my "race gun" (Kahr PM9) instead.

Yes, Randi had a Compact and Julie had a Shield.
Full thoughts on the match here.
I have about 20 pages of notes I took on the match and my thoughts on it, which I'll be unpacking through the week. I really think IDPA is on to something here with this format.
This seems like just the match for my 3" model 36 square butt.
IDPA Just announced on Facebook Randi Rogers taking High Lady with her S&W Shield. I know on their Gun Girl Radio Podcast Randi & Julie stated that Randi was going to use the compact and Julie the Shield.

I'm purty sure Randi had a compact, but it's hard to tell from the photos.
I forget, were there reloads as part of the COF in this match?
We shoot a couple of BUG matches per year locally and those have no reloads, was wondering if that is the same at the nationals.
That made me LOL.
I have a 340PD that sits idle these days. The day I bought it, back when they first came out, set on "conquering" the beast, I put on my Viking hat and proceeded to shoot an entire box of 50 rounds of .357 through it in a single sitting. Good God that hurt. The process left my strong hand thumb bloodied (from the cylinder release) and the funny bit is that I didn't even know it until I felt the blood dripping into my palm b/c my whole hand was so numb. Yeah, not so smart... :-P
The match looks like it was a lot of fun. We've put on some local BUG side matches. Having learned my lesson, I shoot my actual BUG, a much more civilized 239. :-)

No reloads.
One of the stages had a pickup 442 loaded with actual .357 ammo. That was...fun.
