Took the "Intro to IDPA" class today

[jetfire]

at the local club. I haven't shot competition for 30 years. I was the only guy shooting a real gun. Everyone else had some form of plastic POS in a plastic holster. Times have changed.

I can't tell if this is sincere or a clever troll post.

My radar for this stuff is totally fucked.

Son you wouldn't understand. Fine nonamerican made firearms don't come cheap. A man can pride him self in having bought a quality firearm no matter the price.

I guess that depends on what you consider to be "fine." I like guns that don't break every five minutes.

I'm fairly certain this whole thread is just all of us trolling each other back and forth. As long as we're all having fun, it's all good, right?

So I shot a 1911 today. But it was an SW 1911Sc Commander. Scandium - what the hell is that? Real men don't shoot scandium guns. Real guns are Walker Colts - reloads take a bit of time though.

Real men aren't concerned with reloading. When you carry a 1911 in .45 all you need it 8.


I've thought about carrying one just as a deterrent. "Woah now robbers! This here's a .45. *scatters*

Competition and 1911's will get you killed in da streetz

Not a troll, just an observation on how thing have changed since I shot USPSA years ago, before classes and optics, when all my shooting buddies shot 1911s tuned by the late Charlie Mills. Feeling nostalgic.

In that case where's the scoreboard with your "real" gun?

Times change. Technology improves. In 40 years we'll be trolling old guys shooting Glocks when they're "classics"

So I'm going to guess carry optics is not manly because they only do that in USPSA. They're all gamers and gamers aren't real men.

Then again they have a device that basically turns a pistol into a laser beam. And laser beams are manly.

I'm conflicted.

Everyone will be shooting welfare open guns with 2.5 pound triggers and onboard comps and I'll be like "I remember when we called that 'Modified' division."
