Thread: Guns of the IDPA World Championship

  1. #1

    Guns of the IDPA World Championship

    Glocks: 142
    1911s: ~100 (depending on how you count double-stack guns it's either less than or slightly more than 100)
    M&Ps: 67
    XDs: 6 (of which I was 1)
    CZs: 3 (1 Shadow)
    Sigs: 3 (2 DA/SA, 1 1911)
    Beretta: 1 (a lonely 90Two)

    There were more Tanfoglios at this match than Berettas and Sigs combined.

    More details here.

    The balance of the Glocks were 17s or 34s with the 34 by far being the most popular single model of pistol at the match. The M&P mix was mostly 9mm with the 4.25 inch barrel, which outnumbered the Pro Series guns 39 to 18. There were also 8 M&P45s and 7 Glock 21s in Custom Defensive Pistol division, continuing to erode the 1911s dominance of that category.

    It is interesting to note that despite all the internets hype you see about certain brands, that the people who are willing to shell out the time and money to attend a major match don't shoot those brands.

    I would have expected more CZ's since "all of the competitors outside of the US use them almost exclusively."
    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    Most of the South American shooters were using 1911s, Tangfos or Glocks. I didn't see it, but there was a Gen4 that had been rechambered in 9x21.

    Excuse me but we seem to be missing something.

    S&W revolvers. I believe there were more of those than all the also-ran autoloaders put together. That's assuming that revolvers are "guns."

    When I give private lessons, if I need to demo, I use the student's gun. That way they don't think I'm using a tricked out SCCY to be able to shoot well.

    If you followed the link provided...

    "S&W also dominated the revolver category, with every wheelgun in attendance being a Smith with three exceptions: a Ruger GP100; a Colt Python; and one brave, crazy soul running a Chiappa Rhino."

    I wonder how many there were, revolvers that is. Ah well, I can wait until IDPA posts the information.

    According to the results, there were 44 revolvers. 14 in ESR and 30 in SSR.

    (if I counted correctly)
