Nice shooting, man! That CZ is really making me want one... It's so pretty and low profile... Herr Tog posted:So if I am planning on sometimes CCW my center fire pistol then IDPA maybe a better choice for me? Know what's the best choice? Whichever competition is going on that weekend. Seriously, just get out there and go! Steel challenge, IDPA, USPSA, whatever is on the schedule just show up and have fun! Even if you have no idea what the rules are I guarantee the other shooters will be happy to fill you in and get you started. The absolute hardest part is going to that first competition. Once you've made it to the finish line once, no matter how you placed, you'll be hooked. I guarantee it. Some hard won advice: - Slow is fast. Don't rush. - DQs suck, but they happen. Shake it off, grab a beer, and beat them next weekend. - Gear doesn't matter. Guns don't matter. YOU are the only thing holding you up.

Edit: ^^^^^ Lots of this! Hello rear end thread, and hello Front Range (Colorado) goons reading the rear end thread. If any of you are awake, mobile, and in possession of a current IDPA classification, the state IDPA championship is in Montrose at the end of June. Registration is open here. If you do not hold a classification, Front Range IDPA will run the classifier 12 May. If you are in or around Pueblo, every Wednesday from about 3:30 to 6:30 PM this summer is practice for steel challenge. The 2012 Rocky Mountain Regionals are at the end of May. The entry fee is kind of steep, but tons of cool people show up. Pueblo West Sportsman's Association also hosts a ton of poo poo. If you are around Fort Collins or Limon, I know they've got stuff running out there too, but I don't know what it is!

Thank you for you words of advice, I'll take which ever one is first up on the weekend that I can go to once I can get going, thanks Foghorn. Anyone savy to CA specific rules of events? I'm kind of thinking of going the Mini-14 route instead of AR-15 since the fixed mag requirement would slow reloads to a relative crawl if I don't have specific equipment which may be against the rules.

Pfft I classified before I was even a member. (I still am not a member, even though I made CDP Marksman)

Herr Tog posted:Are calssifications basically: "I know how gun good?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUxJnxfKfQg Here is part of my/SFG's IDPA classifiers. I thought it was a pretty bad run, and still got marksman. Note that that was when my 1911 really should have had its recoil spring replaced, and we were terrible at recoil control at that time. SFG missed marksman by what, like 1 second, and I got marksman pretty cleanly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-F7XkqnDNA Here is a guy shooting SSP, and making master.

Thank you for the video, seems like I definitely want to try both. Also your video pointed me to good beginner videos. IDPA is looking more like what I want for a CCW center-fire pistol.

foghorn posted:Nice shooting, man! Oh no you didn't just call his EAA a CZ. 3 gun from this past weekend with Lunchboxx. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amTBw__w-GM I got some gear issues to work out for future 3 guns although I knew that going into it. I surprised myself with how well I did for my first time out. Ended at 18 out of 45. Lunchboxx took 4th. I'm sure he'll have his video put together soon.

The competition part kind of will help me realize that at a certain point 'yes, I do know how to safely and effectively use a gun well.'

Soon enough... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9Ms1Fphajw&hd=1 Like I said before, it wasn't the super-stress test I was hoping for, but the Mossberg JM 930 worked out really well. There were absolutely no issues or complaints from me regarding how it ran. I do suddenly have the urge to do a shotgun-only match though...

Got to shoot an extra match in Birmingham today (about 1.5 hrs away). Shot pretty well, had fun, but gently caress Merle's Standards as a classifier (99-63).

gently caress standards period. I get what they're going for, but they just end up being not fun and due to the offhand part of it they always feel slow.

In February, when my hands were freezing. It was a shitshow.
