What is the difference between this and the other acronym pistol sport?

Not really sure. I've never done any of the others. I only did IDPA because my exes dad did and he had me go with him (probably to show me that he could outshoot me and therefore should treat his daughter well). They use different targets...but aside from that Im not really familiar with USPSA, or any other shooting sports.

[RThoe]

Well if Liberals had their way, this gun would have been unarmed (or maybe a baseball bat at best) and been another victim

Shots poppin out the AR

Mirin gramps blasting away





I'd like to do some type of 3 gun or IDPA match, will have to look into it later this year. I'd use it as practice/training too but lol at that ****gy scanning chit. No thanks.

[rtm0004]

For some reason I am infatuated with the West and was set on getting together a Cowboy Action set up. Reality smacked me in the head like a slippery fish and I now realized I can't afford matching single actions, a lever rifle, a sxs shotgun, and leather. I need something else to do.

Yea a lot of that stuff is pricey. Would be fun though

This, actually debating on my next upper due to a possible can in the future. Would it be better to pick up a 16" upper that I can swap suppressors on if I do a can or just stick with the basic extended A2 that comes with BCM and buy one that fits that.

So when you did that scan, what did you see?

His operator points climbing at an insane rate

Everyone hating on the guy because he was using IDPA as good practice reps. I've never done the scanning, but I don't see the problem with treating IDPA as practice/training as opposed to a competition. When I did it, I didn't care what other people's times were compared to mine, I just wanted the practice of shooting and moving similar to a real scenario as opposed to just standing there shooting.

I wasnt hatting, I actually pointed out that he could get DQ for waiving the gun like that.

A lot of people I know use IDPA to practice with their carry gear, use their concealed holster and are more interested in honing their skills that winning a match. But you have to be clear that this is a game. You dont load your mags with 10 bullets (unless you are in one of those ****gy states) right ? some of the rules try to make sense and be tactical and real but still is a race game

Are there prizes at IDPA matches? What are the entrance fees? I mean, what are your actual odds of winning as a novice without race guns? I'd just go to get some practice in on an unfamiliar course that encourages movement and engaging multiple targets.
I really liked the course someone described where you play the roll of an armed robber, using a baby as a human shield while pushing a shopping cart that was obviously full of money out of the store as you gun down multiple shoppers.

Some matches have prizes ... i think is more bragging rights

i love the story and designs of stages

I don't know if it's the same everywhere, but where I did it there aren't prizes. They would occasionally have a one day match (I never personally did this, so I don't know all of the details, or how frequently they do it) where there would be I think 7 different stages. You run each once and based on your time/score you get classified into a division; Novice, marksman, sharpshooter, expert, or master. Usually you go to it though and it's just a single stage scenario that you run through 7-10 times maybe? You don't get anything on those days, they're just show up, hangout and shoot.

A beginner at IDPA isn't likely to finish tops. Some of the people I shot with were just unbelievable. I loved it for practice. There's countless scenarios they can make up, so it's usually pretty fun. Plus where I was at all of the people were really cool, helpful, and just supportive. I expected the people to be ultra competitive and not friendly at all, they were the opposite. Even the limey Brit that was there was cool.

Edit: also it was only $5 at the place I went to and if you were a member of the club hosting it $3. On the days where you show up and earn the division classification it was $20.

I like the chill environment of IDPA and also like that you cant have space guns

what gear do I need to get started?

Pistola, mags(how many?), holster, and fishing vest?

gun, 3 mags ( unless you are doing BUG or 1911 ) holster and something to cover the gun , it doesnt have to be a vest

Makes perfect sense to me to use a match to practice defensive skills for a situation where a bad guy might be shooting back. Those are real skills.

The alternative is to use the match to demonstrate that you mastered the event rules better than the other guys. Those are fake skills.

i got sum bad newz

What is the difference between this and the other acronym pistol sport?

IDPA -
need less gear.
MAx 18 shoots per stage,
There is a certain order on how to engage the targets
no space guns,
simple scoring system that adds to your time depending where you hit the target.
focus more on marksmanship than speed

USPSA -
Allows double belts,
space holsters and space mag pouches
Stages can be shoot freestyle , you decide how to engage
stages can be 30+ shoots
scoring system is more complicated with hit factor taken in consideration.
Speed is critical
Space guns

You mention needing to conceal, what if you don't have a ccdw? Then you have to break the law or get your permit. Just something to consider.

Oh wow. I have a G19, owb holster and 4 mags. I just want to shoot.

I have a Columbia PFG shirt. Think I'd be good to tuck two mags IWB have my gun OWB and the shirt over?

IDK about other states, but in NC, you can conceal without a permit with permission from the property owner.

In Kentucky, you can if it's your property. Don't know about property owner permission. I don't think it would be a concern and I'm getting my permit this winter anyway

to participate in any event you have to follow your state laws. I dont know what laws apply in your state but when you get to a range, you can carry, open carry , conceal without breaking any laws .

Im talking by my experience . for example in PR , you have one of the most restricted gun laws in the USA. but you can carry in a range/ store without a ccw

that sounds like the perfect setup. google. IDPA carolina cup ... there is a some big clubs in NC and SC.

most of the guys in my club just use a shirt over their guns, like baseball jerseys or just bottom up shirts

When I did it, I didn't care what other people's times were compared to mine, I just wanted the practice of shooting and moving similar to a real scenario as opposed to just standing there shooting.

I was asking a serious question. No hate intended. I see people doing the range kata of the scan and assess, but they aren't looking for anything or looking at anything. From a defensive standpoint they're training themselves to meaninglessly swivel their head after shooting someone. This is bad for all kinds of reasons, especially if you shoot a ton of drills with the same number of shots fired. When I ask that question I usually either don't get an answer to that question or the answer is an incredibly generic forced one like "uhh the other targets". I was asking to bring up a point that might enhance his shooting from a practical standpoint, not to deride him for using IDPA as practice.

I'll take it.

From my experience, Aero products have reeeeeeally weak anodizing. That's why I sold my COP upper. I know it's meant to be run, but I'd rather not have the damn thing bare without even shooting it.
