Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. Somewhat unrelated but I bought a Tisas Duty 9mm 1911 crazy cheap on GB and the thing runs 100% right out of the box.
  2. SIG 320 Legion has no rear irons when you put an optic on and you know anything SIG does is a-ok with IDPA so…..no, you don’t need irons.
  3. I always thought if you were in the open you had to go to slide lock. You could advance to cover with one chambered as long as you don’t expose yourself to targets. Rules may have changed. IDPA will tell you what’s added, but they don’t tell you what they took out. A simple rule change of “no bullets on the ground” would simplify things greatly while still keeping the spirit of the self defense ideals.
  4. I don’t think there are many (any?) “standard” guns sans manual safeties that won’t fit in the SSP box.
  5. You either wait for your CZ, or you can shoot one of the many CO ready guns out there. Canik makes good CO ready guns that you could buy used, shoot while you wait, and probably sell for what you have into it.
  6. Until CO took over the planet, ESP was mostly CZ and 1911 types. Glock was the hotness in SSP. When the 320X optic ready came out, everybody showed up with them practically overnight. Now it’s split between the 320 and modded CZs. Pretty much anybody shooting a stock gun has a NV next to their name around here.
  7. Ok, first off, I'm not advocating a rule change, any boycotts, letter writing campaigns, or burnings of the rule book while chanting "43oz". This is just for my curiosity. Who thinks the "no added weight" rule is somewhat outdated? Today you clearly have stock guns built to take advantage of the 43oz rule - the XFive Legion and the Q5 SF come right to mind. If one gun is allowed to weigh 43oz, why can't the others be made to weigh the same, as long as it's not over 43oz - even if just for, say, ESP? Right now the rules say you can't have a tungsten guide rod in your Glock, but the guy with the Sig can have his whole frame made of tungsten infused space shuttle stuff. You can have an add on magwell, but it can't be made of brass, etc. It just seems kind of - old - like when a 3oz Seattle Slug in your G17 was some sort of unfair advantage. I understand the logic -- IDPA is for "carry" guns and "nobody" carries 43oz guns (then why is the rule 43oz and not 30oz?). Oh, 43oz is the weight of your average 1911 (but they said 43oz is too heavy, so why even have a CDP class?). Adding weight isn't a real advantage in "small" stages (then why is it banned if it doesn't matter). Like I said, I'm not trying to kick the hornets nest. I enjoy shooting IDPA. Yes, I think of it as a game more than anything else. I understand the rules are what the rules are. I'm just curious what other people think about the subject. So, what's your opinion: Yea, as long as it's not over 43oz it should be okay. Nope, leave the rules as they are. I could kinda go for a 34oz SSP limit and a 45oz ESP limit......(hmmmm..). Everybody's going CO so who cares.
  8. It would seem that IDPA has just the right weight selected to keep a lot of otherwise good guns out. Another 2-3oz would open the door to many other guns that would then be legal.
  9. Sig is probably funneling some money into IDPA somehow. Of course, this is going to open the door to "what about.....".
  10. 38 or 45 magazines won't fit in small frames.
  11. Man, there's entirely too much "showin' off" in this thread. Nice guns though.
  12. You simply explain that it's somebody's birthday somewhere.....
  13. When I shot in a winter trap league, we used to leave the boxes of shotgun shells on the dashboard of the car in the sun to keep them warm and grab them when it was time to shoot. Was only 2 boxes so it wasn't a big deal. People who left their stuff out in the cold waiting (couple hours sometimes) always seemed to have the occasional squib or noticeably weak shell. Now, everybody reloaded at the time and it could have been just a short powder charge, but we still tried to keep the shells warm to a point. I guess what I'm saying is don't shoot cold rounds over the chrono unless you just want to see what happens, and I sure wouldn't be giving any cold rounds to be tested before a match.
  14. 7500 mi a year? Man, you should let her out more.
