hello kjames, i am left handed as well. i actually pinch the weapon with the strong thumb and trigger finger keeping the trigger finger straight. rotate the middle, ring and pinky finger on the front strap and use my middle finger to hit the mag release. i am as quick, or quicker (practice) than anyone else. interesting thing happened too, being a lefty. i was inserting the magazine and the index finger of my support hand just happened to wrap around and hit the slide stop on the left side of the gun dropping the slide (idpa slide lock reload). that is what i now use to drop the slide since the support hand is already in position, i just rotate to a full firing grip after i drop the slide with the support hand. this is very fast for me and insures the magazine is inserted before the slide stop is engaged. hope this helps have a good one man will s.

composed a few lines about how it can be at times head shot on the mark reality does not fit dream scape beyond time ***** here is another, thousand rounds a week truck is soon to be repo'ed busting caps, right now

sometimes in arguing with assholes, you get a chance to see what an a_-hole you are too...

thanks

something i get some realization from. besides this forum...good work brian the jesuits were doing their best to convert (ruin) japan around the 17th, or 16th century...i can't remember now. anyway, these jesuit priests were telling the samurai they were going to hell for their sins they have committed on their fellow man. one great samurai had what we would refer to as a "conscience attack". so he went to a great zen master with his question. he entered the temple and was shown to the master. the samurai asked the master: "master....heaven and hell...do they exist?" the zen master looked him up and down and said: "i can't believe they let people as stupid and as ugly as you become samurai these days" the samurai went to draw his sword and lop off the master head...the zen master did not flinch. he was simply waiting for death. for some reason the samurai stopped his action. the zen master said: "this is hell" with those words said, the samurai was greatly touched. he put away his sword. the zen master said: "this is heaven" the samurai wept and had full comprehension on a subconscious level of his mental attachments. going well beyond his scratching question of heaven and hell, or left and right. he gave up the killing arts and followed the zen master to the end of his life. thats it

i think about this at times before shooting a match, or other situations. "not think... before, after...in front, behind... only freedom, at the middle point..."

so these five buddist monks take a five year retreat/study on "silence". the stipulations are that you can't talk at all...for the entire 5 years...no matter what. but...once a year the the five monks would take turns having a chance to write down their thoughts and the instructor/master would then say it out aloud to the class of five. no other response, or dialogue would be allowed. so they begin their course. one year goes by in total silence... one day they draw straws to get the chance to be the first to write down what they want to have said. the master then reads aloud, the words of the first monk... the monk wrote: "i would like something else besides rice soup" another year goes by...another monk gets his chance to have his words said aloud by the master. he writes: "i quite like the rice soup" another year of total silence goes by and another monk gets his chance. he writes: "i would appreciate more vegetable in the rice soup" another year goes by in total mind numbing silence and the fourth monk writes his thoughts he writes: "i would prefer a little meat in the soup" another traumatizing year of silence floats by and the fifth monk gets to have his words read aloud by the master right before they are released he writes: "would you all stop f@$King talking about the soup...you are driving me crazy!"

they are both timed games with slightly different rules. lets not get stuck in a black and white paradigm.

i too, am a tool-head outstanding new track! 106.3 in az. has been playing the new track regularly. it debutes here on the 15th of may...heads up!

hello, great forum... i guess i have seen the opposite. you have to really curtail the speed and go for better shot placement. many of the ipsc guys i know who first did the classifier really blew it...they were shooting quick though...just not as accurate as the idpa scoring system is set up for. i saw a "gm" drop 30 points per target at 20 meters. normally his speed would have saved the day, but he was screwed with idpa scoring. then again i have tape of rob leatham shooting a poor (for him!!) 73 second master in cdp. idpa tried to make the ranking system less intimidating to attract more new shooters (so i was told when i called idpa to push for something like "grand master", or "ultra super duper stud shooter" rank) i like the higher focus on accuracy over sloppy speed. i think it is a better balance of speed and accuracy. that is part of why i do it.
