Shot this as 1st stage on Saturday....2nd USPSA match ever (1st one was probably 10 years ago) didn't even realize it was a classifier until someone told me afterwards...felt like I could go faster for sure Limited: 8.18 seconds - 58 points - 7.0905 HF, 60.297 %( i think) I've been shooting IDPA for years, finally got a day off to go to our Saturday USPSA match and had so much more fun and shot so much more relaxed....gotta get more serious about it withthis sanction...

Any word on a state match in 2014 or has that idea been abandoned until politics & statue change ?

Shot my best match in a really LONG time today. SO'd a squad around the match and decided to shoot first every stage. Times were good, runs were clean. I found that by shooting as the first in the stack I Didn't get mentally polluted by watching people ahead of me, and I didn't seem to care or think twice about order, sequence or the myriad of other IDPA rules. I've shot like this before on occasion but it was nice to get that feeling back after a bit of a lay off from match shooting. I'm curious of some others opinions about going first in the stack like that. I'm going to try it some more to see if I can replicate the no preconceptions type of day I had today...

Yes, because I have to. When I'm at work/on duty I carry an HK USP 40 with the LEM trigger because that's what the Fed's issued me....and I despise it. Not to say it's not a good sidearm but I don't like the ergonomics of it and I don't like the trigger. But it's what's required so I carry it and I shoot it at quarterly requals and other times as well just to stay current and proficent with it. On my own time I carry a 1911 officers model. I also shoot 1911's in competition. I like the ergonomics. I also subscribe to the theory of you fight like you train, but it's also about being prepared. I have been involved in a self defense shooting with my 1911 and I didn't find myself forgetting to drop the safety or anything like I would with the HK (since it doesn't have one). For me it comes down to training management and the law of primacy. If you have something instilled in you in primary training and subsequently train with/in other tools or disciplines. I have made myself learn to manage two different types of sidearms for opperational reasons. Some people will be able to multi-task than others, and for those people it boils down into how much time you are willing to train and get used to the systems you will be using in a stress environment.
