It won't dissuade me too much. As far as reloading, I did say the excuse was worthless. I didn't really do any dryfire or live fire practice that was IDPA centered with the auto so I headed to my little semiprivate range where drawing from holsters and moving around is ok as long as you are safe and did some live fire practice similar to the stage I DQed on (and set up some other stages were 180 can be an issue) with both it and my revolvers. something I noticed is that I bring my gun to retention when I run (how you would do it in the "real world", I need to remember not to do that too.

Oh did I blow it BIG today. First stage, first position I fired my 6 rounds, began to retreat, extended my SH out to the right to turn left at the end of the "hallway"...and turned right sweeping my entire squads feet. I still feel sick to my stomach. It clearly pained the SO to DQ me. I know I disappointed him at least as much as I disppointed my self. My only excuse (and it is a worthless one at that) is that I usually shoot a revolver and tried to reload my auto like it was a revolver ("were the heck is the cylinder release!!") and, flustered, turned the wrong way. I will be back next match, with my revolver.
