Rumor - unsubstantiated - that it is returning to the Sage Pistol League in Ridgecrest on the usual Memorial Day weekend.

The West Coast Dual Championships in San Luis Obispo last June awarded guns to each class winner in Single Stack and Production, from GM all the way to D. Then random drawings for visits to the prize table for the remaining items were held. Still, consider Major League Baseball paying the top position players in AAA, then AA, then A, then instructional league more than the number two in the major leagues. Doesn't sound right because it would not be right.

Does any one have a link to the results of the 2006 American Handgunner matches? Something that shows placement? All I can find are mentions of a few winners.

Anybody know how the match in Bakersfield turned out, and when results will be posted?

As the maximum number of rounds an any IDPA stage is 18, you will not be at a deficit. From a local match to a major match the range for the number of extra reloads (8-round magazines versus 10-round) will be 1 to 2 or 3. For a 1.5 second reload, that is the equivalent of 3 points down.

Past, current and future students and especially First Family Members of Front Sight should be aware of the following. Front Sight is being sued under a variety of California statutes including RICO. This is the school and resort located outside Las Vegas, Nevada - about 15 miles from Pahrump. For detailed information see the below website: http://www.frontsightlitigation.com/index.html See the "Litigation Documents" section for the 26-page allegations of the Plaintiffs.

Nate, There are also plans for an end of year match on 12/2-4. At the very least it should be a trophy match with 10-12 stages and a few inexpensive guns to give away like last year. Maybe a LOT of prizes? Check out http://www.sincityshooters.com/ for future details.

Here is a reply from Blade-Tech: January 11, 2005 Subject: IDPA Equipment Rule Change Reference: Blade-Tech Industries Holsters and Magpouches To Whom It May Concern: According to the 2005 IDPA rulebook; Blade-Tech IDPA Belt and Tek-Lok holsters fall under the “POUCH” holsters. Stated in the 1-D (page 29) “pouch style holster” Blade-Tech Industries holster do meet the criteria stated on page 29. “QUOTE” from the current rulebook. This design features a “pouch” that holds the handgun and usually has a separate back piece attached to the back of the “pouch” which attaches to the holster to the belt. This “back piece” can either be a belt tunnel, belt slots on either side of the pouch, or a paddle that slides inside the pants. Blade-Tech holsters are not designed/ and are not marketed as “competition” equipment. The Paddle, and the Tek-Lok holsters or “POUCHES” are cant adjustable for a “3 position” cant. However or holsters are FIXED in one position only! Meaning you cannot rotate or pivot from a fixed position manually. In order for a Holster to be transitioned from a straight cant to a “FBI” cant or a muzzle rearward cant you physically have to remove the “Back piece” from the holster, reposition and lock down the attaching hardware. Blade-Tech Industries “IWB”, “IDPA belt holster”, “Paddle holster”, and magpouches meet and exceed the criteria stated in the current rule book. Blade-Tech holsters and magpouches are utilized by Ken Hackathorn. In a recent conversation with Ken Hackathorn, Ken mentioned that there should be no problem with Blade-Tech holsters according to the new rules. Blade-Tech holsters listed above meet the demands of every day real world application; which is used by Elite Military units, Undercover Law enforcement Agents, Officers, Instructors, Civilians, and IDPA/USPSA competitors.

Read the reply I received from Mike Benedict at Talon- Tactical below. Still no answer from IDPA Headquarters. My holsters are still legal as they are really designed for carry. As I understand it Blade-Tech non-offset origional holsters without the tech-loc are legal. If I can do anything for you please let me know. Mike Subject: IDPA Approved Holsters After reading all of the flames from forum postings on the new IDPA rule book, I am not sure what is a legal holster and what is not. Have you or any of the other holster manufacturers actually spoken with IDPA HQ? Let me tell you what I have currently: A 1 3/4 " Wilderness instructors belt Blade-Tech standard straight drop kydex holster for a gov't 1911 Uncle Mikes standard belt straight drop kydex holster for a Glock 34 (17/22/35) Blade-Tech mag pouches for the 1911 Uncle Mikes mag pouches for the Glock From what I interpret from reading the rule book: The Uncle Mikes holster is NOT allowed due to the off-set spacing from the waist to the holster. After measuring the mag pouches and each mag, they both cover 50+% (narrowly) of the magazine and they both have one or more tension screws. So am I to surmise they are legal? Strangely, the Blade-Tech holster would be legal with a thick 1 3/4" leather type belt, but NOT with the Wilderness belt. Your A10 appears to conform to the new rules. Does it still? The desert climate lends itself to synthetics and I would prefer not to switch back to leather. Mike Benedict \r\nTalon Tactical Holsters \r\nWWW.talontactical.com\r\n
