[What pistol do you carry for self defense (vs the one you compete with)?]

Compete with a G19, carry a G26.

I know this doesn’t answer your question, but I’ve switched to ETS mags and haven’t looked back. The surface is smooth and slick. They fall right out every time and they are very durable.

Yeah that’s nuts. I can see why they would limit categories.

Thanks for the clarification!

I have a question about categories. Let’s say I served in the Marine Corps then got out after completing my enlistment. A few year sale later I joined the Coast Guard and am on active duty. Would I be eligible to compete at a match in both Military and Veteran categories, or just Military?

[How do you find time to shoot?]

Something I came to understand is that being as into something as you would like to be isn’t always in the cards. I’m active duty military with 5 kids. Been deploying for the last 17 yrs. just now got a desk job and am now MAKING the time to pursue my interests. Just wasn’t possible before, but it is now, and I’m making it happen. Understand that doing one thing means something else isn’t getting done. In the end your priorities are for you to decide, combined with what your life allows. 

[How did you save money for your 2011s?]

Sell plasma. I used to do it regularly. It can add up. I was making 300-400 extra a month when I was going twice a week, which is the most you can do it.

[Hello from KY]

Hey everyone, I’m in Shelbyville KY. Been reloading for awhile, but just shot my first IDPA match recently. I can see myself getting into it. Hope to learn a lot from this forum.
