what brand of bullets do you reccomend??

sorry it is a 9mm. i've heard some things like make sure you keep the bullet under 1000fps and stuff like that. Is there any truth to that statement?

I'm looking to start reloading and I've heard lead can be cheap. Can I shoot lead out of a sig p226, and will it meet the IDPA SSP rating of 125,000 and still be accurate??

I've just been able to start practicing for my first competition. At whats the max distances at Idpa/ Uspsa competitions? P.S. Thanks for all your help so far!

will they really care if I wear my trap vest, or are they that anal about the rules.

Whats wrong with people thinking you're a gun store commando. It keeps the neighbors in line for sure.

Ok I guess I had that coming! But I read somewhere in the rules that they don't like you wearing camo. Is this true?

I found a good deal on a concealment vest, but its digital camo. Would this work. http://www.lapolicegear.com/5tadicave.html

I've also read I need 5 mags for USPSA. Can I get away with just using only 4? How often would I swap mags in a normal run? From videos I've seen of USPSA production runs only 3 mags are used.

what about rounds in the mags? is it still ten?

I'm thinking of doing USPSA too.

I know that IDPA only allows 4 mags total 1 in the gun, two on the belt, and one in a pocket. The mags can only be loaded with 10 rounds. Is this correct? What are the USPSA rules? I believe I will be shooting production class when I start sometime in June.

Is the paddle holster legal??

I dont think blade tech makes a holster for the P226. Is the uncle mikes paddle holster legal? Whats a good decently priced legal holster?? I'm going to a gun show this weekend to pick a holster up. Could you tell me what makes this illegal?

I'm thinking of getting an uncle mikes mag pouch and holster. All I have are net pics of them for now and i'm not sure if they are legal. Could you guys take a look? Can I see some examples of the stuff that you use?? I'm looking for it to be on the inexpensive side (under $70 for holster and enough pouches to fit 4 mags) Mag pouches: http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/...leitemid=677262 Holsters: http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/...leitemid=501400

i'd be shooting in the production class. So then my question turns to what type of belt holster is the best?

Whats better for competition a tactical thigh holster of a conventional waist one? Or is it one of these personal preference things? Same goes with mag holders. Whats a good style?

Sorry to get off topic a bit but is there a 22 comversion for the sig p226 or p220??

Well I may start a vicous debate over it, but whats the best gun to use for practical shooting? My dad has a few pistols that he will let me use. Glock 19 Colt gold cup (70 series I believe) beretta 92fs Sig p220 and p226 I've shot them all and they all shoot great. Really I can't decide between the last 4. I'm really not crazy about the Glock. What do you reccomend?

Hello, I'm 19 and really new to handgun shooting. I'm looking to learn practical/ defensive pistol, and I'm wondering if someone would be willing to show me the ropes (pistol shooting in general). I'm in shamokin,PA and I'll be willing to drive to your local range. I'll even buy lunch.

Can't find any on the sites. Any other sources?

Hello, Looking to get my feet wet in practical shooting, and I'd like to use my AR-15. The guys at AR15.com said I should post here. I've heard of a place in pittsburg that has practical rifle. Does any place else in PA have practical rifle??
