Our club (Capital City Rifle Club, Williamston, MI) runs a PCC match on the Sunday after every sanctioned IDPA match. We use the same stage scenarios, but just add a lot more targets. We typically shoot 30 - 50 rounds per stage. We've been doing this for the last year and it has really grown in popularity. We run based on IPSC-like rules, but use IDPA targets and scoring. The typical stage description is "At the buzzer engage targets as they become visible."

I apologize for my error in forum etiquette, I'll only post match announcements here in the future.

That would work too, but I already own the 1911A1 in 9MM, but I don't currently own a 38 super.

Generally an even number of rounds is a slight advantage, because unless there's some steel, 2 rounds per target yields at gun a slide lock AFTER you have completed a target. It saves the time of reengaging a target for a single round. However, add some steel and this won't always be an advantage.

Thanks to everyone for their input! I shoot 9 round magazines in IDPA matches, and agree that in most cases 9 + 1 is better than 10 + 1. But, our club also just started IPSC matches. We have a club championship each month with plaques, and we will be holding a Limited 10 match in the near future. Last year in Limited 10 I ran my standard Springfield 9 round magazines.

Thanks very much Born-n-45. I just ordered four magazines from Brownells (I get dealer pricing) for $20.97 each.

I know Wilson is working on these right now, I have been in contact with a Wilson person for the last year and there are expected to be available later this year. I appreciate their efforts to ensure these are "perfect" and I swear by their 45 ACP magazines, but I need some to use in matches this year. Anyone know of a vendor who has them available today, and if so, do they work and are they reliable? Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

Thanks everyone, I have and will continue to use the Safari Land metal holders for the .40/10 MM moon clips for ESP (and IPSC). I ordered a set of 3 newly designed, IDPA legal carriers from Ready Tactical Products today for the .38/.357. Jeff Berger used these at the 2005 MI State IDPA match and feel that work well, his results at that match speak for themselves based on his score.

Thanks Joe.

Last time I shot revolver in IDPA was before the carrier rule changes in 2005. I have Safari Land III speed loaders for a .38/.357 and moon clips for my .40/10MM S&W 610. Can anyone recommend legal carriers that work well, are fast, and would work for both revolvers? Many thanks to anyone who replies.
