slippp Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) Hey guys. My name is Jeremy, but some of my friends call me slip. Actually only like 2 of them do, but that's beside the point I'm from IL and will be planning on attending as many matches as my budget allows I'm totally new to the shooting scene, let alone match shooting. I've been shooting for roughly 8 months now, and have just bought my first two handguns. I own an STI Trojan in .40 s&w and a Glock 17 in 9mm. This sunday is my first club match, and I'm really excited. I am planning on shooting in single stack competitions. For the Trojan, I'm using Tripp Research magazines (haven't technically "used" them yet still brand new!). I have a CR Speed Hi Torque belt on the way, but it won't be here for the match. I also have the Ice DOH holster and Blade Tech mag pouches for the 1911 As for the Glock, I just have 3 Glock magazines and 3 aftermarket magazines. I'm not sure if I want to shoot production with the Glock yet because, well, I haven't even done a match! Can anyone recommend some mag pouches and a holster for the Glock that's production legal? Anyway, I think that's a decent first introduction! Hope to meet some of you guys at the events! Edited August 21, 2010 by slippp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
