JOThompson Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hi everyone, My friend from school has convinced me to get involved with USPSA. I've owned a few handguns in my lifetime but have only previously shot casually. I recently bought a Para Ordnance P16 and I'm slowly acquiring all the other necessary gear. I look forward to learning more about the sport from this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzygä Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hi and Welcome! My second gun was also Para Ordnance P16. It's great gun but now I am shooting mainly STI. Read the forums and you will know what are the best gears for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOThompson Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 I just completed my first match at Lowell, IA. The extractor on my Para was acting up, but luckily, there were plenty of experts around to repair the gun and I was able to compete in all the stages. I had a great time, but it's clear that I have much to learn. Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
