Bill Schwab Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 Why does he shoot CDP and not shoot ESP and whoop everyone's *ss?? Brian? Anyone? Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmc9x23 Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 I believe it is prearranged with his friends that shoot. One will shoot one class and one will shoot the other. At the winternationals I think he shot ESP. Also since Springfields main buisness is 45's, I think they like him to shoot the 45. Ay the Nationals I think Dave had a quicker score shooting a Glock 34. But, Robbie had a better score, the 45 has more recoil and is a bit slower on the follow-up shots plus it's limited to 8 round mags insted of the 10 of the Glock. One extra reload in the match and it costs CDP shooters 2-3 seconds. The difference in their scores was only 3 hundredths of a second. You decide.

kellyn Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 Normally he shoots CDP in IDPA. I think part of it is that Springfield mostly makes .45s but I think the biggest reason is that he just likes an opportunity to shoot a .45. He usually shoots full power military ball ammo. In AZ, he has always shot CDP (which is why I'm going to ESP for the next State Championship!) next time I see him, I'll ask. He was thinking about shooting a 10 but last we talked it seemed that idea has gone by the wayside. I don't think an extra reload costs Rob 2-3 seconds :-) More like 1!

Bill Schwab Posted October 12, 2001 Author Share Posted October 12, 2001 The first word of this thread was supposed to be "Why" not "Was"...I don't know how I messed that up. I guess it just frustrates me when you hear the IDPA folks says shit like "A Glock won the Nationals" or "Robbie wasn't the fastest." I'd like to see Rob smoke everyone, which he almost did with the 45....guess I should have posted this in the Hate section. Kelly, The 10mm used to be considered CDP, but they've now moved it to ESP.

Bill Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 I guess I must be dense or something but I can't see where CPD with 8 round mags had to make an extra reload at The IDPA Nationals. Can someone tell me what stage? I shot revolver so I know about extra reloads. Bill Nesbitt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 I asked Rob why he shoots CDP and not ESP and he said "Because I'm not a pussy. I want the challenge to be as hard as possible." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpty1 Posted November 12, 2001 Share Posted November 12, 2001 All the stages at the nationals were designed in such a way where there was no capacity advantage when comparing ESP, SSP, or CDP. I can't say for sure the same holds true for wheel gunners but I would guess they had to reload more often. If a stage required a reload (again excepting wheelers) then everyone had to reload. The issue simply became between or on which targets in the array was the reload necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 One of my goals in life is to beat Rob in CDP (but please don't tell him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Schwab Posted December 7, 2001 Author Share Posted December 7, 2001 Chris, Reloads aren't the issue, shooting a 165 pf load vs a 125 pf load is. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
