Too many acronymns

[Shooter Grrl]

Hi y'all,

What do all these acronymns stand for?  My best guess is that they are some sort of classes or divisions - could someone take a moment and break them down for me?

Also, is there and IDPA website with rules and contacts and good stuff like that?

Here's the common ones.

IDPA- I Don't Practice Anymore

Exp-Expert

SS-Sharpshooter

MM-Marksman

CDP-Custom Defensive Pistol

ESP-Enhanced Service Pistol

SSP-Stock Service Pistol

SO-Safety Officer

FTN-Failure to Neutralize

FTR or is it FDR-Failure To Do Right

You missed :

Ma: Master

SSR: Stock Service Revolver

And it is FTDR (failure to do right) when you have been really, really bad.

I prefer the IDPA translation of : I Don't Practice Anyway.

Saying I don't practice anymore implies that there are peole who used to practice and or knew how to shoot in the first place.  I don't know about you guys but i've RO'ed(oops I mean SO'ed) some matches where I swear the guy on the line has never even loaded a gun before.

JT,

I've been at IDPA matches where shooters have used a holster for the first time in their life ------ and I'm scared every time it occurs.  Odd to think so, but I feel safer at any IPSC match than I do at some IDPA matches.
