Jonb Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Hello all, I am Jonathon from KY. I have recently decided to get back into shooting. I have never done any competitive shooting. I have spent a lot of time on the range for fun and prior profession. I plan to try out USPSA and eventually move into 3 Gun as well. Here is what I already have: P229, MP15 with iron front sight, and that is about it. Any advice would be great ie holsters, belts, etc. I am cruising the forums now. Thanks in advance for any advice.

StraightSh00ter Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Welcome! Practical pistol is a blast. What caliber is the P229? Blade Tech seems to be the popular choice for holster, but there are other brands (Comp Tac, DA/Double Alpha, and Safariland and Uncle Mike's are less expensive but still respected). Shooters Connection is a great outlet for shooting gear, and they're in Kentucky. You can't go wrong with just about anything they stock, and you can give them a call or email if you have questions about gear. They're shooters too, and great to deal with. *Just read their return policy before you open anything. They're strict about it, but it's a fair policy. I use the Shooters Connection belt, which is the same as the popular CR Speed for a few bucks less. There are plenty of threads about gear, so definitely hear what others have to say as well. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
