IPSC Standard

Recommended Posts

My only experience is US IPSC Nationals once, but looking around it seems pretty much everyone was using either the stock black STI magwell or the DVC magwell. Also, it seemed STI mags with the Dawson angled basepads were the most popular option.

A standard magwell from STI will work for most. If you have a metal grip, you may have to ask for the IPSC compliant version from that manufacturer as you gun with the magazine inserted has to fit in the IPSC box so you will have to use either 124 or 126mm magazines with the angled base pads on them in order to fit. Depending on the size/brand of tube and spring/follower set up, you should be getting 17/18 rounds in the mag +1.  Don't forget that your rig has to be set up pretty much like USPSA production division when it comes to placement and you should be good.  Too bad you don't live further north, as you could practice a bit by shooting in Canada. Everything is L10 there but it is IPSC rules besides that...…...

 

Some of the biggest differences are no drawing and dry firing on multiple targets, no walkthroughs with aiming devices in your hands (almost anything can be considered that) and 3,2,1 stage set up/round counts. Typically there will be a weak hand only stage, a strong hand stage and somewhere you will probably have to go prone to shoot something. Much more technical than USPSA matches as they are lower round counts. 

 

Good luck with your gear and match!!!! Go, have fun and do well.

Yea air gunning with a patch gun or water bottle will get you a talking to from the RO.  NO crossing fault lines and NO sight pictures during LAMR.

 

but production guys can use race holsters and no weight issues with Shadow 2 CO
