Indoor Action Pistol Competition is a great way to hone handgun shooting skills in a safe and fun environment. Action Pistol involves many of the skills defensive shooters value including drawing from a holster, shooting and reloading on the move, and shooting from behind cover. Because of the dynamic nature of the sport, safety is the highest priority. It is required that shooters be proficient in the fundamentals of firearm safety, especially muzzle control and trigger discipline.

Action Pistol is a sport enjoyed by shooters worldwide, men and women, junior shooters and senior shooters. With a commitment to safety and a little bit of effort, anyone can begin shooting Action Pistol.

Matches are held on the first and third Thursday of each month.

How is this different from USPSA/IDPA? Just curious.

Got videos?

 

[jwamplerusa]

Sorry, I don't have any videos.

The matches are based on NRA Action Pistol, but are not sanctioned. There is no cover garment requirement and things like Velcro competition belts are acceptable.

There are a wide range of participant skill levels with one of the goals being to bring in novices and raise their comfort and skill levels.

This is a fun match. I think of it as IDPA without the equipment rules.

 

[Tanfodude]

Ok thanks. Might be a good idea to get videos to promote it and any new comers will get an idea what it's like. I'll keep this in mind and try it as you guys are closer to me.

Is there a way to register or just show up? Is minor/major a power factor? Mag restrictions?

[jshaver]

Just show up. Pretty much no equipment restrictions. You should at least 3 magazines. The was a new shooter last time who had no mag holders.

I hope to the able to participate in the January matches. I do have a couple of questions.
1. Is there a magazine capacity limit?
2. Is it a cold range and will they have a safe area?
3. Are abdomen IWB holsters permitted?

Thanks in advance for the input.

[Mike Elzinga]

Can you explain the course of fire a bit more? Im very interested but i think I may be misunderstanding what this match is. If it is similiar to the Bianchi version of Action Pistol then I would bring a different set of gear than for something more uspsa style.

 

[peterock]

Think outlaw IDPA/USPSA blended

 

[longbeard]

Short course stages. Idpa scoring. Idpa rules, but no fault lines or reload rules. It's a simple match for having fun and accessible to anyone. Nothing here to over think. Show up with something and shoot it.

 

[Mike Elzinga]

Thanks for clearing that up, some confusion because that’s not like NRA action pistol at all, sounds like a good time, just wanted to be sure, as someone with NRA action pistol gear would have been out of place.

Honest question - about how many folks typically shoot and how many stages? Familiar with Tim's. Talked to a buddy who went twice... once he said was super great, but the other time he said there was a lot of down time and he maybe shot 3 stages for the $20? super good new thing and cool people though he said. Wondering how the format worked?

 

[jwamplerusa]

The typical match is five stages set across two pistol bays with a squad in each bay. Squads shoot a bay, switch shoot, and set up next stage, then usually combine for fifth stage after the last bay switch.
