Oh this wasn't my first idpa rodeo

 

[Coach]

I shot my carry gun from an IWB holster. No gaming here today. But at the match I had three magazines on me and less rounds because of the rules such as division capacity.

Jake was faster and I blame the vest or lack thereof. I don't do vests at all unless I am on a boat.

 

[jakemartens]

I shot my nowlin 1911 in 45, same gun I shot all those idpa matches with since 2002.

Original bladetech holster, and double Wilson leather mag pouch.

I did not use my cheater seven round mags, used 8 round Wilson's. The vest was a now classic Royal Robbins vest, pre 5.11. I used to have velcroed inside of it plastic inserts and weighted to swing open faster. Vest is 13 years old, I got it zipped up tonight, but almost passed out

It was fun'ish.

I plan on shooting some more this year.

What are cheater 7 round mags? And if I shoot an IDPA match, will I be at a disadvantage since all I have are 7 rounders?

I think he is referring to be able to drop his mags quicker after going to slide lock.


Maybe some day I'll play too

I may try this some time this year...the problem is that I HATE rules so I'll probably 0 every stage

IDPA requires you to load your gun to division capacity, if you use 8 rounds mags you will be 8+1 in your 1911.

If you use 7 rounds mags you are 7+1

In IDPA the only time you can drop a mag on the ground and leave it is if the mag and the gun are empty allowing to do a slide lock reload, which is faster than a reload with retention.

So using one less round allows you the ability to reload from slide lock more often

We need pictures of Jake with his vest zipped up!

Now Jake is doing "selfies".

Can we get one with a "fishy" face too

 

[Cowboy1629]

Are those blow out panels in the back??? Or I mean expansion panels that have been over expanded????

Send Mike a PM if you plan to show any skin in a picture. Otherwise the forum police will ban you for sure!

I recommend using your SS gun and shooting to slide lock as much as possible. You should try it.

Just thinking out loud....

I wonder what would happen if all these Riley guys really got going in IDPA. I wonder...
Right now, I have two IDPA clubs within reasonable driving distance. Riley is closer than either by a fair margin...
Man, I wonder what could happen if all these Riley guys wanted to shoot more IDPA...
I wonder...

We are just looking for a leader.... I will help set up when I can.

This is where I started my competition shooting Oct 2000 when riley had idpa matches. If someone would step up to be a match director it would be great.

Between wildcat and redbrush there use to be a regional idpa and a state idpa match every year. But that went away in 2005.

Just need people that want to make it happen

Thanks. So it sounds like I am not necessarily at a disadvantage with only having 7 round mags.
