The Official Redbrush/WSSC IDPA Thread

I havent seen any of the classifier scores from Saturday. Can someone please forward them to me when you have time?

I think Steve is still working on them. He emailed me asking a question about my score sheet yesterday evening so I'd expect something today possibly.

 

[Big J]

Ok thanks. I was reading some of the past post and thought you guys had yours on there. I didn't put my email on the sheet this time, I was just making sure I didnt screw up that too.

You had that missing umbrella on your mind, didn't you? LOLOL

Now that you mention it, the answer is obvious!!

Almost hurt myself on a reload in a house stage. Started to move since I was behind cover, caught myself mentally but already had forward momentum, ended up doing an old man weirdo ballet thing where the left toe just barely held the ground long enough for the slide to close. According to the squad, that which is seen can not be unseen.

More importantly, Sellersburgh has a USPSA match Sunday, they do it right in my opinion. Anybody who had fun at the Kolonel would likely have fun Sunday (and not have to get up so durn early).

I'm keeping an eye out for those Hello Kitty umbrellas so you are less likely to loan them out

Those types of moves hurt the worst LOL it's hell getting old.

I never noticed the similarities until now...skinny, pasty and flop around a lot.

So now that the big tourney season is over is anyone taking a break and busting out anything new? I've got an fever that either a .45 or more cowbell will be able to cure!

Well, since you asked I think I've made my plans to run in ESR next year known, but today as I was cleaning my range bag out and stripping moonclips I found I had about 150 rounds of 45acp ready to shoot. I might just run my M&P45 at the next local. These same loads went over the chrony at the Music City Cup clocking in at 180pf, which should be nice and snappy out of a bottom feeder. Don't know if I want to go SSP or CDP with it though. Probably SSP or ESP. When bringing the pain, why not bring it 10 rounds at a time.

Aw, who I am kidding. I'm too cheap to loose that 45 brass

LOL it was weird pulling out the .45s today. Been shooting the 34 for so long everything else feels like a brick!

You got that right, but at least 45 brass is a fair bit easier to see/recover vs 9mm.

I approve this message. Even though the 9mm is all steel, it still doesn't carry that beefiness that the plastic M&P45 does for some reason... it's just more "girthy".

They have more Girth Units than the 9mm versions lol

Wow, never would have picked you for a fan

Here's the 2012 Postal Match: http://www.defensivepistol.org/documents/IDPAPostal2012.pdf

Ya'll have a good time! Unfortunately I won't be at this one. I've got SO obligations at other clubs for the next two weeks. Don't know what I was thinking putting myself down for the opening day of deer season

The 2012 Postal Match has been my favorite of the several I've shot. One year the courses were awful! It was as if the COF designers decided to break every written rule in IDPA and make THAT the Postal Match mission statement or something. This has the bicycle crash stage which I thought was fun... in fact all 4 stages on this one is really good. WSSC will have those 4 plus a couple of Standards so it'll be Mucho Fun-o!

Sweet deal. Just to add to this, Montana Gold has a variety of 124 gr in stock, as well as 147's except those are only 1k quantity, no 3k cases. :/

Anyone know if they drew my name yet for that M&P9?

Also, peeps I've talked to about primers... they'll be here tomorrow.
