Mr.Stu

I've beat him on 2 stages in a match a couple of times now. I'm trying for 3. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

It was designed for 1911s to compete amongst themselves but downloaded double stacks are now very popular and winning matches.

You say it can be edited by users. I cannot see how. Can you post some instructions, please?

Ding ding I got it from the proverbial horse's mouth last night. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I challenge you to come to a match when Ken Ortbach is running one of his revolvers. I shoot with him fairly frequently and and he usually beats everyone even with a wheelgun. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I'll talk to Ken. The last person I vouched for, I had to DQ for a safety violation. Also, P-burg on 9/13 is canceled as the MDs are both busy. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I'm sorry to disappoint you but I will have to say no. I will definitely be running the course again in the not too distant future and you would be welcome to join us then. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

That is a place used by a friend of NYMetsFan who I don't have a NJGF name for. He has his own slot and his friend is listed as his +1. There are 7 people who booked via these forums. Prior to that, this event was going to go ahead with no-one from NJGF but a bunch had to drop out when we were forced to changed the date to Labor Day weekend. There are still 5 people from the original list making 12 total. If I go above that number I feel there will be too much standing around for each student and not enough direct involvement.

No problem. I don't do facebook so I did not post anything on there. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Sorry, you are too late for this class. However, due to popular demand I will be running it again - maybe in a month or so. I'll start another thread when I have set a date. A third mag would be very useful for the class and really you need 3 to do a match. IDPA rules only allow a max of 10 rounds in each mag. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

A great resource is www.nepaidpascores.net Walt is in the process of stepping down but for now you can easily find many of the active clubs in the region for IDPA, USPSA, ICORE, etc. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Consider trying your hand at IDPA. There are matches almost every weekend if you're willing to travel a bit. Training courses are obviously a good thing but repetition will build skills that you can call on if/when you need to. IDPA is the International Defensive Pistol Association and was created as an action shooting sport which more closely mimics defensive use of a handgun than USPSA. It is still a game and some of the rules are in contention with some tactical training but it will get you shooting on the move, at multiple targets, under the pressure of having a timer running. Plus it is a heck of a lot of fun. Do a search on youtube to see some footage of the kind of things we get up to. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Why is this so difficult to understand? Hollowpoints are prohibited except for the narrow exemptions. - no argument. Critical Defense/Critical Duty/EFMJ are not hollowpoints. - no argument Dumdum bullets are prohibited except for the same narrow exemptions as hollowpoints. - apparently some comprehension problems with some The Aitken Judge's description of dumdums includes "bullets that expand more than normal". CD/CD/EFMJ are designed to expand more than normal otherwise what is their purpose? Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Free draw to win 3 sets of AR500 armour. Ends today. http://ar500armor400k.pgtb.me/xLMRV/gxDSk?w=27306698&e=66632926 Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I think it was the judge in the Aitken case and the full quote (IIRC) is "that are designed to expand more than normal" which makes regular lead ball and hard ball OK. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I'm in already. It's has been a great match in the past. Sign up with confidence. Stu.

A few other bits about me that I didn't post above. I've been shooting for over 30 years, handguns for over 20. I had to take a long break because the politicians in England decided that they had to "do something" after a school shooting in Dunblane, Scotland. I came to the US in 2007, got my green card in 2012 and within a month had my FPID and pistol permits in hand (props to Mountainside PD). I got into IDPA starting June, 2012 at Somerset IDPA (hosted at SCFGPA) and really liked it. As I knew how to shoot pretty well already I first classified as SSP Sharpshooter in November 2012. I am now classified Expert in SSP, ESP and CDP and have been certified as a Safety Officer. I have become more and more active in helping run Somerset IDPA and have been acting Match Director twice. I hope that was the kind of thing you were looking for.

Thank you folks! We are now full for August 30th. If you would like us to run this event again, please post your interest below. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

PK90 knows this inside out. I wholeheartedly endorse his advice to ignore SOG. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Done. I never thought this would fill up so fast. Maybe I should be charging more. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

No issues at all. All IWB hip holsters are IDPA legal. Welcome aboard. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2
