GoldBattery talked me into trying IDPA.  It's my first outing and meant to try to find a holster this week but work and personal schedule just hasn't allowed it.

 

I would like to shoot my CZ P01.  Would anyone who will be shooting there tomorrow be willing to let me borrow their holster and mag holders? 

 

I also have a CZ 75B or SR1911 I would use if someone has holster & mag holder for those but I'm most comfortable with the P01.

I can help you out with a 1911 holster and double mag pouch. Do you have enough mags?

Thanks Pizza Bob, I'll bring my SR1911 in addition to my P01.  I have 2 mags.  How many do i need?

Have no fear. I got you covered. Bring your two, but you probably will only be able to use one of them. IIRC, the mags that ship with the gun were one seven and one eight. For idpa all mags must have the same capacity. Use your seven as your Barney mag. I'll bring a few more eights.

 

Adios,

Thank you sir.

For 1911. You should probably have 4 mags. Correct ?

With mags holding 8 or more, 3 mags is sufficient. Under 8 and you're permitted 3 on the belt and 1 in the gun.

BIG thank  you to Pizza Bob for allowing me to borrow one of his holsters, mag holders and extra mags so I could compete in my first IDPA event.  His generosity only goes to reinforce my belief that gun owners are some of the nicest and friendliest people you'll meet.

 

Also thanks to those who helped me navigate some of the courses.  It was greatly appreaciated.

 

Thanks to the safety officers, especially Mr. Stu....I promise I'll slow down next time!   

 

Lastly, thanks to Golf Battery for inviting me and pushing for me to try it!

 

 

 

Thanks everyone.
