Okay, so I'm at the local USPSA match this weekend. There's a guy there who is shooting a USP compact out of an IWB holster. First stage, when he draws his gun, he turns so he is facing down the 180. He draws, keeping the muzzle more or less in a safe direction, but freaking out everyone...

I compromised and got my XD9 a few months back intending to use it in USPSA Production and a little random shootin' at the range. I got a smokin' deal on a maybe-used-hard-to-tell gun (I stripped it next to a NIB one, and mine actually looked a little newer!) and have so far been pretty happy...

Tell me about your experiences with them? I called them up early this afternoon because the roll pin right in front of the rear sight on my XD9 broke (a small fragment popped out). The woman I talked to said she had to talk to a technician and would call me back. A few hours go by with no...

Hey all, I've got the rifle bug. Not three months after buying my first weapon ever (Springfield XD 9mm), I already want a rifle... nay, NEED a rifle :) I'm soliciting suggestions from all of you who know much, much more about these things than I do... what is a good, inexpensive rifle...

So, I'm back. All things considered, a good, fun, safe day. I've got my shiny new certification card, a bunch of empty brass, and one dirty gun (and 5 dirty mags!) The first stage (for my squad) was the classifier, Mob Job (link to diagram). Wish I had some time to warm up before the...

Hey all, My first USPSA match is tomorrow morning... I'll be shooting in production with the following gear: Springfield XD-9 Gunmate Ambidextrous nylon hip holster (my Fobus isn't here yet, dammit) 2x Uncle Mike's Kydex Double Stack Dual Mag Pouches 4x 9mm mags 1x .40 mags (stripper...

Okay, so I've been shopping for a pistol for USPSA (Production) for quite a while... couple months, it seems. Been back and forth, but usually coming down to just these few... Walther P99 Glock 17/34 Springfield XD Perhaps a Kimber or some other 1911 (eh, I'd go limited if I could afford...

So, I'm over at one of the shops today, talking to the guy about what 9mm I should get. I tell him that I want to spend under $500. He tells me to turn around, and when I turn back there are 5 guns sitting on the counter. Beretta 92FS Glock 17 Glock 19 Sig 229 (maybe 228) H&K USP He...

Hey all, Since you've always been so incredibly helpful, I thought I'd impose once again for more advice. I want to get into IPSC. I need advice on what gun to buy. My primary criteria is price. I'm probably not going to be carrying this pistol for defense, nor will I likely keep it...

Yeah, still a stupid newbie. Apologies in advance to anyone who rolls their eyes at the simplicity of this question :) I'm curious about person-to-person sales. I know that if I found someone in my state who wanted to sell me a gun, I could just give them the cash and they could give me the...

Hey all, So I'm having a really hard time finding much in the way of competitive shooting in Oregon. There's a few clubs here and there that I've been able to find websites for (ie, Albany Rifle/Pistol Club), but not a whole lot else. Any Oregonians/Washingtonians or anything else know...

First, let me tell you about me. I'm a VERY liberal Democrat. However, I like guns, I think they are fun to shoot and I enjoy competitive shooting. I am not interested in carrying or keeping a gun for personal protection, but I have no problem with other people doing so. So... my future...

Is anyone aware of anywhere (preferably near Oregon :)) where a person can rent a gun for an IDPA or IPSC match? I really want to try that style of shooting out, but don't want to drop 500+ on a gun for something I may not even like. If this is a stupid question, then I'm sorry :) I'm new...

So, I'm after a .22. I shoot competitively, so it needs to be relatively competition-grade. I would like to spend under $500. That being said, here's what I'm thinking: Sig/Hammerli Trailside (Target Model, 6" barrel) Walther P-22 POSSIBLY a S&W 41 I have serious doubts that the...
