I have been shooting IDPA for several years now and have always wanted to get to an IPSC match, but with shooting IDPA 3 times a month and action rifle (SFDCC) once a month my shooting plate is pretty full.
The local IPSC club has a Single Stack match a couple of weeks ago. It was damn hot, but the stages were alot of fun. I wasn't terribly thrilled with the "try to trick the shooter" type stages but I can understand their merit, and unfortunately people work them into IDPA as well.
Overall I had a good time and enjoyed the match. I like the fact that IPSC appears to be pushing this single-stack class and it's something that almost all IDPA CDP shooters will already have the gear for.
I will certainly be back, and am even considering forgoing one of the IDPA matches I shoot a month and replacing it with IPSC.
I have certainly come to the conclusion that it's not about one being better than the other, but simply that they are different.
