Thread: Any IPSC shooters?

My competition pistol, from Paul Liebenberg:

My dad was one of the first. He started out shooting but retired when I was born and just worked a few meets after that.

One of these days, I'd like to get started with IPSC.

Do it, tons of fun. You can get crazy with all the equipment but that's really not necessary. Just a simple 9mm, a holster and some magazine pouches and you're good to go for "Production" division.

I liked shooting Steel Challenge matches, they were a lot more economical. They're also very fun.

Steel Challenge is a fantastic competition. Lots of fun, great training and you're right, cheaper than IPSC, which goes through a ton of ammo. You really have to roll your own in IPSC. I load .40 and .45 in a Dillon 650.

What does a IPSC taste like?

Im thinking about running some mixed steel matches at my local range. I dont own any auto pistols but I figure I can run pistol portions slowly with my wheel gun and make up time with the scatter gun!
For anyone interested im running a S&W M36 3" and a Remington 870

I spent two of the last three Saturdays on the range, shooting IPSC.
I'm one of the few that uses a duty holster, not a dedicated IPSC rig.

And of course a single-stack 1911, instead of a racegun.

Yes, I had a good time

I run production class with SIG Sauer P226. Don't get caught up with the equipment too much....you're better off spending money on proper training.
