IDPA invite

I like the fact that you can show up to a match with a bone stock handgun, three magazines, and a hundred rounds of ammunition and be competitive.

One of the founding principles of IDPA was to test the individuals skill in competition, not the equipment.

Hmmmm.

My USPSA Single Stack division and IDPA CDP division gun/gear are identical. Same for USPSA Production and IDPA SSP.

My CDP is a STI Trojan in 45 and SSP is a Glock 17 or Steyr M9.

I'd have to check my calendar, but I don't think there was a single stack division or a production class back when IDPA was introduced.

But, I see your point. There are USPSA divisions now that make it easier for those on a budget to compete. Wasn't really the case back in the day though.

There were two USPSA divisions back in the day. Open/Unlimited and Limited/Tactical. There was a Carry gun division for a while but it never took off. Actually there was one division for a long time. Just a heads up shooting match. Pick your poison and shoot it.

Production came out about 15 years ago and single stack has been around for a while also.

IDPA and IPSC are both good ways to get better at shooting under stress. Neither can replace actual training and neither should be viewed as real world training.
