Re: My First IDPA match with my Shield 9

Ronw,
Welcome to IDPA... It is a fun SPORT. It will help you build critical muscle memory, it will help you with tunnel vision, it will help you shoot on the move and behind cover. I struggle with calling it TRAINING...it is not. There are things in IDPA I would NEVER Do in real life, but it is good Practice.

Do not overlook real TRAINING, as it will help in both Life and IDPA.

Also... I know you said Fobus and Blackhawk. Those can and have failed during matches. Give Bladetech, Comptac both a good look for competitive style mag pouches and holsters. I am even in the process of ordering an Aliengear OWB holster for my carry gun to use during Matches.

I shoot my XD 9 Subcompact at 1 match a month, and any BUG matches. For other Matches, XDM 9mm 5.25. The fun part for me is looking where I ranked. I normally run top 5 in my division/Rank, but try my best to end up top 3 in accuracy.
