Crap. That ^^^ was intended for the chat thread. Not this one.

I think it sounds awesome to drunk posting in IDPA threads, I am, I do...

Forget just IDPA threads. I'm talking about a drunk tank for mods to limit all threads and/or members to.

It may be a badge of shame for some, but others will find a happy home.

Out of 321 pistols only 16 in .40 (unless i miscounted) does IDPA have power factor or equivalent

SSP, ESP = 125000 pf
CDP=165000 pf

I think revolver is 115000 pf

Yes... but its not calculated like USPSA and doesn't change scoring to " minor" etc.

The intent is to ensure factory level power.....never seen a chrono at a club match... but you wont sneak cat sneezers at a major.... chrono, gun gets weighed and checked against the box etc.

On the club level.... stock guns and simple guns work fine

We need a drunk tank thread.

Everyone posting intoxicated needs to be pushed to this thread. We currently call it our "Chat" thread, but it needs a different name on the weekends.

But really the reason IDPA gets trolled so much is because IDPA shooters are so easily trollable.

If you come on here and say that USPSA shooters are just a bunch of gamers who wouldn't be able to shoot without our race gear, most of us would just go "LOL YUP."

But whenever people make fun of IDPA, even for things that are legitimately comical, every IDPA shooter wants to have a Very Special Episode where we all group hug and agree never to make fun of fishing vests ever again.

No special holster required for USPSA. Take whatever you have as long as it's safe. USPSA is way more fun. IDPA only simulates real carry situations if you have a gunfight with 9 people in walmart while wearing your Glock 34 OWB and 10 round mags and weighted photography vest with patches all over it and you don't want to have to buy any more mags after the gunfight. They frown on things like, I don't know, using your Kahr P9 in an IWB holster and a t-shirt as a concealment garment. Something about "we don't recommend" and "unsafe".

Really? It's sad that you are so negative about something you don't do.

A few facts would be refreshing. Other people ask how... And blowhards like you rant in discouragement.

Not every wants the atleticism USPSA offers and for some IDPA is the sport offered locally

I've shot both.... Most major sponsored shooters shoot both. What's your malfunction ?
