I should give you a negative rep point just to annoy you!

I'm going to give you a positive rep for having your first post without the word Glock in it.

I think Dave needs to change his screen name on here from LugNut to GlockNut... He's got issues... I think he's afraid that if he steps up to a metal gun and he doesn't win he won't be able to blame the gun. However, if he's shooting a Glock and doesn't win he can just say it's because it's a cheap ugly gun. HAHA
I do it because it's more fun than standing at a range. My goal is still to not come in last again. Lol
We could pee online for hours, but you are happy and I am happy so that's all that matters to me. Having been a CQB Instructor in the Marine Corps I appreciate some of the little things tactically speaking, about IDPA. But that doesn't mean they are right or the only way to do things, but I tend to think they are. IDPA is more rigid in rules and intended to be closer to real life defense scenarios. Use of cover, retention of magazines, cover garments and equipment of a type that would be appropriate for daily carry are all very closely regulated. No cowboys with arcade racing guns that are not practical. IPSC allows a more free form solution to the scenarios presented. Carry all the ammo you want, reload when and where you want, drop your mags, don't use cover if you don't want to. Very sloppy.
And most importantly, too me, I prefer to not spend thousands of dollars on racing guns that I'll never carry in real life.
In the end, they are both games.
Good luck with yours.....
do you like the G17?? I am looking for a 17, or 19..
Come and shoot with us at WPRC!!!
I appreciate your service with the military. However, if I had to put money on things Supermoto is at a completely different level in shooting that I'm sure you're at. I've never met you and I know nothing of your skill. If you're a great shooter I can still be Supermoto is better. I've met people who are great shooters and I've met people like Supermoto that are amazing shooters.
USPSA has a higher talent pool than IDPA. I like both but prefer USPSA for the higher round counts, better scoring system, and the ability to solve a stage in infinite ways. IDPA has much lower round counts and typically only a few ways to shoot a stage.
I do think IDPA is less intimidating for newer shooters and it's a great sport. USPSA can intimidate newer shooters because the speed at which we are able to shoot at.
Anyways, no pissing contest here just pointing out some of my "OPINIONS."
The only "PROOF" in your statement, if your statement is true, is that recalculating USPSA scores using IDPA standards "MAY" alter the order of finish in any given USPSA match. Not that it would, but that it may.I took a local USPSA match result and recalculated the standing in Production division by applying IDPA's time + points down scoring method.
I took each USPSA's participant's time and added a time penalty calculated as their stage points lost X .5 (IDPA scoring). The guy who took first using USPSA scoring (blazing fast time but many PD) ended third using IDPA scoring.
Proof enough for me that USPSA scoring favors speed over accuracy while IDPA is the inverse.
Yep, speed and accuracy.Both sport require top shooters to get A's or 0 in the shortest amount of time possible
They're both games. Both are fun. The rules are different.
USPSA has a varying Hit factor, target values change depending on the amount of time a stage will take, the points available and the skill of the shooter. IDPA places the same value on all targets, for all shooters. In IDPA it is always worth taking the time to make up a -1 shot, USPSA will depend on the HF of the stage and the shooters ability to make up that points in less time than they are worth.

Not in any IDPA match I've competed in.However, in IDPA you can shoot a stage really slowly and still win.
