Looks like it IS WP&R, and there is one on January 14. Maybe I will show up and shoot. Thanks!

Watch a few videos so you know what to expect.
Most clubs require you to sign up ahead of the match, very few allow walk ins.
You just said "Show up and shoot", did you not?
I'll ask a few people.
Thanks again.

Sorry, what I meant is you can show up with any handgun, if you don't have the correct holster just let them know. I have seen IDPA guys show up to shoot USPSA to try it, the RO had them start at the low ready since an IWB holster is not allowed.
As far of registering or not prior to the shoot depends on each club. Some are fine with it, some are not.
WP&R is a VERY small venue for USPSA. Take any match there with a grain of salt, but you’ll at least get a ‘feel for it’.
I showed up with a beretta 92fs and a Blackhawk Serpa holster and pissed off a lot of people…I didn’t shoot my f***ing leg off and the pants shitters never admitted they were cucks for thinking someone could actually use their own holster.
Bring at least 50 extra rounds of ammo than the course of fire calls for. Show up with your gun unloaded and in a case. There will be a gay ass ‘safety table’ that you have to holster up (empty) at. Most USPSA matches are ‘cold ranges’.

Just like broc says…at a match!
They’re a LOT of fun. Most of the folks there will help you out and explain everything.
I know nothing about IDPA.
USPSA action pistol is simple. OWB holster, a few mags, sign up and shoot. There are a lot of videos on YouTube going into detail on the different divisions.
Steel challenge is pretty much the same, except you can use a .22 and don't need a holster for it.
Steel challenge you don't move. Action Pistol you move.
Practiscore has the upcoming matches.
Let people know you are new, let the RO know and they will help you out. But do a little bit of research on your own and at least watch a 101 video on YouTube.
WPRC puts on a great IDPA match. They don’t do USPSA there.
I haven’t shot a match since October - would love to make the WPRC match but this baby thing complicates things lol.

Sig is starting to have IDPA/USPSA matches. But one is on a Wednesday night and the other is a Thursday night. That’s tough during the week even if I didn’t have a baby lol.
Haven’t shot at Sig in a few years. Awesome facilities.

Stop using your baby as an excuse.
Grab your bag, when the wife asks where are you going yell "MGTOW" and go shoot.
She will love you more knowing she has a strong, independent man that will take care of his family.
It’s a lot of fun and you meet a lot of great people.
Just found the thread where I first started asking about IDPA matches and what gear I need etc. 8 years ago already. Been hooked since.
Woburn Sportsmen's Association IDPA Inaugural!

But for a more recent thread you could post in here for questions etc. Figured I’d avoid hijacking this Megathread lol
First IDPA competition!
Any advice out there about first time IDPA competition ? I know it’s all about time and accuracy and safety, but should my concentration be on hitting targets or speed the first time around ? Or just finishing a stage without any major catastrophe.

Thank you, Andrew. This is totally something I want to get into in the future.
Way off topic here guys....
But since we are talking about WPRC I was an active member until I divorced the Secretary's God daughter. Magically after that I never got my renewal application in the mail... must have gotten lost in the mail.

Quite a few guys on here have mentioned it being good. I bought some awhile ago , but haven't tried it out yet.
As in no one aside from the person actively shooting is carrying condition 1.
Buddy just bought 50 boxes of 9mm for $9.99 at his range in Colorado.

Decent range ammo for sure. I've had no issues with what I've shot, although it wasn't much.

Yes. I’m not aware of any clubs that allow loaded firearms during a USPSA/IDPA match - unless you’re shooting a stage. Everyone else is unloaded until instructed by the RO

So I'm going to order some 7.62x39 and am wondering whether the Barnaul 700 round spam can or Belom 480 round case is a better buy/round. Any thoughts? Metal vs brass
AKs eat steel. Get the Russian stuff.
I just sold 730 brass x39 cases for $100 minus $14 for shipping. I probably could have got more but wanted a quick sale. So that's roughly 12 cents a case. Subtract 12 cents off the Belom and I'd say brass is cheaper/better buy. I'm also NOT a prime member.
That being said, my AK, SKS, and AR x39 shoot any of the commie steel stuff without issue. But going forward I'll probably buy brass x39 ammo as it will be cheaper once I sell the brass.
