[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1215209, member: 1132"] Well I just got to this thread because I've been busy shooting and working the ProAm at USSA. Doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in a BUG (backup gun) class or shoot, but I'm game if some people want to do one (a fee for my time is not necessary). I've carried a S&W 442, G-26, P-32, PM9, P-230, 3913, G-19/23, etc., in ankle rigs, pocket holsters and IWB. My current carry guns are the 3913, PM9 and P-32. In cooler weather I'll switch back to a mid-size Glock. The P-32 is carried as a second gun, or primary if I have to stop somewhere between work & home (carry at my work is against federal law). Andy is correct, I have run the P-32 at a regular IDPA match. IIRC, I came in 18th out of 40 shooters and tied for lowest points dropped (if you're gonna shoot someone with a .32, you'd better do it well). The little guns can be shot accurately if you work at it. I don't think a lot of people shoot their small carry guns enough, mainly because the don't shoot them as well. They prefer the gratification they get with the accuracy of their bigger pistols. That is definitely a mistake. Sure, you may consider the little gun a belly buster, but what if you find yourself in a situation where you NEED to shoot someone and they're just beyond the range you feel comfortable shooting to? You'll wish you'd practiced a little more with the gun in your pocket. :( [/QUOTE]
