July 09 - Oil Capital IDPA was set up so you could competitively shoot your bug gun. (so the organizer told me - what do i know).
The targets were closer and some guys were shooting with their Kel-Tech, etc. (sp) and revolvers.
I think it is a great idea. Of course guys can shoot whatever they want, you can't make they shoot the bug guns and some people don't actually have them but have the shoot/range set up for closer targets and less round count will be very good.
I have often wondered just how I would do with my 5 shot J frame in a real self defense setting. Sure I have shot it at paper and simulated multiple assilants and distances but it would be nice to be able to shoot IDPA and not get pentalized in your score for using the small gun.
