[QUOTE="ldp4570, post: 697103, member: 5168"] That may be true, but my thinking on it is that IDPA has gotten away from what it was intended to be, which is a way to improve your combative firearms skill. I understand they don't want someone out there shooting powderpuff loads, but to have the standard loaded or +P loaded .38 classed as under powered is just silliness on their part. Watching and participating in some of the competitions when I was still in Georgia, I noticed that it was gearing itself right back to the old IPSC style of competition. I dropped out of that and started making the drive back to Ft. Benning once a month to start back competeing in the Combat pistol matches there. Their matches were geared more towards actual combat, and CQB in an urban environment. Plus they had both day and night matches. I started shooting in these in 1994 when I returned from my last tour in Germany. These matches, and training were put on by USAMU. They still have these matches, and if one is during my trips back to Georgia to visit family I always make the run down there to shoot. You do have to be active or retired to shoot in these, and you are shooting against some of the best from USAMU there, but they are a blast!!!!! [/QUOTE]
