The Official Redbrush/WSSC IDPA Thread

If new comp tac holster shows up then will be shooting brand new CDP gun, XDM 5.25" 45 acp bi-tone with all the good stuff added.

Might as well enjoy it before the single stack rule becomes official.

Interesting. SSR - ESR combination	Lead	[-]

Moon clip guns would still have a higher power factor (yet to be named) . I've tried to explain my position to HQ and feel we should be on an equal playing field (minor vs major or speed loaders vs moon clips) and this cannot be done with the combination of SSR & ESR. At some point, someone will have the equipment or gun advantage. From IDPA HQ email I received: We are not going to dump ESR in the cold completely. We are looking at folding back into SSR like it was before. Back before 2005 it was one revolver division which ESR guns ruled. With a higher power factor for moon clip guns we think it will come back to being a skills race, not an equipment one. Maybe by combining the two we will actually achieve a division with enough participation to actually bump up a shooter and be a viable and robust division. This is a sport, which means competition. When you are not competing against anyone, it is just expensive practice for the shooter and realistically it takes up resources, time and energy that could be used for a division that would be attractive to more competitors.

I know there are several ESR shooters locally and even more that were looking to branch out into ESR so that does bite. I can't argue with the logic but it is sad to see an entire division go bye-bye.

That's it, we all got the same canned email that Scott minus the personal touches. It's a done deal.

What logic?, that's what I can't figure out. I'm still not sure how a small division was hurting anybody. The only thing I can put together is that the powers that be didn't want a bunch of no name DMs. Thing is, I know several DMs and none of them could care less.

But....

ESR will still be alive in SSR and SSR will be dominated by 625s. Brilliant move.

Y'all shoot well tomorrow! I'll be in the woods trying to put #6 in the freezer.

Congrats to some topnotch shooters.

How'd everyone like Saturday's match? Aside from having my glasses do too good a job of shielding me from the sun, and virtually all visible light, I had a great time. Great weather for December and Tac Sequence!!!!

Weve officially called it The Best of the best approximation of the Best of the Postal Match!

I thought the match director organized a very good refresher on what to work on in the coming weeks, you have a very bright future once again with those new sunglasses.

Jay wanted our squad to game the table stage because the instructions didn't say that you couldn't stand up. Luckily, I was there to keep an eye on him this time .

Least that is how I remember it.

I think everybody in our squad had fun!!

Freaking Jay! Gamer! He is why we can't have nice things!!!!!!

 

[looney2ns]

I always thought sunglass' were meant to be worn.....when the sun was actually out.

Yeah, I know someone else that tried to game, it bit him on the butt.

If you don't try you never know! Lolol

Now that you have put it together this is all really making sense.

Reminds me, nobody on our squad new why Jim was wearing a cast so we had to start making stuff up. I'm not sure that some of it is even physically possible. Hope it is something that heals fast.

He was pretty cryptic when he spoke about it and never gave the same answer twice...I'm sure nothing you can imagine, even you Grelber, is as hideous as the real reason he was wearing one!

 

[looney2ns]

Jim had a cast? Wow, my SA is worse than I thought.

I don't think it was a cast..maybe an immobilizer??

Ha Ha Ha!........I know the real reason but Jim will never tell, and by the way he shot exceptionally well left-handed Saturday!
