IPSC and IDPA competition

"Running the courses slowly until I get in the groove" is an excellent way to approach competitive shooting!!

I've shot both disciplines occassionally at the local level since the first IPSC club began in this area in 1977.

I'm a cop and almost always compete with whatever my current duty gun is. Most often recently I shot with a Sig 226 in 9mm. Once in a while I would compete or reshoot with my Beretta 92FS, which was my duty gun as an SP in the ANG. (I actually shot slightly better with the Beretta, I think because the axis of the bore is slightly lower in relation to your hand than with the Sig. The Sig has a scootch more muzzle whip).

The Beretta would work fine in "production" class in IPSC and "stock service pistol" class in IDPA. 9mm ammo is CHEAP right now, so you could afford to shoot it a LOT to develop your proficiency. Beretta also makes a dandy .22 conversion unit for the model 92 for cheap practice.
