I never understood the mentality of "your a fool to think IDPA is training". I think your a fool to not think it's training. Sure it may not be tactical training, but it is most definitely fundamental training. Police and soldiers will get different tactical training but the fundamentals will be the same.

Training - Definition
1. (n.) the process of bringing a person, etc, to an agreed standard of proficiency, etc, by practice and/or instruction
