DblTap,
I'm not surprised your normal IPSC shooters prevailed in your 'Single Stack' match - even using the retentive IDPA holster & mag positions rules on your 8 round nuetral stages.
See, IDPA is not just a holster position and mag position rule trap. IDPA has four Divisions. Revolvers have to be able to compete fairly in a stage, too, within their division.
IDPA is about providing a place for T. Average Citizen to come out to the range with the inherited revolver/whatever and test/improve one's skills with their weapon of choice amongst shooters using the same kind of equipment.
We win nothing when we shoot IDPA matches, but we most always learn something.
The best lesson I ever learned from running IDPA vs. IPSC matches is that there is a whole bunch of closet gun owners/shooters out there who have been waiting for the opportunnity to come out and just test their skills against others using like equipment.
And often these newbies are VERY good shooters who have never before attracted to a competition shooting forum.
To each his own; and more firepower to all of them!
