Bear in mind that I'm Canadian...we don't have IDPA here because we have no need to train for self-defense with a firearm. (Excuse me for a moment...hard to type while I'm laughing so hard..)
Anyway..IPSC's all I've got here to maintain handgun skills..I am very much aware that it's not 'real life', and the spectre of standing out in the open in a fixed position hosing down targets is a bit silly. (I was in the British Army for 10 years, including three tours of N. Ireland).
However, that's the name of the game.
And the game dictates that the guy with a 10 round magazine will outscore the guy with the 8 round magazine, no matter how good the guy with the 8rnd magazine is.
I'm not unhappy with IPSC, far from it...I just have a problem with some of the 'rules', which have become more or less redundant.
