I shoot IPSC with a Ruger P89. As mentioned, you can't use a mag with more than 10 rounds in it, so I chose to save my standard capacity mags and bought six klinton mags. If you are really trying to win an IPSC match, you need to buy a racegun. If you are going to have fun, and do the best you can then why not a 9mm. I had shot IPSC years ago and shot a stock 1911. So I knew how much practice I was going to do and how much of a beating the gun was going to take. I had this P89 in my safe and didn't really shoot it much, so I decided this was the perfect venue for it. Rugged as hell, more than adequate accuracy, and I wouldn't be wearing out some of my more valuable pistols. I have moved up the standings every match so far.

In the books you have read How the British Regulars fired and fled, How the farmers gave them ball for ball, From behind each fence and farmyard wall, Chasing the redcoats down the lane, Then crossing the fields to emerge again Under the trees at the turn of the road, And only pausing to fire and load.
