I shoot IDPA at this time. These work very well for me.

The most shot firearm is a S&W model 19 or 66. Both are .38 special/.357 magnum. I use .38 +P loads in competition. 125 gr. tc fmj. at 1000 fps.


The second most used is a Browning HiPower in 9mm. 124 gr. fmj, at 1100 fps.

And finally comes the Colt Gold Cup in .45 acp. 200 gr. LSWC at about 900 fps.

.45 ACP for both IPSC and IDPA. I'm going to shoot some 9 and 10 this year, but it will still be 90% .45.

I started off in IDPA with a full sized 1911 with a DA trigger in CDP, using 230 grain ball ammo at 850 fps. I have used a Commander model once using a 185 gr winchester jhp sitting on 9 grains of aa#5 at nearly 975 fps. I use chip MCCormick mags and Colt mags.

Most times i'm shooting an FEG hi power with 115 gr ball ammo by UMC at 1135 fps and I use a mix of factory, mil surplus and ramline magazines.

One of the nice things about this set up is that I can use my galco slide holster for all three of these guns, and my AMS cordura and velcro magazine pouch can hold either single or double stack mags securely and comfortably.

IPSC, 38 Super(TJ) open. 40 Limited. 9x19 Production, 45ACP revolver and *once* 454 Casull.

IDPA, 9x19 SSP, 38 Super(TJ) ESP, 45 CDP.

Steel, 9x19.

Single Stack Classic, 40.

3-gun IPSC/SOF, 223 rifle, 12ga shotgun, 40 pistol, 6x284 Precision Rifle.

Bullseye, 45 ACP, 22lr and .177 airgun.

Skeet, 12 & 28ga.

Thats all I have time for. When I figure out how to squeeze more range time in a day, I will add more calibers and 1050 toolheads.

IDPA SSP: Glock 23 .40 *&*
IDPA SR: Ruger Security Six .38 special
IDPA ESP: Browning Hi Power 9mm

IPSC Limited 10: STI Trojan 1911 .45 ACP


That's it for now, but I might shoot my Beretta 92 in the IPSC production class sometime too. And I might use the Trojan in IDPA CDP if I feel like it.

My open pin gun is a 45. For steel I use a 9mm. For stock on pins I'm building an STI 5.1 in 40SW. If I really want to wack something hard I use my 460 Rowland. It's fun on pins but overkill.
For the Glock matches I use a stock 17. In revolvers on pins I use 38 spl. cases loaded with 230gr. lead logs. On steel or ICORE I use 38 spl. cases and 125 gr Rainers.
