What are the IDPA gun size and weight specs for 1911s? Can I buy the "box" somewhere to test myself?

The only "cure" is to get out and learn to do things a different way, but still safely. A beginning shooter at IDPA or IPSC(USPSA) should NOT be running in the first place. The old saying "Do not run before you can walk." should be taken literally in the action shooting sports.What I am waiting for is a cure to all the NRA Gun Safety I got as a child. Don't run with a weapon, load only when the muzzle is pointed down range. and all that jazz.
Then you will have an extremely long wait. No amount of study or practice will completely elminate human error. Nobody cares if you look foolish, we all do at one time or another and you have to start somewhere. Just don't do anything foolishly unsafe. I well recall champion professional shooter Rob Leatham getting lost on a complex drill at the IDPA National Championships and accruing a Procedural Penalty. He just grinned and moved on to the next stage.Or maybe it is that I don't want to look like a fool in front of a bunch of floke who are already at a competative level.
That's the point, you just have to deal with it. It is known as "major power factor" and you are rewarded in the scoring for learning to manage the extra recoil in IPSC and have a competitive division of your own in IDPA.I shoot a full size 1911 and even with some coaching on bdl - tap ing, there is just too much muzzle rise, it seems.
Off my Dillon reloading press.Where do you get the "just a little lighter" loads?
Go to www.uspsa.org and enter your zip code in the Find A Club box on the right of the home page.And where are shoots near Dallas, Texas?
