Won a pistol match!
 

So after 10 years off from shooting in handgun comps, a friend talked me into trying it again. Really fun! Action-style with bad guys, hostages and moving targets, all on the clock. Just a little local match, nothing big, but it felt good to be under pressure again...a great way to spend a Saturday morning and $20.

They finally got the results posted --- I didn't expect to come in 1st at all:

Questions... in doors or out, automtic or revolver, details please...I'd like to do something like that. THX

You destroyed them nice job.

Outdoors, four different stages (scenarios), various start positions (low ready, holster draw, gun on table). Auto with 10rd mag limit (makes mag changes mandatory). I used a Beretta 92FS and an HK USPc. Figure about 20-25 rds per stage tops.

You could shoot it with a wheelgun, but that would add some time due to more reloads.

Ideally, you would shoot with a 40S&W or larger, as my 9mm required additional shots on a couple steel poppers.

The Production Pistol matches are really all about getting experience and they welcome new shooters. Next season I'll be shooting as many of the Saturday matches as I can.

It's a very safe environment and the range officers were all really cool.

Awesome, sounds like fun.

Winning a 'pistol match' is more impressive when it's the kind you can only lose once. :p


Impressive regardless though. Nice job dude. I wish I could get out there with you. I miss qualifying with a pistol in the Army, I didn't get to do it nearly as much as I would have liked.

Hopefully I'll have my rifle handy for that kind of pistol match....
