Torn between 2 guns...

Lol...stop it, you are making me hurt!  I am going to be 41 this year and had to get reading glasses last year, got a bad knee(surgery last year) and have had a bad lower back forever.  I am still going to compete for awhile though.

I know I'm ressurecting a way-dead thread, but (and I should probably be ashamed to admit this), I had NO idea what the IDPA even was until about 15 minutes ago. Now I want to join, but I can't shoot anywhere near well enough to compete. Oh well... Maybe I will be able to watch one sometime...

Anyway, from what I have gleaned in a very quick little read, it seems like the Shadow Custom would be better, as it says "no competition-only firearms". I'm sure that is the least adhered to rule, but still.

      IDPA has 3 classes I think. (I adhere to the "Manely Man Code of Conduct" which says a real man never has to read rules or instructions) So I'm not sure, but I think they have an "off the shelf" class, A modified class, and someother class, (don't ask). IPSC is a hoot and both sports as far as I know have no problem with spectaters. Some of the big shoot offs may charge an entrance fee to everyone, but their locals not so much I believe. I know everyone is welcome to watch at least the local IDPA and the IPSC match's free, at my shooting club.
