New to handguns (1000 rounds), but I thought I would give IDPA a try with a local club. The turnout was smaller than usual, about 20 folks. My goals: safety, no DQ, hit the targets and don't worry about time. The folks, all of whom were club members, were very friendly; I had a great time and am definitely joining the club for the monthly IDPA and steel matches.
My accuracy was fine except for one stage: engage three targets on the right with strong hand, 3 targets on the left with weak hand and 3 center targets normal grip, head shots. You were limited to 9 rounds. I wasn't any better than -2 strong hand, 0 weak hand and 0 on the head shots. I really need to practice strong hand shooting.
Now I've got to remove the mag disconnect. I did use a single round magazine to top off during make ready and the same magazine "drop" the striker.
Now to figure out how to get my wife into IDPA; I know she'll do steel with our 22's, but I don't know if she'll go for the whole holster thing.
