IDPA is peaking my curiosity how do i get involved? Do i need to be a member to practice compete?
Have you atteneded our practices yet? They are the first and third Monday night of each month. Don't need to be a member to practice.

OWB holster?
Outside the Waistband Holster. Not required, you can use an IWB (Inside the Waistband Holster).
You can use an IWB, but it will be much easier with an OWB.
Have you thought about trying USPSA shooting??? We have practices every Wed. night in Harvard...
Come on Pete... no one can afford those guns/equipment.

Last I remember you were using the SAME gun for IDPA and USPSA...
You are no fun. I thought at least you'd take a shot at me for the "loud" gun comment.
Plus IDPA guns aren't as loud.
Stop being such a wuss!!! HAHA Are you afraid when it thunders out? Do you hide under the covers??? HAHA
When we meeting up at the range??? I'm thinking of heading down there on Monday since I can't go Wed.
LOL- Hey I'm working up to it. I stepped up from my really HOT 9mm loads to .45ACP. But I have bad fillings so I'm not ready for open guns yet. Plus... I really do like the concealment garments.
Madball- they are both really fun. I do both. They each have their pros and cons. Like Pete said- anything you can shoot in IDPA you can shoot in USPSA... not always the other way around though. Both groups have some really great people to hook up with.
What do you have? What are your interests?
I have a glock 21 and a S&W 581. I am a trap shooter by trade and with that winding down for the winter I'm looking to shoot my pistols. I punch paper on a regular basis and like to think Im pretty good but I want to do more than stand there and pull a trigger. Thanks guys!

Like you I use to put holes in paper all the time and I thought I was a pretty good shooter. Then I started shooting action shooting with steel and then started shooting USPSA. It opened my eyes to how underskilled I was. After a few years I've aquired skills I never thought possible and shooting is SO MUCH MORE FUN NOW!!!
