			<description><![CDATA[ Hello,
<br>
<br>
I have several of this mag pouch from the MP-Store.com.  These are sold as IDPA approved but I want to get your thoughts regarding the rule that states that
the &quot;front&quot; of the magazine must be covered.  I think this pouch meets the criteria...what do you think?

			<description><![CDATA[ I have loaded rifle ammo for a good decade just not pistol. I have made my mind up I want to give IDPA a shot so I&#39;ve ordered a new STI GP6 in 9mm. I plan
to cast my own bullets and I need a good powder as well I prefer a good ball powder I use Dillon XL 650 for production and a RCBS Rockchucker for development.
any suggestions? ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ <p>Do M&amp;P pistols compete in SSP or ESP?  M&amp;P pistols appear to have a drop sear just like an XD?  Trigger pull, sear drops, stiker releases.  I know
that is what puts the XD in ESP.  Take a look at this video.  There is one for the XD there below it.  Looks the same to me...as I see neither pistol
&quot;cocking&quot; the striker.  All cocking done with the slide action.  Interesting....

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;m new to the forum and I&#39;ve been looking around, but I haven&#39;t seen this covered.  I recently purchased a Model 19 with a 2 1/2&quot; barrel and
am considering getting a cylinder converted to 9mm for use with moon clips in ESR.  Before I go to the expense of the conversion, I want to make sure this is
IDPA legal.  Thanks.

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;ve been shooting an M&amp;P 40 full size for all my matches.
<br>
I just picked up a Glock 34 for IDPA .
<br>
Only problem, no mag holder yet and holster won&#39;t arrive before the match.
<br>
It fits in my Blackhawk holster but is loose. Also mags don&#39;t fit into my mag holster&#39;s.. Any thoughts? ]]></description>

			<link>http://idpaforum.yuku.com/topic/5466/t/sig-p220-help.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I am looking at an all stainless sig p220st.  I am impressed by the accuracy of this gun.  I am thinking it could make a fine choice for me, especially since
its a &quot;deal&quot;.
<br>
I believe it will land squarely in the CDP land, but I was told the sigs are over weight?  The gun is about 32oz with the 4.5&quot; barrel?
<br>
any information is appreciated, I don&#39;t know much more than the icing about sigs.

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi,
<br>
<br>
We have a club that&#39;s close to my house that shoots IDPA matches once per month.  I was thinking about going next month and am trying to decide what to
shoot.  I&#39;m not much of a pistol guy, normally opting for bolt action rifles if I shoot for fun.  That being said, I&#39;m not any more practiced with one
over the other.  Here&#39;s what I have:
<br>
<br>
Browning Hi Power in 9mm
<br>
Kimber 5&quot; 1911
<br>
Glock 22
<br>
Glock 23
<br>

What would you shoot and... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I work on the road and have a chance ot shoot a classifier this coming weekend.
<br>
I have been to 2ea matches and shot in one.
<br>
From what I have read, some say it&#39;s better to shoot a few matches before shooting a Classifacation. Is this true?
<br>
<br>
If I do shoot this weekend, I will be using one of my stoke Glocks.
<br>
If I keep the Glocks, I will be doing some mods to them, but not sure if I can get them done prior to the match.

Do I have to shoot SSP or can I elect to... ]]></description>

			<link>http://idpaforum.yuku.com/topic/5443/t/New-shooter-to-idpa-Carrying-question-.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;m about to attend my first IDPA shoot in McHenry, IL this thursday night.
<br>
<br>
I think I have all my gear concerns covered, however, I have a few questions about the flow of a shoot...
<br>
<br>
there&#39;s a make-ready table, however no ammo is to be handled there... I assume you basically holster up, etc.  and then load up in a seperate section of
the range.
<br>
<br>
my question is... when you holster up, do you holster with a empty mag in the gun, or do you holster empty... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have to say that when I first read about this &quot;safety feature&quot; I thought it was just an over the top, excessive and unneeded.  I then grew to
understand after speaking some LE folks and independent readings that for LE it makes sense, and can give some time in situations.
<br>
I was amazed to that the SR9 is only available to LE with out the disconnect..backasswards.

I know some folks who are shooting IDPA with guns with this feature, and I think its just one of those things... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Ok.  I posed this question the last match, but I don&#39;t think they fully understood what I was talking about. 
<br>
<br>
I bought an HK P-30 and converted it to LEM.  I converted it from V3 to V0,  therefore it is LEM, but still has the decocker in place.  The only reason I can
see for decocking, is if taking the gun apart it safely disengages the lem without pulling the trigger, but mostly it just closes the hole in the back of the
pistol.

Do I have to decock before each stage,... ]]></description>

I think I have narrowed it down to this: http://www.blade-tech.com/Bobby-McGee-Pro-Series-IDPA-PAK-pr-1093.html

<br>
I would like to ask a couple questions of people following my little discourse and if they could make comments about the sights they have used on their pistols
I&#39;d appreciate it. My deal is this: right now this fiber optic front sight / black rear sight seems to be all the rage right now with shooters in several
action shooting sports. What people put on their guns is often influenced by gun writers,... ]]></description>

Comp-tac lockable paddle or belt holster. One question I have that when I look at the picture of the belt holster on their website it seems there is a lot of
space for the belt.    www.comp-tac.com/product_info.php?products_id=66    I&#39;m not talking about the width of the belt (you specify your width) but the
