New to match shooting and would like to start. I have a 9mm Ruger P 85 and 3 clips. What else do i need and what class would I shoot. Thanks |

A decent holster, mag holders and a good attitude with a regard for safety. Actualy, if you don't have a mag holder and wanted to dig mags out of your pocket, that would work, it is just slow. If you don't have a nice holster, you can start off with a cheesey Uncle Mikes nylon gun bucket and save your pennies for something better. The number one thing you should bring is an open mind and a good attitude. Things that make life easier are good ear protection, a good cap, sunglasses and some gatorade to stay hydrated. Your P85 will go in SSP (Stock Service Pistol) All the rules can be found here Here is a web page for Collin County IDPA with good info for new shooters. Look at the links at the bottom as well.

Thats actually what I use, they are IDPA legal. Some people like them, some don't. Practice drawing from it with an UNLOADED (check 3 times) gun. Have fun, stay safe.  |
