No problem. I just thought you had read it and agreed so there wasn’t a reason to discuss it. My buddy has a Kahr and he trusts it. Before you buy, go to the IDPA match.

For training, the best place is an IDPA match. It’s close to being free and I suppose some people think they have to go across the country, spent hundreds of dollars for motel rooms and then spend a couple of thousand to a guru teacher.

The only thing with IDPA is they will show you the way, but then you have to put the time in yourself.

For women, I have reached the conclusion 9mm is the minimum but it’s also the maximum unless you’re thinking of a revolver in .38 Special.

Start out slow to get your muscle memory, use snap caps to practice your front sight picture in your home, save all of your brass and listen to the top WOMEN competitors. Your holster and retention needs are different than guys. Pardner up with some lady so you can both go shopping for shooting stuff.

Hi Shooter. May I ask what the letters IDPA stand for? I imagine I would find my local branch in the phone book. Thanks for your help.
