Re: In Response to Lapse in Awareness....my recent encounter

That's exactly why I can't carry in the 4 o'clock position, you can't really see if someone is approaching you from behind. I carry in the 2 o'clock position, on the right side but towards the front and not the back of my body. So I have a visual of anyone coming towards my gun.
It is true that ...

Re: Signs for the CHLer

Yeah that's why I didn't want to ask them, I guess we'll never know for sure, all I know is that I will carry next time I go there.

Re: Signs for the CHLer

So I go to Chuck E. Cheese's at Katy Mills last Saturday night with my wife and nephews and when I get through the front door I see this sign on the wall to the right, I see the wording looks right, so I kinda panicked and ran to the car to disarm myself :leaving
I go back into this place and when I ...

Re: West Houston IDPA Sat Match Nov 5th

I went there today, had a great time, I really sucked at it but I enjoyed it very much. I am confident that with time and training I'll do better.
Can't wait to go next Wednesday!!

Re: West Houston IDPA Sat Match Nov 5th

I don't really understand the difference between SSP and ESP, anyway for now I'll use it as it came from in the manufacturer :biggrinjester:

Re: West Houston IDPA Sat Match Nov 5th

150 rounds sound like fun, and like I need to get a 9mm!!!

I have a Glock 23 in .40 cal which is my daily carry, a Galco IWB leather holster, five 13-round magazines and a 2-magazine holder.

Would it be ok to get a 9mm conversion barrel for my glock in the future if I want to really get into IDPA ...

Re: West Houston IDPA Sat Match Nov 5th

Great, I see that on Saturdays it starts at 8:30am, is that the time the match starts or the time people show up? What time should I show up this Saturday?

Thanks,

Re: West Houston IDPA Sat Match Nov 5th

Thanks for all the good info!

I get out of work at 5:30 or later during the week, I could ask to get out one hour earlier on a Wednesday but I won't be able to do it very often. Saturdays I'm usually free, I was thinking about showing up this Saturday just to watch and see how others do it, learn a ...

Re: West Houston IDPA Sat Match Nov 5th

I want to learn more about IDPA, I would like to get more into it but I don't know where/how to start.
I live in the Katy area and looks like the closest place where I can find people gathering for training and matches is "West Houston IDPA", which is like 30 miles away anyway.
Looking over their ...

Re: Got my CHL, Academy wont sell me guns!!

The manager called me today to let me know that NOW everything was in line and I could go pick it up, he assured I would get the sale price of last week and told me that if I needed anything else he would personally make sure I don't have to wait, he was very apologetic. I wanted the gun so I went ...

Re: Got my CHL, Academy wont sell me guns!!

So after several calls today I told one of the managers "That's fine I'll call the local ATF office to see how is it that I am elegible for a CHL but I'm not so to buy a gun".
20 minutes later they call me back to tell me everything checks out and I am good to stop by the store and pick up the gun ...

Re: Got my CHL, Academy wont sell me guns!!

So I went back to the store, no luck.
The manager I talked to yesterday was not in today. I talked to another manager, showed him all the paperwork and what I printed from the ATF website. He basically said "I understand your situation but I have to go by what the company tells me to do, we have ...
