006 Shooting IDPA

Since we started the ProArms Podcast we seem to have mentioned IDPA, the International Defensive Pistol Association in almost every episode. So, we figured that it was time we did an episode where we talk about IDPA. All of us compete in a variety of the shooting disciplines but the one we all have in common is IDPA. We recorded this episode after a match at our local club, First Coast IDPA held at Gateway Rifle and Pistol Club in Jacksonville Florida. We are joined by a visitor from Italy, Dr Maurizio Lai, with whom we talk about gun owner issues and shooting IDPA in Italy, as well as what he had to go through traveling with his guns to the US. Like many of us Dr. Lai is a big Glock and Smith & Wesson fan. Below is a picture of his Glock 19 chambered for the 9 x 21 cartridge. Also joining us is First Coast IDPA Match Director Dr. Ed Sevetz and his friend Donna from Australia, who fired her first shot at the match.

The next afternoon the ProArms team got together to discuss the history of IDPA and the valuable lessons that can be learned when participating in a match. We are joined by Bud Dees, a Firearms Instructor, who gives us his impressions of IDPA as a first time shooter in that arena. We are also joined by Matt Morgan, who is part of the ProArms family, and has been shooting competitively for several years now. Matt is pictured on our banner; he’s the second from the right.

005 SIG P250, Marty Hayes

In this episode we first visit with Marty Hayes who tells us about the new Armed Citizen’s Defense Network. A network of armed citizens and lawyers who provide education and support for the legal issues that we face as armed citizens. Then we talk a little about The Firearms Academy of Seattle where Marty and his wife Gila run one of the premier shooting schools in the nation. You can contact either of these fine endeavors at the links above.

In the second segment the ProArms team gets together to discuss the SIG P250, a new concept in firearms, a completely modular system where to trigger assembly is the serial numbered part of the gun. Everything else is interchangeable, including the caliber of the gun. The ProArms team really liked this gun; both the modular concept and the feel of the trigger made it unique.
