[QUOTE="ripnbst, post: 1510454, member: 16136"] I shot an IDPA match for the first time a couple weeks ago and I can say you will want to be shooting an auto with AT LEAST 10+1 capacity and a MINIMUM of 3 mags total, so 2 spares. When you sign up they will tell you how many rounds you will need. I always take more, like 25-50% more. I shot a 7+1 1911 and found myself needing to reload more than I wanted to be comparatively speaking and on targets requiring 6 shots it really puts you at a disadvantage when there are 2 or 3 more targets requiring two COM hits each between you and cover to reload. A wheel gun would be a PITA if you ask me because of the stipulations that they have in most stages of needing to be behind cover when reloading. On the other hand you may win your division on a given weekend because I didn't see anyone shooting a revolver :) [/QUOTE]
