[QUOTE="mike_pinto, post: 1044759, member: 3951"] You know, I have been thinking about this thread and this is the source of confusion and recent negative activity on this forum. There is a difference between competition and defense. I have done both, probly more on the defense side then 90% of the tactical guys on here. Those that know me know my background, although I keep it rather quiet on here. I have fired shots in anger and have been shot at, and competition has nothing to do with that. The good dr made a point about training like you fight, but we are not training for anything but 3-gun competition. If we could get folks to understand that, there would be a lot less banning and bentering here. I promise you that competition shooters as a whole will win a fight because we have practice ethics with firearms. If we want to be better at ipsc, we practice. But don't let that fool you. I practice with my carry rig and I bet most of my compadres do as well. I have been an operator. I am a competitor. The two are exclusive, but try to take my stuff in a dark alley. Don't assume for a minute that the tactical crowd out here are the only ones that can clear a building an engage multiple targets. I would take Kelly Raglin and Jay Mackey to any engagement and feel safe. I would say Lance, but he is already a cop. They are competition shooters, but like I said, we shoot little targets at 50 compared to getting gun powder at contact. Say what you will about competitive shooters not being tactical, but I wouldn't bet that they can't draw out of an IWB faster then you. Tad, come on out and see what it is all about. I invite all of you to come out to okcgc next Sunday and see what it is all about. M [/QUOTE]
