Custom Defensive Pistol
What you think it says: I am the defender of IDPAs great tradition and history, shooting the division that the sport was originally created for. My pistol is blessed by Jeff Cooper and John Moses Browning and is the pinnacle of crastmanship and engineering.
What other people think: You know they make guns that hold more than 8 bullets, right? And firearms technology has advanced somewhat in the last hundred years.
Note on CDP: The definition above is only true if youre shooting a 1911 in CDP, if youre shooting a Glock/XD/M&P in CDP youre probably doing it specifically to troll those guys.
Enhanced Service Pistol
What you think it says: Yes, I am truly the king of IDPA here in the closest thing we have to a racegun division. I will take my gear to the max, on the bleeding edge of IDPA technology while I use that technology to improve my shooting and stage times.
What other people think: That guy is shooting ESP because hes tired of getting his s*** pushed in by Bob Vogel in SSP.
Stock Service Pistol
What you think it says: This is practical shooting at its finest. Practical guns, practical gear a division where you can truly be competitive with your carry gun.
What other people think: Competitive with your carry gear? You carry an LCP in a pocket holster, but youre shooting a Glock 34 in a Blade-Tech holster under a Woolrich vest that you literally NEVER WEAR outside of this match. Tell me another one, brah.
Enhanced Service Revolver
What you think it says: I blend old school technology and new thinking with my mastery of the art of the wheelgun. Using these moonclips, I can reload as fast as a semi-auto and compete with the bottom-feeders.
What other people think: Is your name Jerry? It isnt? Okay, have fun over there with the other two guys in your division.
Stock Service Revolver
What you think it says: IDPA is the last bastion of true shooting if a Model 19 and 158 grain LSWC was good enough for my dad on the force, then its good enough for me. Six for sure beats clearing malfs any day!
What other people think: Hey, there goes Sandbagger McGavin, just trying to pad his State Championship count by beating up on marksmen and sharpshooters in SSR again.
Thats it for IDPA! I need to shoot more 3-gun so I can do one for that, or I could just do one for all the shooting sports, like what your shooting sport of choice says about you. Let me know what you think in the comments.
