USPSA / IDPA and the BERETTA 92

[pfclee11b]

Ok so not sure where I saw or read this, but this individual was saying that the Beretta 92-96 series are not allowed at USPSA and IDPA shoots. Is this true? I cant seem to find anything in the rules stating it.

He is high.

Stock Service Pistol is by far the dominant gun class in IDPA, and this was true at the Mid-Winter Nationals, with some 80 shooters making that choice. Ernest Langdon won last year's event here, overall, with a box stock Beretta 92G, firing all of his first shots double-action.

Thanks for the quick reply. I just did not want to buy one and then be told I cant use it. I love the beretta 92fs just hate the round and even the round is not bad it is just over here in Iraq they dont allow us to use JHPs so just using GI ball is the reason for most of the complaints on how the 92 is bad. If we were allowed to use the proper bullets you would hear no one complaining.

A pistol with an empty mag in it must fit in the IDPA box measuring 8 3/4"x6"x1 5/8" (Insde measurments of box).

But you should IDPA anyway, 'cause USPSA is full of stuck-up gamers. JK, I'd shoot USPSA too if I could afford it. I know guys from IDPA who shoot USPSA too, and some of them are OK.

Oh, and keep your head down, Eleven Bravo!

[pfclee11b]

When I said some of them are OK, I was thinking of her.

We try hard not to look down on the inferior classes, but it's a struggle sometimes, even for those as refined and sophisticated as ourselves.

[westberg]
