A Beretta has only been the winning gun once at the Nationals (03) whereas Glock 22s were the winning gun twice (02 & 04). (A CZ won in 05) So I guess Glocks are the winningest Production Division pistol in Canada......

 

[IM_Lugger]

people tend to use glocks more often because of the DAO trigger; first shot the same as 2nd 3rd etc...

Why would a .40 be more advantageous than a 9mm in Production Division ?
Is it because of the minor/major thing ?
(please forgive me, I'm an IPSC newbie...)

Anybody know what holsters are good for IDPA and IPSC? I have a CZ 75B and a SP01 - can I get away with one holster for both divisions? If so which would be up my alley?

Because you can down load the 40cal to have the PF ~9mm but with less snap...

I recommend a Blade-Tech Dropped Offset Holster (DOH) for IPSC:

And their belt holster for IDPA:

http://www.blade-tech.com/product.php?productid=871&cat=257&page=1

The belt holster can be used for both IPSC and IDPA.

If you're in Calgary, go to 911 Supply at 4327A Manhattan Rd SE. They're the Blade-Tech distributers for Canada

ahh but a Beretta has a higher overall overage at the Nats, having been 2nd 3 times.

2nd is JUST the 1st place LOSER!
