Ever go to pull your gun and....

the holster comes with it? The first stage started off with a giggle. The buzzer goes off and I yank the gun up and out. Right off I notice something is wrong. Left hand didn't fit right, sights were missing and couldn't find the trigger.

Yep...my Fobus holster was still on the gun. I flipped the holster off with my left hand and shot the stage. After it was over the range officer gave me the command to holster. Thinking he caught what happened I told him I couldn't. The command is given again, "holster your weapon!" With everyone laughing I told him with a grin, " I don't have a holster." He was a little confused when my holster was returned to me.

I would think that after a couple of shots it would have come off on by itself.

That's one of the great things about IDPA, not only do you get practice shooting and hitting your target but you also get experience with those little flaws in your equipment.

I'm glad that happened at the range and not in a real life situation.

How did you end up doing by the way, Roundman?

Last month I think I ranked 18th out of 78. Somehow several of the stages were completed with a -0. This month I dropped to 20th out of 60. I was poked a couple of times for not shooting the targets in the right order/from behind cover. I seem to do well at hitting the targets but just a little slow at getting it done.
