Oxford IDPA Fun Match CDP Division Camo4x4s

Oxford, NC IDPA Fun Match CDP Division Camo4x4s - 09/19/09

I have been shooting CDP class now for two years on and off. I just shot my first two major IDPA matches in Oxford. I have really come to enjoy the sport. It is a great stress reliever. I have shot about 40 matches in the past 2 years averaging 3rd place overall.

Why do you shoot a 1911?
I shoot a 1911 because they are classic guns dating back to the year 1911 and it is a disadvantage in competition because it holds fewer rounds which equals more mag changes which ultimately costs you more time and points. Competition shooting is like golf... The lowest score ranks first and the highest score places last. A 1911 also has a greater power factor and a wider diameter bullet if your shooting a .40 or .45 caliber which makes your hits easier to see on the targets. A 1911 is a model gun. It's patent ran out which means there are a wide variety of companies that produce the model 1911. A 1911 is endlessly customizable. You can literally build a 1911 by ordering aftermarket parts. Some of the best 1911 aftermarket parts are made by Caspin. I personally have a custom built 1911 9mm Caspin. In this particular video though, I'm shooting a Springfield Armory .45 caliber 1911. I like Springfield Armory because they come with a lifetime warranty incase you have a major problem with your gun.... send it in.... they will fix it for FREE.

This is a great adrenaline pumping sport to prepare you for a possible once in a lifetime scenario where you might would have to use deadly force. You can rest assure you don't want to break into anyones house that shoots these competitions or rob them at gun point for that matter. The people that shoot these competitions are stand up law abiding citizens and are a friendly group.

This is great training for law enforcement too. This sport prepares you mentally for thinking fast on your toes. It can be expensive but most sports are but cost for competing is relatively low costing about $15 per match. Most people shoot stock handguns meaning they have not been overhauled with aftermarket parts.

People think this stuff is easy. But I know it is not by any means. I shoot USPSA and it really puts the pressure on you.

[NicverAZ]

What camera do you use for these POV shots? Thanks!

[CorpCheek1]

Is that in Mississippi?

that looks like fun, i have been in one idpa match and it amazes me how much stress you are under just by being watched and critiqued by other, kinda unnerves you! but they are fun!

[RealSniper2010]

The 1911 is an awesome platform. You can buy a basic model, and with some work from a competent gunsmith, have a great firearm. The important things to look for are slide to frame fit and barrel lock-up. If those seem solid you can have the work done (usually for a reasonable price) to make it a great pistol. And, the .22LR conversion kit is probably the best possible way to practice with that firearm. You can shoot 1,000s of .22s for the price of 100 rounds of .45ACP.

Tell me about the camera setup and the guide rod on your 1911. They make for a great video!!

[Doccarson]

I gotta agree with Jimkressin, this stuff isn't easy. If you had a good time and seek improvement then you're doing better then most of the pros.

Hi Camo. What model Springfield Armory are you using? To me it looks like a customized Mil Spec Model? Thanks. Sincerely, JAMES.
