Info from thre TCSC Match Director:

A couple of fun twists:

1) The theme for the regular match will be an “out of your element” day. Bring a gun you don’t normally shoot in the match and see how you do. If you’ve only got one gun, email me back – if I get a few of you, I’ll put you in contact with each other, so you can trade up for the day to be “out of your element.” A friend of mine I used to do martial arts with used to once a quarter train at a different dojo. He called these his “out of his element” days, and he said it kept him on his toes. Shooting with a gun you don’t normally use will do the same.


2) There will be a side rifle match after the regular IDPA match. Rules for this are pretty simple: Bring any repeating rifle (no single-shots or muzzle loaders) that is safe and serviceable. There will be five stages, and no stage will exceed 18 rounds. Cost for the side match will be $5 AND a commitment to stay till the bitter end until all the infrastructure is back in the connex, all the brass picked up, and all the trash hauled to the dumpster.

looking forward to the rifle match.

I have no idea what I am going to bring for the "out of the element" match, gotta see what I have IDPA legal holsters for.

I really want to try the IDPA thing sometime or a least go out and watch to see what its all about, sounds fun.

I hope I can make it, but won't know for sure until the day before.

Will it be okay for me to skip the "out of your element" thing and stick with my M&P 9mm?

Actually I'd welcome a chance to swap with someone using a Glock, in order to try one out, but like I said, I might not even make it. (Have to see what's up at work that day.) So I wouldn't want to commit to swapping with someone else.

I'm going to make it "Colt" day and shoot the 1911 series 80 and the LE6920.

I don't think it's "mandatory", just a way to give the match a twist.

Unfotunatekly it looks like I'm going to miss this one. My wife is having surgery that day.

Be safe, have fun, and someone get some pics.

I actually would like to swap with someone in order to try out a Glock, but I wouldn't want to commit to it if I'm not absolutely certain I can play hookey that day.

My 1911 is just a range gun- I don't have a holster for it, and only have two seven round mags.
