They look similar (and they are) until you read the rules from the top two sites and then watch the videos again.
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.
IDPA = canoes and flamingos.

Oh, USPSA has it's share of prop tossing and monkey motion. USPSA doesn't have failure to do right rules or everthing mandated where to stand, which target to shoot, when to shoot it... IDPA is more geared toward defensive techniques and looks down on tactics and gear they don't see fitting the role. USPSA is a game, and we just want to shoot stuff fast.Originally Posted by Stuart

what's the deal, are these ones no bueno?
Some like both.
Some like one and not the other.
Some don't like either.
Read the rules on the sites, go to a match or two of each, and decide for yourself.
I prefer USPSA and don't much care for IDPA. I have some problems with some of the rules and some of the concepts of IDPA.

IDPA = Defensive. Shoot from behind cover, limited # of magazines (3) also limits gear.
IPSC = Offensive. Run and gun, out in the open. Not many limits on magazines or gear.
I don't think either will let you shoot full auto.
Thank god! have you watched any of Cha-lee's videos? Ya, that's what we need a big angry panda with a machine pistol...IDPA = Defensive. Shoot from behind cover, limited # of magazines (3) also limits gear.

If you have never shot a competition, and are just looking for something to shoot for the first time, it doesn't matter at all which you choose in my opinion. I've mostly shot IDPA. I'm so concerned with actually being able to hit the targets, that I don't much care about speed or procedure. I'm still working on hitting what I'm aiming at.

Couldn't help but laugh when I read your reply.
When I wrote that, I was thinking about Cha-lee.
I have shot with him a few times.
He doesn't need any machine pistol TO SLOW HIM DOWN.
