Either way you do run and gun, it will improve your skills. As to the Guns and Blammo article (I never saw it), I think there are some elements of IPSC / USPSA that are bad form. Some examples that come to mind - almost zero emphasis on using cover, leaving cover with an unloaded weapon to get a better time on the stage (i.e. reload on the run in the open), and standing in / shooting from doorways.
You get out of it what you put in it...
