The official IDPA rules don't allow 380's. I ran into a safety officer and his wife at a Christmas party. They both shoot IDPA and are very competitive. I mentioned that I'd love to see my wife come out to shoot to improve her gun handling skills. They had a nice long chat with her and welcomed her to bring her 380 and shoot with us. As a local club, they can make concessions to get folks involved. IDPA folks are really good people. They seemed to have her partially talked into it. I'll need to pick up a couple more mags and mag pouches for her. It will be worth it if she is coming out to shoot. Hope she does, as it will significantly improve her gun handling skills and confidence...to the level she was at with her black powder competition...as FL Woman's State champ. I'm ready to reload for her 380, so we'll see where this goes in 2014.
