A1 - The Hallway - 20.42 seconds (I dropped one point)
A2 - Everyone Moves - 9.21 seconds (no pts dropped HOWEVER, I cheated because I forgot 2nd half was one hand/weak hand, so my time looks better than it should) (I re-shot the stage PROPERLY, but not for score...)
B1 - Don't Hug The Cover - 19.74 seconds (FIVE points dropped, ARRRGH!)
B2 - Use Each Hand - 15.16 seconds (but one part was botched because I didn't realize a reload was part of the stage, I just stopped. Grrrr. Also, dropped 8 points here)
C1 - Single Serving First - 4.17 seconds (I found this one to be pretty easy...and fun. Ran this one a second time, but not for score)
C2 - Hard to Stop - 2.71 seconds (6 shots, I wonder how much lower I could get this with practice?)
D1 - Cover and Movement - 13.04 seconds, dropped 4 points
D2 - Knife Attack - 13.10 dropped 0 points BUT had two total misses?! Unacceptable!
I was measuring myself against my buddy since we always shoot together. I've watched him go from "new guy" to highly skilled shooter over about 5 years. I've gotten better also, but I'm aging.

He also ran 9mm with 17rd mags, I ran .40 cal with 10-rd mags. In the end, he won half and I won half, pitted against each other. On the stages I won, I "edged" him. On the stages he won, he beat me CLEARLY. Bottom line is that I was very happy with my performance and in my pistol, as well as my handloads... which both of us ran. No fails of any manner with either primary gun we shot the event with (Glock 17 gen4 and Glock 29 gen3 with KKM-.40cal barrel) We also felt we did fairly well as neither of us competes at any level. We learned some IDPA things about using cover and exposing yourself, we learned how we'd get dinged "procedurals" if we broke some rules (such as dropping any magazine WITH ammo in it) and we also rose to the challenge each and every time our RSO's suggested that the stage was "easy", so we should do HEAD SHOTS. Makes a big difference!
I did have a failure with another "fun" gun that I brought. On any other day, I would have been quite bummed out, but this day was too much fun and too much good shooting to let it bother me a whole lot. And I've done a total of four Fun 'n Guns now, twice at each venue, but this was the highest-skilled group shooters I've worked with yet. We should have had more people in our group because we ran through them all silky smooth.
Our RSO's were a couple of guys from Kentucky... Tom and Dave. Great RSOs and it only took 'em two stages to warm up to my style of humor.
