Mike in NC sends in today’s question asking us why more people don’t shoot IDPA with their actual CCW guns?

We’ve got a couple ideas:

1. Most people don’t actually carry much.

3. People like to be competitive, so they buy a competition gun, even if they say they’re there for CCW practice.

Chris from Action Shooting Radio calls in today’s voicemail for the Q&A podcast. He’s in Canada where he isn’t able to get concealed carry experience, however he might be getting some in the future…

Anyways, he’s asking about J-clips and C-clips for concealed carry holsters. Basically, they both suck, the C-clips tend to suck less.

Davie in Alberquerque sends in today’s voicemail asking about our price per round is for reloading. As it happens, I’m loading for the cheapest I’ve loaded ever right now, at about 9.7 cents a round with a 125gr Blue Bullet, Bullseye powder, and some S&B primers that I got at Cabelas on Black Friday.

Ben’s loading pretty cheap too, at 11.3 cents a round using 147gr Blue Bullets, Clay Dot powder, and some primers he bought from some guy somewhere.
