Police Charity match................

This past Saturday (4/4/09) Carlos Gibson asked myself and Angel Medina to help him as safety officers in a Charity match held at the Chesterfield Public Safety range. Loosely based on IDPA rules it was only open to Law Enforcement, mainly Chesterfield Police and Sheriff. The match had 8 stages and was a total of 112 rounds if you did not take any extra shots! Here are the Videos I shot, I did not get every stage. It's a little difficult to be a Safety Officer and a camera man!

I was truly impressed with the skill of the folks who came and shot the match. All were proficient with there weapons, most of which appeared to be Glocks in .40 Caliber. There was a mixture of plain clothes officers and those who had true retention holsters and I not having much experience with retention holster was amazed at the draw times some of the officers had.

Most typical IDPA skills were used, shooting on the move, slide-lock and tactical reloads, drawing from a seated position, targets with t-shirts on them, swingers, no-shoots, strong hand shooting and shots out to 20 yards. I believe Carlos is going to try to do this more often to help with the traing of Chesterfields already highly skilled Officers!

Thank you Carlos we all had a great time and would be more than happy to do it again for you!

Here is one of Carlos's associates. Knock over the non-threat with ticket book which starts a non-threat swinger. Engage each target with 3 rounds each, near to far and don't shoot the good guys!
