Home page > Practical shooting
After many years of established IPSC competition, some shooters, including some of the original founders, became dissatisfied with IPSC, as more specialised equipment was required to remain competitive. The International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) was formed in the late 1990s with the aim of returning to the defensive pistol roots of practical shooting.
The International Defensive Pistol Association promotes defensive pistol shooting as a sport, using equipment including full-charge service ammunition to solve simulated "real world" self-defense scenarios. Shooters competing in defensive pistol events are required to use practical handguns and holsters that are deemed suitable for self-defense use. Since alterations to the sidearm are heavily restricted in IDPA, and magazine capacity is limited, it is possible to be competitive in IDPA with a greatly reduced outlay of money.
