So long story short a range down the road hosts a Defensive Pistol Match first Saturday of every month and tomorrow is the qualifier match. Its a $10 registration fee, BYOA (bring your own ammo) and no prizes, just bragging rights.
I haven't fired my Beretta since I moved to AZ so my performance aught to be comical but I'm excited none the less. My strategy will be "slow and steady doesn't get you disqualified for a safety violation"
Wish me luck!
Here's a video of someone I don't know competing in the same match in 2012:

If its your Neos that's almost an unfair advantage lol
No, haven't bought the Neos yet. This is the Duty Rig I bought when I took my Armed Security Officer training course back in OK. A Beretta 96D (A .40 S&W DAO version of the Beretta 92FS). It was a Tulsa PD trade-in.
(Looks slightly different now. I never liked the Hogue wraparound grips, made the gun feel huge. I recently swapped them out for a pair of Hogue Rosewood grips)

Had a blast! Started having malfunctions during the qualifying round so I'll likely place low but I shot well despite the failures so my score should be OK. We'll see. They said they'd post the scores on their website tonight but they're not up yet. My son filmed me and I'll share the vid as soon as I edit it all together.

Good to see you came out alive! I was a little scared with all those guns that one of them might jump out of someones holster and kill you.
On a serious note, sounds like you had fun . I need to get back out to the range and practice with my Bersa 380 and the SCCY 9mm some more. Well, my wife could use the practice to .
Here's a couple of pictures while my video uploads to Youtube.
My huge grin 'cuz I was having the time of my life:
And the two best parts of the day -
"Clearing the Drug house":
And "OKflyboy: Mall Cop" (Terrorists at the Mall):
And just because I think this is a hilarious shot my wife got of me (If the was a Die Hard or any Michael Bay film there would be a HUGE explosion behind me):
Well, between my "slow and steady" philosophy and my malfunctions my score was low. I placed 17th out of 21 shooters (Its worth noting I was the only first-timer there). I'm really not that concerned with my score this time around. It was my first time and I had a blast regardless. Next time, though, I'm going to shoot to win!
Anyway, I promised to post the score when it was available, so:

What part of "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" is so hard to understand?!

I literally lol'd! Thanks MEM. I'll admit I kinda sucked, but it was still a lot of fun.
(In all seriousness, my shots weren't that bad, never scored lower than -1 on any round besides the qualifier where the Beretta malfunctioned - it was the times that killed me, I took it too slow)
