Hey guys, I have been lurking here for a while now, finally registered a few days ago and figured I'd say hello after the warm welcome the dude from Longmont got (I was born in Boulder, grew up outside Longmont!). I picked up a 4.5 XDM 9mm about 3 or 4 months ago and have about 600 rounds through it. First pistol, and absolutely love it. I'm not too bad of a shot either, but always reading / talking to people trying to improve as much as possible. I'll continue reading and what not, but after seeing a lot of the IDPA videos and talking to a friend who shoots competitions, I must say, I'm more than intrigued and want to try it ASAP! No idea really how to get started though, what gear a new guy should be looking at, practicing, etc. etc. etc... Any info, comments, etc. are welcome and I'll get back to reading and reading.
Another new guy from CO

Welcome to the forum!
Thanks for the welcome guys. It's cool to see CO people coming out of the woodwork. Grew up in Boulder / Niwot / Longmont and used to work in Frederick, moved to Ft. Collins for school. Just stumbled across the Northern CO IDPA website, hopefully I can check out an event soon! Just need a decent holster and some more mags.
