Very nice, but can someone tell me how in the UK can you own a normal unmodified handgun, as I was under the impression they had to have extended barrels etc. So how can you own a normal unmodified handgun in order to practice and take part in this type of shooting contest?
@@Gunroomtv Ok, so generally a sport only for the rich who can afford to travel frequently. What is the point of representing Great Britain in this competition if it actually isn't even recognised by Great Britain.
@@Elfin4 Absolutely not just for the rich, there is much more to it and it is well worth supporting all British athletes in all shooting sports. I'd suggest you get in contact with the UKPSA to find out more. If you have an interest in shooting IPSC Handgun and are willing to put the effort in it is very achievable for all budgets.
@@Gunroomtv Yes I am interested, but cant afford international travel just to train and practice, this as I said is a sport for the rich and those able to have lots of travel time to places who have legalised handguns. How can this be a British sport if you cant even practice in your home country. Ridiculous is what comes to mind, as is putting on a British shirt inferring it is in some way affiliated as a recognised British sport. If it's illegal to have the sport and train on British mainland, how can it be a sport available to everyone.
Elfin4 I don’t think you understand. IPSC has many disciplines that can be shot in Great Britain. Best thing to do is contact the UKPSA for more details or give us a call in the office and we’ll explain all the options.
are there any essex clubs that do action air. struhhling to find info.
Get in contact with the UKPSA via their website and they'll be able to point you in the right direction!
Looks like Mario Chan is of Filipino descent.

You can't own or practice with a normal handgun in Great Britain. All of the competitors travel abroad to practice and borrow firearms locally!
