[Leica] Best place to buy 9mm ammo? IPSC?

[frankandaubrey at mindspring.com (Frank Farmer)]

I shoot IPSC.  If I had a scanner I'd post pictures.  Anyway, it is IPSC/ 
USPSA down here.  And glocks and sigs are certianly not king either.  The 
Limited guys overwhelmingly shoot with STI or SV.  So do the open guys.  I 
shoot Limited 10 with a Kimber Super Match in .45ACP.  A fine handgun.  The 
Production division fellas often use a glock but that is still a pretty 
small division.

Anybody on the list do IPSC?

Glocks and Sigs rule out here :^)
