ONTARIO Calif. – Safariland® congratulates team member Robert Vogel for winning the Stock Service Pistol (SSP) Division at the 2016 Smith & Wesson IDPA Indoor Nationals held in Springfield, Mass., February 18 – 20. Vogel dominated the entire match coming in with the fastest overall time of 207.87, and defending his title for the ninth year in a row.
Competitors gathered from all over the world to compete at the Smith & Wesson indoor shooting range in Springfield. The IDPA Nationals offered 14 stages with a round count of 260+ and each stage was designed to challenge competitors of all skill levels. Known for its challenging low-light and no-light stage scenarios, the championship required competitors to shoot while on the move and reload with a flashlight in hand.
“My Safariland gear allowed me to focus on the game and not the equipment,” said Robert Vogel. “My 5199 holster has proven that it is the best IDPA holster made as I use this holster for everything from USPSA matches to the classes I teach.”
“We are very proud of Vogel’s performance at this year’s nationals, and, more importantly, his valued feedback to our Research and Development team,” said Team Captain and Vice President, Equipment Category, Scott Carnahan. “This is a great start for Team Safariland and we look forward to a great year!”
Vogel participates in IDPA competitions with the Safariland holster Model 5199, Open Top Concealment Belt Clip Holster with Detent, the Model 773, Single Magazine Holder that is mounted to a 744BL Belt Clip, and model 032 Range Belt. For more information, visit www.safariland.com/dutygear.

Dude is a dirty shooter. Went to one of his classes a few years back and I think he’s got a time machine that allows him to slow down the clock. You can’t even see his tac reloads. Besides being a freak shooter he’s a very straight-forward instructor and doesn’t embellish the training with theatrics and useless extras.
Just goes to prove that it’s always the Indian, not the arrow, that really counts.
