Yes, I was referring to the different rule set for IDPA. Some of their rules are just silly and some are grey as hell leaving a lot of discretion up to the RO/MDs and the unavoidable differing interpretations from club to club. I was meaning that I'll put IDPA at the bottom of my personal priority for matches I'd shoot with my post. But I'd still certainly shoot IDPA if there's a good match around close and it doesn't take away a date from the existing matches at OKCGC.stan686 said:
And just my luck. I sold the awesome SSR gun I had stashed for IDPA a few months ago since there aren't any matches close, it was the most accurate revolver in my safe. But like Jesse said, I'd love to see a match a "league" around here in some discipline.

It would be nice not to have to drive to Tulsa twice a month to shoot IDPA and still shoot USPSA at home in OKC.

What is a Sam Browne rig? And why are there so many mentions of rules already? Is this going to get Nazi-ish? Is someone going to have a clipboard and checklist? Can I use my 2011 in .40&SW?Jeff said:

The new IDPA rule book is effective October 1, 2013. its an improvement over the 2005 rulebook and its various updates.
The strong suit of IDPA is that it is geared toward indiviuals that have pretty basic gear. You can go to an IDPA match with a centerfire pistol ,9mm or larger caliber, 3 magazines, a strong side holster and basic eye/ear protection. Most stages are shot with a concealment garment, such as a tactical vest, sportcoat or untucked shirt.
The typical IDPA gun can be basic, like a box-stock Glock 19/17, a Springfield Armory XD/XDM or a S&W M&P. There is a division for 1911's in .45 ACP. There are even a couple divisions for those who like to shoot nearly unmodified wheelguns, of 4" of less barrel length.
This basic aspect of what is required to begin shooting is IDPA's strength. Some individiuals start in IDPA, then move on to USPSA. with its greater equipment requirements in divsions other than production or single stack. Some move to Steel Challenge or just start there and stay there. Some start in IDPA and stay there.
I hope we all agree that getting new shooters into the shooting sports, ANY shooting sport, is what will further the continued growth of legal use of firearms, as well as our firearms heritage. IDPA is NOT in competition with other shooting disciplines. If anything, it is a doorway to get individuals into the shooting sports. Those disciplines who are afraid of IDPA taking away their shooters are misguided. If anything, IDPA will provide more shooters into other shooting sports; shooters that have match experience by that point, as well as an understanding of safety rules and match operations.
I am currently the only active IDPA Safety Officer Instructor in the State of Oklahoma. I would be pleased to provide Safety Officer instruction for any new club starting in the OKC area. I'm certain that the IDPA Area Coodinator for the AR/OK area will be pleased to help a new club trying to organize. It takes a place to shoot, as well as a team willing to work to produce safe, fun matches.

OKCGC member interested................... depending on date, I regularly make 4-5 USPSA matches a month and not likely to change that schedule but could support another match that did not interfere with the current USPSA Oklahoma schedule. It might give my 9mm single stack something to do other than occupy space in the safe.

As mentioned. The rules are rules. Every association has some.Mitch Gibson said:
In IDPA... Your 2011 will fall into ESP... 2 mags on the belt.
The holsters can't have offsets and there is some retention tests ..... Any holster you would use for street carry would probably pass
A Sam Brown rig is the traditional holsters and belt worn by uniformed officers... If you care to shoot in duty gear concealment is waived
Sorry. No Nazis here.....

So a Sam Brown rig is like a leather holster with a flap over the gun and an extra leather strap over the shoulder?Jeff said:

Mitch... A wide variety of holsters have been worn on Sam Browne belts over the yearsMitch Gibson said:
In the modern world you will probably see some Safariland retention holster or similar product
There are still a few departments using flap holsters and cross draw holsters... But it's rare
