So if I show up with my G19, 2 mags, 150rds, my IWB holster, a jacket, and ear pro I'm good to go? What is the fee to play? Any other associated fees?Quote:

Most IDPA matches are $20 and most clubs knock off $5 if you show up early to help set up.
Serpa holster should be fine as long as not drop leg rig and your cover garment conceals it.
Irving runs an IWB holster very well and speed is no concern first match. Safety is. If you shoot yourself in the azz while drawing pistol, RO will DQ you then render first aid.
Is there a limit on gun type or mag size?
Holster restrictions are:Quote:

Must be worn behind center line of hips (3 o'clock and back).
Any mag holster should be worn center line and back as well.
A lot of people use OWB holsters, you just have a cover garment.
What you listed is fine, but I'd bring three magazines if you have them. You'll be loading to 10 rounds (11 to start).
To give you an idea, I shot my first match in 2009, skipped 2010, and have been shooting every year since. I just got a magazine carrier THIS year (2014). I just show up with my carry holster, 5 mags (only ever use 3), mag carrier, and an untucked T-shirt as my cover garment. I did mag changes out of my pockets for a long time. Oh, correction, I just got a GOOD, kydex mag carrier this year. I was using a nylon carrier for full sized mags, with Kleenex stuffed into the bottom to raise up my compact mags, with the retention straps removed, for years. I got a penalty once because I was laying prone and my mags slid out of my nylon mag holster.
Anyway, like I was saying, just show up. And you forgot eyepro on your list.

The glasses I wear every day are scratch-resistent and shatter-proof, but they don't wrap around the sides like eyepro normally does. I did take a direct hit with a piece of hot brass to one of my lenses last year, and it didn't even leave a mark.
Forgot to ask: Are those restrictions above are for IDPA, right? Would you recommend finding an IDPA match first? does it matter?
You be surprised some of the things that happen, first match, first stage. Even experienced shooters. [emoji33]Quote:
