I usually ask what are you shooting, in light of last months match the more appropriate question might be "What kind of hat are you wearing?".

Looking to get into an IDPA match. I've Never been one. Do you have to pre-register or just show up? Also any recommendations (#of mags, equipment, etc.) thanks in advance.

You need a strong side belt holster that covers the trigger guard, 3 mags, 2 belt mounted mag carriers, a flashlight, and about 150 rounds of ammo.

No pre registration is required, just show up to register in the morning. I'd recommend going to the practice this Sunday at 6:30 if you can. If you have experience drawing from the holster and shooting on the move, no problem showing up without a practice. If you don't, I highly recommend a practice or basic defensive/practical shooting class before going to a match.

I didn't think the mag carriers had to be mounted.. Can't they be in a pocket??

You don't have to have you magazines on your belt, but it is the way to go.

Understood.. Thanks for the clarification.

Last question. Do you have to be a member of the club? I heard no, but looking for clarification. Sorry for all the Q's--FNG.

No, per IDPA rules "Club matches and facilities must be open to all IDPA
members.". At WPRC you do get a discount on the match fee if you are a member though.

Is there still practice tonight?

 

[ChevyGuy91]

Are there any other newbies going to this event? I am trying to shake my Saturday plans so I can finally go to one of these.

 

[jkelly]

I don’t know if there will be any other new IDPA shooters there, but don’t let that stop you from going. Let them know that you are new and if you are carrying. They are good group of people and they will take good care of you.

[ChevyGuy91]

If I am carrying? Is that frowned upon?

 

[jkelly]

No not at all, but they do run a cold range and they will need take you down range to clear your firearm.

[Mike-Mike]

There will be at least one other new shooter for sure.

 

[Catmouflage]

Does anyone know what the cost of this event would be?

 

[ChevyGuy91]

Ahhh got it. So if I go, I will be shooting a 1911. How many rounds per stage are shot so I know how many mags I will need on my belt? Also the only OWB holster I have for it is a Serpa paddle. Is that sufficient? Or should I go pick up something else?

I think it will be $20.

You will need a holster(yes I think you holster is okay), three magazines, two magazine holders and a concealment garment. They will go over basic safety and explain the placement of equipment after you tell them that you are new. They will likely squad you with someone to help you through your first match.

Also I think you should bring about 150 rounds of ammo, you will likely shoot less.

So the serpa is ok? If not I will do some shopping tomorrow, I am in.

 

[Lugnut]

To everyone that is hesitant to try this... just get the heck out there and try it! Everyone you will see at WPRC are the nicest people you'll meet. You can't find a better way to give your gun some holster wear!

I edited my post 27, your holster should be fine.

PS Don't shoot with Lugnut it's not good for the ego.
