I'll note that in my case, while I'm mildly annoyed that I can't use my carry rig in IDPA it doesn't bother me THAT much (though I enjoy making fun of IDPA for that reason)---because I already practice draws a'plenty with my carry holster, and and it would only get used at most once per stage in IDPA. In other words, not much.
And since I don't consider ANY of the shooting sports "self-defense practice," it isn't a big deal to me. (I'll think about changing my mind when a viable stage procedure is "run away screaming for help" without requiring any sort of shooting.) Shooting sports, to me, involve tests of shooting skills---of which the draw is only one of many.
My concealed draw is ok at the moment. It is true that my draw is faster with my carry rig than it is with an OWB holster under a vest---but I can live with that. :)

Reviewing the official IDPA rule book, I discovered that while handheld lights are allowed, they cannot be attached to the body with a lanyard, ring, etc. Another dumb rule IMHO.
Naturally gun mounted lights aren't allowed at all.

Yep. All the advances in science and technology, plus the intelligent changes we've made to existing tools to make them more effective----you can't use them.
I mean, seriously----you CAN'T use a lanyard on a flashlight, given a scenario in which you KNOW you are going to 1) need a flashlight, and 2) have to shoot AND reload?
Yep, realistic. ???
...so as long as you don't expect "realistic self-defense training" and instead think "fun shooting skills game" then it'll be okay.
