Next IDPA Nebraska Indoor Match February 1st
Lorimor:
Don't know if there's any rules agin' printing. I can't find any anyway. The gun just can't be readily visible. So I think if it's covered during normal movements, you're good to go.
I could be wrong, but I can't find language that states otherwise.

You aren't wrong. It says:
"8.9.1. Legal concealment garments hide the holster, firearm, ammunition carriers, and loading devices from view.
8.9.2. The concealment garment test is for the competitor to stand with their arms straight out to the side, parallel to the ground. If the standing SO cannot see the previously listed equipment from the front, sides, or rear, then the concealment garment is legal."
It doesn't say "if the standing SO cannot see any outline or bulge or evidence of printing" --- it says "cannot see".
So I COULD wear tent-clothes instead of a vest over my OWB belt holster. Or I could wear a tight-fitting top that completely prints, as long as it covers the gun.
However, I'm just not going to do either of those things. :) Like I said, since it can't resemble my EDC, might as well be comfortable in all weather and make it easiest to get to my gear. Vest for me.
Lorimor:
I am looking forward to warmer weather and the return of my tent clothes t-shirts complete with clever, witty sayings. I find dark colored/camo fleece vests make excellent cover garments, but they're simply too warm for summer wear.
I don't get too worked up 'bout the whole "printing" thing. Most folk are so absorbed in their own lives that a bulge at my waistline won't be noticed. Maybe I should be more mindful of it but so far, so good. I am careful though, not to bend over at the waist and if I have to reach high on a shelf at the Scheel's Discount Emporium for a jug of Bub's Catfish Elixir, I do so with my support hand. Of course, with winter time and heavy coats it isn't so important.

I think I will just wear my usual Clint Eastwood poncho. Functional AND fashionable.

SeanN:
I will be there. First time shooting IDPA, should be interesting... We'll see if I can keep my feet in place while reloading. ???
I'm a little sad that Safariland raised the price back up of the holster I use for USPSA and directed a bunch of friends to buy. It was sub $20 for awhile and is a nice holster for the price. Still not too bad at $39 (http://www.holsters.com/concealment/holsters/model5198.asp).
I will probably end up using a Safariland ALS holster I have lying around though, since I don't want to undo the low-ride attachment I have on that holster for USPSA.
Is it legal for me to remove the active retention from a holster? I get about the same draw times either way, just curious.
