Bring them along. :) We can find ear and eye protection for them.

Understandable.
Blade-Tech has a great combo pack for people who want to start in IDPA. More importantly, they work well for people who have a USPSA competition rig---but 1) don't want to switch out their DOH holster, and 2) realize that their competition mag pouches aren't legal in IDPA.
One holster (suitable for IDPA), one double-mag pouch, and a training barrel because you should dryfire practice at home. Best prices I've seen for these are on Optics Planet.

That being said, if your mag pouches are already fine, just getting the Revolution holster from OpticsPlanet is only about $25. Uncle Mikes work okay also, but I personally think that Blade-Tech's holsters are higher quality, and still don't cost much. Comp-Tac makes really good holsters too, but the price starts going up at that point...
We all need to get some time in shooting IDPA stages---the classifier is coming up in March!

BUUUUT...Isn't IDPA about "Defensive Pistol"? Shouldn't you be shooting what you carry? I know, I know. It is a competition. Just pointing out the dichotomy. I don't have any "competition" gear for IDPA with the exception of my double mag pouch (I only CC with a single mag pouch). For holster I just use what I carry.
Which leads me into another beef I have. I carry appendix IWB, so why would that not be allowed in IDPA as long as it is "concealed"?

Only if it matches THEIR concept of concealed. And, you know, "realistic."
(Posted by someone who uses their carry gun for IDPA, but can't use his actual carry rig, so instead uses a belt holster and shoot-me-first vest since if I have to buy more gear that I won't actually use for carry, I might as well use the equipment that'll give me the most advantage in the game. And yes, I'd rather be using my carry gear.)

Because being the Safety Officers, Aldo or I may give you a hug and we don't want to get the "wrong impression" from you .....

I'm going to have to pick up that Revolution holster. That's a good deal. I'm pretty sure my existing blade tech mag pouches are ok.
I have thought about using my carry holster just to get more practice with it, though.
For dry firing I really need to just pony up and buy John's LASR system one of these days.
