IDPA Nebraska Indoor Match Nov 8th
mott555:
I edited my previous post and you must not have seen it. I'd probably want to compete with the LC9 if reloading time is a factor. I don't have any speedloaders for the .22 revolver.
SeanN:
I don't believe you can compete with a .22 anyway, so yes, use the LC9. :) Do you have the other equipment you'd need? It's possible they can work out some way for you to shoot without it (that's up to Ron and the other match organizers).

I think so. I have an OWB holster and a locking case. Only two magazines but Thunder Alley usually has them in stock so I can probably buy/borrow a third. I'll have to check out my holster tonight and make sure it meets the requirements, it was designed for an LC9 and the like, but I'm unsure about the front strap above the belt thing.
No mag pouch, but I can tuck mags into my belt and that ought to work well enough for now.

You'll very likely be fine. Usually the only holsters that do not meet that requirement are "dropped". IDPA likes to discourage what it considers "gamer" holsters that are dropped and offset. If it simply attaches to your belt or a paddle at a "normal" ride height, you should be fine.

I note also that if you want, I've got a Glock 19, a holster (you right-handed? I've got a left-handed holster also), mag pouches, and extra mags if you want to try it with something not quite as small. If you've got factory 9mm ammo, you are welcome to borrow the rig for the match.
Nothing wrong with shooting an LC9---but shooting something a bit larger (with actual mag pouches) is simply easier, and for your first match you are welcome to make things simpler for yourself so you can concentrate on safely shooting. :) (If you want to borrow it, please reply here or PM me before 6am tomorrow, please.)
(I'd let you borrow my extra G17 rig instead, but I need change out some springs first, and I won't have time to dig out my springs before tomorrow.)
One last thing---bring a coat/jacket/vest or baggy shirt to wear, as concealment is normally required to start.
