I like many are incredibly disappointed and frankly quite angry about the new IDPA rule book...the holster and mag' carrier specifications in particular.
IDPA has violated its own principles and imposed a ridiculous ban on affordable holsters and quality OWB Kydex holsters that can be successfully and reasonably carried.
Uncle Mike's holsters in particular have been outlawed because of their "assault offset" providing a "competitive advantage" and being impractical. MANY new shooters "broke their teeth" on an UM's belt slide and then moved on...when Leatham, Burkett, and Sevigny start using UM's and it's all the rage, I'll concede their point...THERE IS NO COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE...it's an economic one.
Similarly with the better Kydex offerings from Blade-Tech, Cen-dex, Kytac and equivalent offerings which may violate the new rule by showing a "sliver of light" and if strictly enforced, will also be considered "assault holsters" inappropriate for IDPA use.
Just when gun rights activists like myself were enjoying the repeal of the AWB and the continued progress toward nation wide CCW...the IDPA BoD comes out with a ban of their own.
THIS CANNOT STAND!!!
Please write a strong letter or e-mail of protest...WE ARE THE IDPA!!! If Ken, Bill and the others want to get together for a private shoot with their Sharkskin gear, FINE, but we need to stand up for our sport and let them know how misguided their silly ban is.
Thanks in advance for your efforts,
