I'm looking to start shooting GSSF and IDPA matches. The GSSF seems pretty straight forward from an equipment list. Basically a Glock, a few mags, and ammo.
IDPA though has me a little more stumped. I have a Glock 34 which I think is IDPA SSP legal. I'm not real sure as it sounds like a slide with lightening features isn't allowed and the 34 has them stock. So if the 34 is legal, I'm a little unsure what upgrades are ok. It seems a new set of sights would be ok as well as potentially a new trigger.
The real question comes about holsters, belts, and clothes. I haven't been to an IDPA match yet and plan to watch a few before I participate, but what holsters seem to be dominant in IDPA? I'm sure many use their every day carry holster, but outside of them, what seems popular? And with the holster comes the belt. I've never shopped for a belt for a holster and don't know what's good and what isn't. Any advice? And finally, what clothes seem to be popular here as well? With the entire concealment thing I'm not sure if an IWB holster with a shorter shirt or an OWB with a longer shirt, etc, is predominant.
