I'm thinking about going for my first ever IDPA match (actually it'll be
my first pistol match of any kind) this weekend!
Please help me decide on what gun I should bring.
I carry a Kahr PM9 and have it loaded at home. Since IDPA is about
defensive situations, I probably have a high probability of using the
PM9 if any. Should I bring that ? (I only have 4 mags for it: 2 x
6 rds, 2 x 7 rds.)
Also, should I bring a pocket holster since that's what I normally
use? Drawing is kind of slow(~2sec) and I cannot reholster the
gun without using both hands and taking the holster out (this
takes maybe 20sec).
I'm thinking that maybe I should just bring a normal-sized gun for
my first IDPA shoot since I'm going to be nervous might as well not
worry about mag capacity and have a gun that is easier to shoot.
I've never had a chance to watch a match, so don't know what
people are using. I've not seen any discussions regarding pocket
holsters and not sure it they are even legal (but seems they should
be). Is there any reholstering in the IDPA course?
thanks---
