I was planning on using a G17. I have a kydex IWB holster, IWB mag holster and a Kore belt. Eyes and ears. Would I need more than three magazines?Sign up and go shoot if you are going to ACC. A great group there and if you let them know its your first, they'll take you under their wing and help guide you along.
Do you know the equipment limitations/needs of IDPA?
This. you just need a cover garment. It can be a shooting vest, jacket, or unbuttoned casual shirt. I've seen it all. Ive also seen guys wear untucked tees when its hot. As I recall you can print, your gun just cant be seen if you hold your arms directly out to your sides (like a T), which causes most cover to rise an inch or two.IDPA if I recall correctly only allows one mag in the gun and two on the belt. Loaded to ten rounds unless something has changed. I would check their website and it will give an approximate round count for the match, but should always have 300 with you.
I shot up at ACC several years back before changing employers and will second what CameraMonkey stated that were a great group of guys at that time.
It really is a fun time, and it sounds as though you have all you need, but may need to have something as "cover" such as a shirt tail or vest to draw from under.
You’re good, appendix is ok, lights are ok, ssp is now 15 rounds, 10 for CO/ESP/CCP, just enough to hide the gun counts as cover. 3 mags is all you will need.I was planning on just wearing my normal clothes and using what I wear when carrying concealed. From the videos I’ve watched that seems to be ok rule wise.
Crap. Missed that update to the rules. Last year sucked for me. Literally every first or second saturday was either weather or life got in the way so I didnt get to shoot.You’re good, appendix is ok, lights are ok, ssp is now 15 rounds, 10 for CO/ESP/CCP, just enough to hide the gun counts as cover. 3 mags is all you will need.

Hope to get back into it starting in April.

Dont forget mag holders. I recommend these for gun games. (not for EDC though)Thanks everyone for the replies. I think this will get me going.
How many mag holders will I need? One or two?Dont forget mag holders. I recommend these for gun games. (not for EDC though)
