The two G19 shooters placed poorly. If memory serves the gentleman shooting the P239 placed low in the rankings but had a single digit points down.Originally Posted by YVK
It's prudent to add that these folks weren't shooting to win the game, they were there to shoot the scenarios, if that makes sense.
I do know of one person that placed extremely well with a Glock 26 at the Florida State Match several years ago, maybe 2005 or 2007 timeframe. But, it was "extremely well" in Sharpshooter, IIRC.
Allowing appendix carry of mags and the gun would go a long way for me.
Hell, even allowing mags forward of the hip would be tempting. It would be nice to actually use my carry holster and pouches instead of a specific IDPA gamer rig.
Full cap mags would be fantastic as well.
Since this is bound to turn into an IDPA wish-list (if it hasn't already), I have a question....
Why does this matter so much to people? It's something that used to bother me, then I got over it, so I'm curious as to why people cling to it so much, and it is so-often repeated.
Actually, let's not turn this in to a wish list, we've had plenty of those threads.
Let's keep this discussion about the OP and the two options at hand - and AIWB is not in that list.
Because people take stuff too seriously.
Optics and lasers....at my local club they let me shoot outlaw with a rmr G17 or m&p9. Granted I do hear a ton of snickering. At the same club held 3 gun match Justin and I ran rmr pistols only and got the " if I had a $500 sight on my pistol I'd shoot that good too".....
Well, why don't you?¿?

17 service pistol, 19 has always in my recollection been classed a compact and the 26 a sub-compact. IDK.

Thinking about this some more...
I'm not sure the "optics and lasers" option has the cash, interest, and tech to be sustained. Strictly from a participation standpoint there are more barriers to entry in that proposed division, and less people to participate, than in the "compact" division. I like that a new shooter could come out with his ACTUAL carry gun and compete right out of the gate without trying to compete against others with a Glock 34 or similar. I know that when I started out I had no idea what guns other people in my same division were using, nor the advantage that gun might give them.
