I own one of those, except for the 75 Shadow (non SP-01), and at a sanctioned match just tighten your belt really tight and you will pass. This depends too on your body shape.Originally Posted by packfan

They don't wear vests either.
Ahem...Actually when the weather is good, I do. And, I occasionally see others do the same.They don't wear vests either.

Zinc is right about vests. Around here - if you see a vest, it is a fleece or similar outdoor warmth oriented vest. I think I've seen a 'tac' vest about 5 times in all the years here. I bought two concealed carry everyday vests and they sit in the closet or go to a class. Belts - you can find nice looking but sturdy gun belts that work everyday. I shoot out of my EDC holster and mag pouches with one of those belts. Putting on two belts and my pants on backwards - I'll pass. But I don't have a microsecond competition mindset.
Seems to me that IDPA is getting USPSA creep - meaning equipment nuances for winning as compared to practical carry. Isn't that why IDPA split from IPSC?

I have:
The original Team Mediocre match vest.
An Armadillo Concealment vest really specialized for competition with my sponsors' logos.
A tackytickle vest without logos bought on sale. Often worn to exercise class and subsequent lunch over sweats.
An unmarked quilted vest for cool weather. Saw one just like it on a blonde chick at walmart checkout.
Assorted oversize shirts, even Aloha shirts for warm weather.

Agree. See my post under New IDPA Rules.

I often wear the fleece that I use for everyday concealment at an IDPA match.

My humble suggestion to the OP is stop worrying about gear and go to the match. Worst case your score won't count. Since this is your first match it won't really matter.
Go shoot, learn, repeat. Then think about gear.

Not in Texas. You would literally burst into flame 10 months out of the year.
During the summer I actually use a shotgun vest as its primarily mesh, but CC wise I'm a made man in the Hawaiian Shirt Mafia.
Best post yet. At one local club, we often will have some guys running their USPSA outfits and just going NFS. Everybody enjoys playing with the bang stick.My humble suggestion to the OP is stop worrying about gear and go to the match. Worst case your score won't count.
