    I go by this rule now. I remember one time I practiced for a match, cleaned my gun and didn't realize I tweaked a spring during disassembly/assembly. The following day I had several malfunctions that kinked my match.

    Do to circumstances beyond my control I haven't shot IDPA for a while but last I did gloves where not allowed. Has this changed? Or maybe I'm mistaken? Glad you're having fun! I miss it and hope to rejoin the fun ASAP.
    Some 1911's may need frequent cleaning. My Colt doesn't and I treat it like a Glock. It gets more lube than a Glock needs but that's about it.

    If they are illegal it's such a disadvantage that no one would ever really care regardless. Considering there's plenty of shooting matches in the freezing cold I'd be surprised if they were completely illegal though.

    I have no experience with pre-2005 rule books but none of the ones I've read (2005 - present day) say anything about gloves. I would be very surprised if gloves were ever not allowed.

    Yes, I must be mistaken. I did a quick google search with no ban on gloves found. Some clubs do stages where gloves are required to simulate winter use. Even shooting specific gloves would yield no competitive advantage.

    ...Why not simply shoot that stage during the winter? That'd be a fairly accurate winter simulation.

    I don't know. Just reporting on what I found out.
