I really enjoy the IDPA matches, even though I usually place in the middle of the pack. I normally compete with the the weapon that I am using for concealed carry or home defense. I try to use my normal carry holster.

I find it interesting that my friends shoot with long slide Glocks and full sized 1911 and then when the match is over they put those guns away and the strap on their carry guns - usually a j-frame or a pint sized .380. I really wish IDPA would expand to allow folks to actually compete with these pocket guns (and not just in some side match).
