Defensive pistol shooting as a sport is the use of practical equipment including full power ammunition to solve simulated “real world” self-defense scenarios. Shooters competing in Defensive Pistol events are required to use practical handguns and holsters that are suitable for self-defense use. No “competition only” equipment is permitted in Defensive Pistol matches.

Each match will contain six courses of fire.

Registration begins at 10:00am. Shooters new to the sport will be required to participate in a brief safety check and discussion. First-time shooters are not required to be members of IDPA, but will need to be for all subsequent matches. One year memberships cost $40 and can be paid at the match. IDPA equipment is brief and simple. Any handgun, holster, magazine or other equipment that can reasonably be used for concealed carry can be used at an IDPA match. The minumum caliber requirement is 9mm/38 Special. No more than four magazines can be carried on you for a single stage: one in the gun, two in magazine holders and a fourth in a pocket to top the gun off. More magazines are helpful to keep the match moving smoothly, but not necessary. 150 rounds of ammunition will be adequate for the entire match.In keeping with the spirit of IDPA, all matches will require a cover garment. Please bring your favorite form of cover to the match.
