what's estimated round count ?
any restrictions on flash light types and how they'll need to be held or supported ?
I know, no head lamps allowed, but any other restrictions ?

Round count...?
For these matches I'd say bring 100 and you'll be good.
As for lights...

Any hand held light will suffice.

No gun mounted lights.

No gun mounted lights.

Wait what?

P226 with TLR-2S and Raven Concealment holster....

Can you just put the small set of us in a different class?

Plead your case to bersmith.

Will do at the match, spend all this cash on gucci gear and then not get to use it at the super rare matches that have low light stages.

So far only come in handy at the EESA Zombie.

Many fall or rather jump into that trap...
But all sorts of fancy gear and then finding out its not necessary.

Good luck convincing bersmith to create another division.

He has many internal organs, but a heart ain't one of 'em...

Oh, I sure wouldn't trade my firearm mounted lights for anything, would be nice to get some dynamic practice (aka a match) in with them, that's all.

Not going to happen.....sorry

 

[P90Puma]

Not going to happen.....sorry

What's the issue with the light? Safety? (it has a proper holster and hasn't been an issue in previous matches) Or Scoring? ('procedural' per shot with the light on? because I'll take the scoring penalties ...) Or something else?

Thanks.

The spirt of the game is street guns and guns with lights dont conceal well so we have decided not to allow them. Them is the rules and we all have to follow them.

Raven concealment IWB phantom holster = basically invisible and a hell of a lot more concealed then most holsters I have seen.

But, I can see I am overruled (it's not my match, you guys set the rules) and not going to win this argument, so serious question:

Am I supposed to wear my holster that is OWB, that doesn't conceal, that works with no light mounted?

Or my IWB holster that works only with the light mounted and not turn on the light?

Might I suggest organizing your own match with the rules you would like to use. I would attend, as I am sure others would.....nothing wrong with having more matches!

You may not have a light attached to the gun, so it will be your OWB, no-light holster.

I'm not sure how else it can be said...weapon mounted lights are not allowed.

This has been hashed out in IDPA as well as people made the same arguments you have. Despite them being concealable and practical, if they were allowed, everyone would have one just so they can keep up and be competitive. End of the day it only increases the cost of the sport.

Besides, shooting low light or no light is barely even a challenge with a weapon mounted light.

.....sorry

No you're not...
