I am sure, like me, there are quite a few of you that compete in both USPSA and IPSC. Switching between the two can be quite troublesome if you're unfamiliar with the differences, or if you are a match official of both disciplines, as I am. There are some key differences, and perhaps more than you realise.

Long story short, I have compiled a document highlighting the differences. This is available for download, from Scribd. It is a work in progress, and I would appreciate feedback, so that revisions can be made, in order to keep it up to date.
 
I guess this document is more for ROs then competitors. I started to read it, but quickly got lost after first two pages... As competitor I don't really care about difference in the round count between USPSA and IPSC. Yet significant differences on equipment requirements in different divisions are either missing or too hard to find. But maybe it is due to my annoyance with this scribd web site... innovative and all, but a simple pdf would be easier to deal with. :)

If all you're interested in is the equipment requirements, then go straight to the Appendices in the respective rulebooks. The differences are easy enough to discern that way. This comparison is for rule differences. It may be for ROs only, I guess, if you think it isn't necessary to know you can take a shortcut, make use of a sight picture, get DQd for sweeping yourself when holstering your firearm etc. Use it, don't use it, I don't care.
