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.

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 minimum 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, matches will typically require a cover garment. Please bring your favorite form of cover to the match.
