    I stopped shooting IDPA going on 6 years ago (before I moved to Pensacola). Due to some recent changes I actually have the time to get back into it reliably. I wanted to get check some things before just showing up to a match. I was looking at either the Pensacola or Gulf Breeze matches. Just wanted to confirm a few things.

    1. It's still just Pistol, Mags, ammo, holster, mag carrier, and vest for equipment right?
    2. A stock VP9 is considered SSP
    3. Any recommendations on vests as the one I used up north is lined and would just cook me in this FL heat? (Please note I will be looking in the extra wide double fat ass sizing range)
    4. I have my IDPA number but not the card, is the card required?

    1. You also need ear and eye protection.
    2. Yes
    3. A lot of people around hear use baggy tee shirts or light weight button down (unbuttoned) shirt. Their are unlined vest out there.
    4. Most of the time you can get by with just your number. You might be able to save a screenshot on your phone of the IDPA member page for proof.

    One other note- there is no need to buy a sun dial for a timer. You can use mine. Hope you come out to ERGC on Saturday.

    Because we don't like to die - we have been known to skip the cover requirement in the summer outdoor matches.

    Hope to see you Saturday.
