I don't bother with any "defensive" pistol matches to have any degree of realism. Otherwise... why have different divisions.Yeah, I agree. Not sure why that 'cover garment' rule is there. It definitely adds a step to slow down your draw time. Maybe they want it to be more lifetime realistic since most don't carry open. Idk.
This I do know. Swinging a tactical vest is much easier/faster than lifting a shirt. It mimics a jacket I suppose.

If your revolver or 1911 is "just as good" as the polymer pistols... then you shouldn't segregate yourself.
I carry appendix... which none of these matches allow.. so I'd rather spend my "defensive" time on pistol classes.. that actually give me some reps carrying what I carry, in the manner that I carry.
So "for me"... IDPA is a waste.
