I sent a question about rules, and think that maybe this ought to be clear for all, so here is the response and my response:
Pxxxxxx,
Thank you for your response. I suppose I should clarify my question a bit. I am not a new shooter, but I have grown accustomed to every match I go to pretty much making up their own rules with reguards to divisions and classes, so I have learned that when I am planning my rig, there are a few questions I need to ask. For example, In Rolla a few weeks ago, the match director allowed a compensated rifle with a red dot optic to compete in heavy metal, just because it was .308 [m1A socom]. I have also seen a Glock .45 in heavy metal [loaded to capacity] just because it's a .45.
My holster question was specific, because I have shot probably 20 matches with it, but have gotten told no three times and ended up having to shoot a fobus. The Safariland 6004, as I have it set up, is a thigh rig. 17 out of 20 matches have not blinked an eye at this [in Rolla, a couple of the RO's were running this same rig]. However, a couple of matches in northern Illinois have hauled out the green book and gesticulated wildly about the "no thigh rig's" and the "butt of the gun" rules. Ergo, my question about how tightly are you enforcing IPSC/USPSA rules. DPMS rules state:"7.2.1 Any holster, which will safely retain the handgun during vigorous movement, is allowed." but USPSA rules disallow drop or thigh rigs and tie downs.
I just don't want to show up at the match and have to look for another holster [or other piece of kit] because of a miscommunication about the rules.
