I started shooting both disciplines about a couple years ago, and got tired of switching between gear (and I really have an aversion to Tek-Lok). So I've switched to Safariland ELS/QLS. I've only recently started rebuilding my gear kit from scratch (for pistol, but setup for future 3-gun). I have purchased bits and pieces, and still building things out. I tried to balance economy (didn't really happen) and ease-of-use.
Here's what I ended up with:
USPSA
Carbonarms, QLS and ELS receiver plates
IDPA
Any suitable belt, with 744+ELS, UBL holster w QLS
Shared between platforms:
Holster w/ QLS
Mag holders (773) w/ELS
All told nearly $400 outlay, but at least half that cost are the shared items. Some questions:
Any thoughts on economizing even further, but maintaining swap-ability? Or any other in-between practice gear swap thoughts?
Also, is the Safariland low-ride UBL legal in IDPA?
Thanks!
