The way they worded that is typical of the level of technical writing expertise in their documentation. Having a rule requiring "normal" stuff? Really ? What is "normal"? It is ridiculous to have a requirement written using that language. Please IDPA get a freaking tech writer to write your most important document.

In any event it's unlikely anyone would even know that's a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHicks Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 .80 kydex seems kind of thick. Especially two layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45 Raven Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Are you sure you don't mean a thickness of .080"? .80 is almost a full inch thick" .080" is pretty typical for a Kydex holster, so two layers would be .160" thick. That would make the holster 20% as thick as .80" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
