It depends. According to the rule book

rule 5.2.3 says no unless you are active duty and using your duty gear as specified in 5.2.8 then you would be able to use it at a level 1 (local match).

5.2.3 Unless otherwise specified in the written stage briefing, the belt

carrying the holster and all allied equipment must be worn at

waist level. The belt or the inner belt or both must be either permanently

fixed at the waist, or secured with a minimum of three

belt loops.

5.2.8 Competitors deemed by the Match Director to be active law

enforcement officers or military personnel may be entitled to use

their duty holsters and related equipment however, the Range

Master will remain the final authority in respect of the safety and

suitability of using such equipment at IPSC matches.

US5.2.8 Competitors deemed by the Match Director to be active law

enforcement officers or military personnel may be entitled to use

their duty holsters and related equipment when such equipment

does not strictly satisfy the equipment or other requirements of

the declared Division. The Range Master will remain the final

authority in respect of the safety and suitability of using such

equipment at IPSC matches. The use of such equipment, except

as otherwise permitted in the rules, is restricted to Level I matches

only.
