Thanks for the input. Guess I'll be shopping for another holster now.

Thanks for answering.

I wear the gun in the 3 o'clock position - the same position that I would wear a "belted" holster. Would that make a difference?

I went to an IDPA match with Brian last weekend and observed the proceedings. I liked what I saw, so I'm thinking about participating the next time that I go with Brian (probably in July). I've read the IDPA rulebook, and I'm concerned that my holster might not be allowed. I have a Defender Pro bellyband holster. It has a thumb break and a magazine holder, but it does not attach to my belt. Would I be allowed to use the holster at IDPA events? I'm not interested in competition shooting. I want to use my chosen concealment method and get the expose and practice that an IDPA event would give me. I want to train for "real life" scenarios, which I think IDPA does quite well.

Am I going to have to buy a gun belt and holster to do that? The rulebook is silent on bellyband holsters, but it's quite specific about belts and IWB and OWB holsters.
