1. Eye & Ear Protection (MANDATORY!!)


Recommendations for Eye Protection: Oakley sunglasses or Pilla Eyewear


Recommendations for Ear Protection: Walkers Razor Slim/ 3M Peltor

Electronic earmuffs are highly recommended. They amplify range commands and conversation while cutting out harmful gunshots.


2. A Reliable Handgun:


  • Divisions: IPSC has several divisions.

 The most common for beginners are:

 

- Productions: For stock, double-action or striker-fired pistols (limited modifications). Magazine capacity limit of 15 rounds. 

   A very popular and cost-effective starting point.


- Production Optic (PO): Similar to Production but allows red dot sights. Magazine capacity limit of 15 rounds.


- Standard: Allows for more modifications and higher magazine capacity (max 140mm length). Often uses double-action 

  9mm pistols.


- Open: The "unlimited" division with compensators, optical sights and larger magazines. The most expensive.
