Ok, I really miss shooting with you guys. Work and new committments with the Army Reserve have prevented me from coming out this year...same ol' story. I get a few months where I can shoot, then over a year where I can't.
Anyway, as you'll recall on the rare occasions I do get to shoot with you, I shoot SSP with my police-issue gun and leather. Recently, however, I made the switch to our new gun, the S&W M&P (still in 9mm though...the brass loves that round for some unexplainable reason). Our new holster accomodates a flash light to remain attached to the gun at all times -- no need to put it on and take it off every time you slap leather. Great improvement for a guy who works the midnight shift.
My problem is this: The holster *requires* the flash light to remain attached. You cannot take it off or else the holster won't hold the gun. If I remember correctly, IDPA rules do NOT allow a shooter to shoot with the light attached.
Can I leave it attached and shoot "outlaw?" I'm all about shooting with my actual gear if possible...winning trophies be darned.
