I compete with a Glock 19. It is my carry gun. Granted I don't always carry, but when I do in the winter, it's the Glock. I also use full power ammo. I also show up with all my other normal carry gear; leather belt, leather holster with safety retention clip, etc. I don't understand all these guys who use special non-carry guns and gear because isn't the purpose of competing and practicing to become a more effective shot if you should ever need to draw and shoot?

IMHO, unless you are top level competitor, the equipment won't make a difference in your performance as much as more practice (up to a certain point. I tried competing with a smartcarry and... let's just say I don't recommend it, but a normal owb leather holster with safety retention clip should be fine. a safety clip or thumb break only takes less than a fraction of a second more to draw.)
