Im looking at getting into ipsc soon and was wondering which belts and holsters everybody uses? I’ll have to read up on which division I can be in but I have a Glock 17 with a factory slide and also a aftermarket slide that has a red dot on it. I plan to take the black badge course this year and then go watch some matches. Any tips or advice on the gear or sport? Thanks

CR speed belt + CR speed mag pouches + blade tech or any kydex holster + drop offset rig

With your aftermarket slide you can’t compete until you restore it back to factory otherwise you’d be competing in open

Would you recommend going factory and starting in the production division or go aftermarket with the red dot and compete in open first.

I just got the red dot so I’ll be taking it out for the first time this spring. Also for production division does everything have to be stock? What happens if I switch to a different oem Glock iron sight that I bought separately from the firearm and also is it fine if I have grip tape on the handle? No stippling so I can remove it I’d need be.

Yes no stippling and grip tape is only allowed in certain areas of the handle. It’s all in the Black badge rule book
