It's really not that complicated.
Get a holster, mags, mag holders and some ammo.
Show up at local matches.
Ask the match director to put you with someone that will teach you the ropes.

I have helped dozens of new shooters.
I actually have a complete setup including guns that I loan out to get people started.

If anyone's down in Orange County, the SSA group and the Norco Running Gun/Gen-x IPSC club have holsters and mag holders for people to borrow. I know that the SSA group also has magazines for loan for the more common pistols. I've borrowed their 1911 magazines and know for certain that they have XD-40 magazines for lending.

Wow. Sorry to hear that your tactical matches are so infrequent. Between Raahauges and Prado, there's almost a shooting match every Saturday and Sunday.

So I just spent about an hour reading through the GSSF rules.
I don't own any glocks that would be legal and competetive in the stock classes.
Nor do I own a full blown open gun as I would expect to see in unlimited.
Looks like I'm "stuck in the middle".

I would have to put some stock type parts back into my 17 to run in Civilian...

Hope you do well. I was reading that the placing is kinda strange in GSSF matches. They arrange the entries in descending order of their score and then chop them up into three or four equal sized divisions and then hand out prizes according to those divisions.
