Note for the 2022 rules: This video is still relevant, the only change is that when the "failure to engage" penalty is discussed, under the new rules it would simply be a single "failure to follow the written stage briefing" procedural penalty. It is due to a failure to engage the target, but if you do it more than once you still only get one "failure to the follow the written stage briefing" penalty because you are already being hammered with misses (and perhaps tactical priority and cover penalties also) already.
This video is linked from a post on the Precision Response Training blog that discusses how to get started in IDPA--from registration to safety procedures when attending the match, and including of course the basics of the gear and rules used in IDPA. For best information, go directly to precisionrespo...
to read the post in its entirety, and see the videos in the correct context.
Second in a sequence of videos discussing the basic information needed to get started in the shooting sport of IDPA. This one is about how scoring works in IDPA matches.
Part I was about the basic gear needed, part III discusses Tactical Priority for target engagements, and part IV talks about the official techniques allowed for reloads in an IDPA match.

I like IDPA's ruleset. Yes, USPSA's does create a higher skill ceiling and in that sense is "better" as a pure sport. IDPA though does try to strike a nice balance between a fun/playable/competitive sport and a focus on things that really matter in defensive encounters. Accuracy does matter a LOT in real life. A person you're shooting at in an actual defensive encounter is posing a deadly threat and needs to be incapacitated/stopped before you safely stop. Hits need to be to vital areas, or a determined attacker will continue posing a threat. Misses in real life are a really big deal. Every bullet you fire has a lawyer attached as the saying goes. If anything innocent party hits are penalized harshly enough. The priority/cover rules can be a little weird, but there's definitely logic behind them. The concealment rule, if anything isn't pushed far enough. You certainly can carry a firearm out and about in the way IDPA competitors do, but I don't know many who do.

Good summary of idpa idiocy.

Opinions vary. If you understand that the basic underlying concept of the targets is that they are considered to be "threats," then a lot of the surrounding rules make sense. That doesn't change the fact that IDPA is a game, but again, the point is that it explains a lot of how the rules apply on a stage.

That is a lot of fiction novels. The warhammer 40k books are pretty good.

In the U.S., there isn't any such thing as an "IDPA license" --- we don't have to prove we are part of a shooting club/sport to own a firearm, unlike many other countries. The firearms that are allowed in IDPA are not limited by brand, make, or model. Instead, it is based on their size and action type. Reading the Equipment Appendices on the IDPA website will show you the requirements.
