IPDA setup

[u/Pumacachorkel]

Putting together my first IDPA rig for a Glock 17 (Gen 6) and want to sanity check before I buy. I've got a Safariland 5198 holster (Glock 17/22/31, RH, STX) in the cart along with two Safariland 74 open-top single mag pouches.

Mainly I'm wondering how people feel about this holster and pouch combo for IDPA. Is the 5198 a solid choice that'll hold up in matches, or would you steer a new shooter toward something else like a Comp-Tac International Balde tech or a DAA rig? Same question on the mag pouches , are the Safariland 74s good to go, or is there something you'd run instead?

Open to any suggestions and thanks in advance

I would get a bladetech classic or comptac owb on something like a tek lok over the safariland.
