The main reason of starting the IDPA club in Israel was to allow the average legal Israeli owners of defensive guns (and it is important to remember – the average Israeli is permitted to own exactly one defensive pistol, if at all) to train with what they got and to adequately evaluate and eventually improve their defensive shooting skills through participating in the classifiers and other local matches and training events. Nonetheless, as has been extensively discussed lately in multiple forums – from Facebook to HASLIK – many "purely Israeli" service and defensive pistols appear to be non-IDPA-legal, including Glocks C, Police Jericho, etc., for all kinds of reasons – ported barrels, full-length dust covers etc. As a result, the owners or operators of these found themselves excluded from the IDPA fun and this somewhat contradicted the key point that motivated us into IDPA in the first place.
