Safariland 012 and it's other manufacturer equivalents (Ghost, CR Speed, etc)

Dropped offset kydex models would probably work as well as long as they were open ended and you use a slim body 'can'

optical sensor that only triggers on movement above +-500 feet per second?

I haven't checked in on that OTHER firearms forum lately (BrianEnos.com) or been reading the stuff USPSA sends me; had a wild thought this morning and am too lazy today to go research if it's already been covered, so I'm taking the easy route and asking here.

If the Hearing Protection Act passes, I suspect that suppressors are going to become more common/available/cheaper. And I suspect that (at least in the 'racegun holsters legal' classes) people are going to want to shoot their suppressed Glocks, 1911's, whatever in USPSA and/or IDPA competition.
Has there been any planning/forethought on the part of USPSA and IDPA about accommodating this if it comes to pass?

Then there's the nuts and bolts aspect. In competition we use shot timers that depend on a 'boom'. Now I suspect that a suppressed .38 Super open class gun will still produce a pressure wave that will operate the timer (and for me to continue to feel it on my sternum if I'm not standing directly behind the shooter). Is a suppressed 1911 45 acp still going to produce enough shot/mechanical noise to run the Pact/PocketPro/CED or whatever?
