About the Match
The 2025 Gateway IDPA Missouri State Championship is a (proposed) Tier 3 match sanctioned under the International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA), and marks something of a return to form in many ways. This year’s match will be hosted by Arnold Rifle and Pistol Club (ARPC), and is the first state championship match to be held there in over 5 years. Secondly, this match will be a charitable fundraiser (specific charity to be announced at a later date) which has always been an important part of the state matches at ARPC. Lastly, this match marks a return, if only temporarily, to the standard format typical of an IDPA state championship match.
This match is open to all IDPA classifications (novice and above), in the following divisions:
- Carry Optics (CO)
- Stock Service Pistol (SSP)
- Enhanced Service Pistol (ESP)
- Custom Defensive Pistol (CDP)
- Compact Carry Pistol (CCP)
- Back-up Gun (BUG)
- Revolver (REV)
- Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC)
In addition to the standard IDPA categories, we will be celebrating additional ones such as High Firefighter, High EMS, and High Veteran.
