With the huge growth in popularity and sales of AR's and AK's and other combat carbine type toys, I was thinking that some kind of a two gun match would be fun and go over pretty well. Sorta like close range or HD type situations only negotiated with a carbine or a carbine and handgun combination. I'm thinking something along the lines of IDPA matches with a carbine and mandatory trnsitions to pistol and mandatory reloads for both weapon systems. Questions are below:

1) does anyone think this is a good idea?

2) Are there anything out there being done like this, other then 3 gun matches?
