Leave the mouse gun parked on a chair near its targets... Of course the primary has been shot to slide lock
Easy safe transition... No ankle or pocket holster issues and having at least one gun empty should speed up the make clear
But I suppose we would need cases or gun rugs for the little guns?

If you want to shoot your micro .40 against .380's and .32's, you are more than welcome to do so!
Benjamin and I were talking about doing another "battlefield pickup" stage, but we're thinking about a 9mm or .38. I will give it some more thought.
As far as the Mousegun Shootout, 3 mags total would get you thru any stage.

Start with the fart er mouse gun with 5 rounds (all can do this) make it 2 targets 2 hits each with one round for a make up and the gun has to be shot dry. Position the pistol to one side of the lane orientated at an angle down range (in whatever condition you want the gun in) then have the shooter move at an angle fwd away from the first gun.
Or
Three targets and it has to be 1 to the head box or two to the body, shooters choice.
Or
Five targets one to the head box.
Morale is to shoot the gun dry and place the pistol away from and orientated from the shooters line of movement.
You could also start with the pri down loaded and do the same. I always had the mag dropped and slide locked back. Many don't like that but it helps with folks who don't know how to count. Revos had the slide open.
Or start down range and move back. This keeps the first gun in front of you and is faster to clear.
Need to ensure what ever pistol is shot first is not allowed to be handled until everyone is up range.
You could stay static upon transiting and have the first pistol placed where ever the drop pistol is picked up from of course orintated away from and down range of the shooter.
Sounds like fun.

Guys, we've gone from a simple idea of adding a Mousegun Division, to a challenge issued to all the snubby shooters to a battlefield pickup, to a battle field pickup with a Mousegun.
I will take the appreciated suggestions offered under advisement since i alteady have stages in mind for the 15th, this next match will not involve a battlefield pickup. Altho the challenge to the snubby shooters still stands.

They do, but that doesn't apply to us!
Our take will be more challenging and fun.

No, sold the Mustang, along with the spare mags.
I have a Sig 238, but only two mags. I sent a defective one back to Sig for a swap, so I hope it gets here in time.
If it does not and IF you show up with a snub, I'll shoot one, too, but I'd prefer the 238

Well, I did make a real snazzy holster for it. It's like wearing a magpouch, only it's a gun!

Matt.... the Winchester white box (Wally world) is 130 grain FMJ... it's a lot softer load... and to tell you the truth I run 158 grain semi wadcutter lead out of my short 38's for self defense (but I am a fossil)..Makes a nice hole... tends to flatten and expand when it hits bone.
That 130 grain will hit close to the sights and works pretty good at the stuff we do at Heartland...Remington offers a similar load.
