Adam,
This is Dale. Get a holster, belt, magazines and magazine pouches and give me a call. I have all the stands we need to set up a practice stage. Or, we can just show up to a match and jump in. There is no better way to learn than doing it. I had to borrow equipment my first two or three matches. I had never even seen it done. I told Kirk my first 3 gun match that I would turn around and go home if I hadn't already given him my money. ha
I hear you may be working days now so stop by. I may have a holster that would get you through your first match (not one that you would want to use everytime).
