Thanks guys. I'm planning on using some california competition works caddies I'm going to borrow from my dad. I think they hold 4 each, but it could be 6. I was planning on trying to learn to load weak hand first since that's what I'm set up for. I think I remember watching a video of Kurt doing it years ago.

Do yourself a favor and order some load two caddy's. It's 100% easier to learn then weakhand and about 30% faster then weakhand. If you need to borrow some let me know. I have extra AP Customs caddy's.

One thing that I intended to tell you earlier, and I'm not sure if someone has already said...Make sure that your pistol holster has decent retention. Since you'll be moving with your pistol holstered on most stages, you don't want it falling out of your holster. I know the USPSA guys usually make the retention light for a faster draw, or maybe they don't. I'm just a C class production shooter, which means that I can only give advice to D class shooters.

I'll see what I can do. I would definitely be up for borrowing some up if you have them, but I'm trying to avoid spending money on 3gun stuff this season because I know that will be a slippery slope for me. For this first match, I'll probably just bring what I have and play for fun.

Roger that Shane. I'll make sure I tighten it up.

I think you are way too smart to keep up with words that have but one sound for a whole week.

I'm a D class uspsa shooter and Shane's advice is good!

I got to watch and tape the last 3 stages of the last OKCGC 3Gun match, because my retention on my pistol was not enough.
On the long range (100yd) stage when I went prone on the carpet so did my pistol.
When I stood up, Mike said stop. I thought crap have I already timed out... He pointed down. I got DQ'ed.

Good point on the gun pouch post. Most three gun shoots don't make you draw real fast. Make sure the gun stays in the pouch 'till you want it to come out.

Pfft, that's how Mike spoke for the first 27 years of his life.

Hooked on meth, worked for me. That is how we roll in the Show Me State. "Show me, I do not know how".

He popped his cherry and his world expanded.

AP Customs is all jacked up right now. Pick up some Invictus practical caddy's.

Are you insenuating that there may be a shop around here with pro type stuff where a person could make ready for competition by going to a dot Com website via a quick link picture perhaps?

DING.....DING.....DING!
Winner!
I really wanted AP and couldn't find them at their site or distributors. So even went looking at others.
Ok....I found some sort of cheap types with bad reviews, and just couldn't bite the bullet.

I have CA pinwheels, just wanted a different style.

Heck..... Accessorizing is a girls prerogative!
