Lot's of reloads from the belt then π

The Model 12 is allowed in WBAS. No distinction is made between take-down or non take-down.

Possibly safety?

It's not nylon, it's poly so therefore, legal

Mixing Cowboy and Wild Bunch

Then use 1 posse. Have a WB scenario, for 7 round mags, on hand and let the WB shooters shoot that. You may want to move the CAS targets to the SASS minimum recommended distances to allow WB rounds but that's up to you. -

No, No, No. Then those shooters will attend a real WB match, load mags with 7 shoot 5 and SDQ for moving with a round under the hammer. Best way to combine CAS and WB is separate posses. Use the CAS target placement but move the shooting positions back to WB distances and have WB scenarios. Use 7 round mags. Dusty Bunch, in Casa Grande, do this all the time. Works great. -
Thanks Pard, Think these are the ones I've seen.

Just got the info Ed Brown Mags can be in any condition but has to have spring and follower. $10.00/mag plus shipping. Pard sent 28 bad mags, got 28 new and, with shipping to Arizona, about $300.00
-
Checking on info. There was a company, good mags, that would exchange beat up mags, as long as follower and spring were still there, and give back a new mag. It wasn't a 1 for 1 but still.... I'll let you know what I find.
-
You're right. I only knew what I read on their website. Thanks for pointing this out. I've seen mags, in wb. that had two screw holes in the baseplate. I'm not sure if these were for base pads, but it appeared so. Again, thanks for pointing this out.

If you bothered to read the description, it states the poly/alloy pads are REMOVABLE. basepad (BP-P-.500 // BP-A-.500) Polymer or Alloy // Removable // .500" height

Tripp Research Inc links to Cobra Mag for Tripp Magazines. The 8R-45-RG and the 8R-45-RG-TAC have removable, poly, base pads and offer, removable, alloy base pads. 8 Round .45 Government 1911 Magazine

Aluminum I can see. It was widely use in WWI for combat related items. Plastic, not until WWII.

"Single Stack" is the name of the division, but it is 100% 1911 Single Stacks, no other gun is allowed. As I agreed with, however, according to USPSA Single Stack rules. Major calibers are 40 S&W, 10mm, .45acp. 8 round mags Minor calibers are .38 super, 9mm. 10 round mags. Of those who shot USPSA Single Stack Championship, 2/18/26, how many use something other than a .45acp? According to USPSA 106 used the Major PF while 129 used the Minor pf. Maybe I'm confusing Base pad with Base plate. Most mags have a welded base plate, to which is fastened a base pad. Some are leather, legal in SASS, others are plastic, aluminum, rubber, etc, which are not legal in SASS. You pays your money, you play by the rules. Don't like the rules? Lobby to have the changed.

Single Stack, being the operative word. USPSA allows .38 cal for all Divisions except Major (.40cal) Well, according to, both, USPSA and Practiscore, 235 shooters finished, 11 others DQ'd. As it, also, lists Classic .45acp, I'm assuming that refers to those who shot .45acp vs .38, 9mm, etc Based on Practiscore information: You finished 113rd, Minor PF (125pf) Wild Bunch is more like USPSA multi gun. At the last USPSA Multi Gun Championship, there were 122, registered, shooters, down from 188 the year before. Again, most Wild Bunch shooters use base pads. Leather base pads. Some shooters do shoot with no base pad, I know a couple. According to them, their magazines seat better without a base pad. They're top shooters so I'm not going to tell them they're wrong. It works for them.

He might be referring to the Western States Single Stack Championship at Rio Salado, February 18, 2026. There were 224 shooters finish the match, of which, 73 were in "Classic .45acp". The others were some other version of single stack pistol Western States Single Stack Championship 2026 | PractiScore

Well, you could alway go over to Historic 3 Gun, they allow any material for base pads, and leave the Wild Bunch shooters alone.

Just trying to ascertain your credentials in wild bunch. If you want to be this way, ok, bye.
-
So, how long have you been shooting WB?
-
44wcf is rifle As for the other stuff you rant about. When the game was created, the materials and supplies that were available at that time were used. Note, the WB Movie was filmed in 1969. If you don't like the rules and regulations of SASS WBAS, please, contact your TG and see if they can be changed.
