Burt the Undertaker

Just looked up the rules. Mags must be "standard" length and weigh a maximum of 3oz. I would guess that your mag sticking out the bottom of the mag well wouldn't qualify as "standard" length... You could use them for practicing or possibly local matches but they would not be allowed for sass competitions.

Practice, practice,practice and then also practice for the worst. Be able to clear jams and such safely and quickly. Test all your magazines to be sure they feed and release freely. Then practice, practice, practice some more. Get someone else to load your magazines with a snap cap (dud round) in one of them somewhere. It will help you practice clearing your pistol and using your "barney".

My personal preference is only one gun belt. Im a bigger guy, so my waist can accommodate more things. I'm left handed and wear the buckle on the back of my left hip, out of the way of the pistol holster. I carry: 2 rifle reloads, minimum of 6 magazine pouches (4 mags for the stage, 2 Barneys)and 6 shotgun (just in case I forget to load the shotgun...). I use pouches with snaps on them, so I can add and subtract mag pouches as needed for various stages. People with smaller figures, usually need 2 belts but there's also a lot of people that just use the same shotgun belt they use in cowboy.
