Howdy all,
I have decided to start participating in the local USPSA matches, though unfortunately depending on some class scheduling i might not be able to participate again untill November...
since I only own a 1911, I will be shooting in the Single Stack division.
bunch of probably unneeded overly detailed stuff removed. summed up best i can below
Basicly i have a crappy rig:
With the above combo, I'm lucky I made it through that first match with neither an equipment failure nor a "Wardrobe Malfunction" (Note: i'm kinda pear shaped, I'm seriously thinking I should find out if anyone will freak if wear my Suspenders next time)
therefore I would appreiciate any guidance others who shoot Single Stack can give me with regard to what they use or would recomend. As well as any guidance on any "gear gaffes" to avoid.
Current thought is running toward a Comp-tac paddle or belt holster, eventually one of their "Belt feed" mag pouch sets (if legal for SS), and a new properly sized and stiffened belt, this last one may actually be the biggest pain.
anyway, enough of my ramblings. thank you in advace for any and all advice you would care to share. It is appreciated.

Basicly i have a crappy rig:
- Blackhawk SERPA Sporter, that I bought because i could get an employee discount on it at my then job (2 years ago)
- an 8-in-line mag pouch that's really a storage case with belt loops and a removable top-flap,
- a choice of belt between a weak spined (getting worn out) 1.5" leather "bubba belt" (what i used in the match on the 11th), and a Wilderness "instructors belt" W/ CSM option that wound up being about 1-2" too large and the polymer core won't let me snug it up enough, also i'm on the large side w/ a waist over 50" so no returns were allowed on the wilderness belt
With the above combo, I'm lucky I made it through that first match with neither an equipment failure nor a "Wardrobe Malfunction" (Note: i'm kinda pear shaped, I'm seriously thinking I should find out if anyone will freak if wear my Suspenders next time)
