I got a pair of Merrell All Out Rush this year and so far they've been awesome. They're very comfortable, light, and breathe well. I especially like the larger toe box. I don't mind spending on shoes either but I got these on sale for $70 which I don't think is too bad.

I overlap in the back. Kind of a pain in the ass if I have to take it off and reposition everything, but I prefer the excess belt to be out of the way.

+1 for the Blade Tech DOH. I have a CR Speed belt and holders. Double alpha is pretty much the same design isn't it?

I used to have an SP01 and currently use a G34. I'd suggest Blade Tech holsters for both, the dropped and offset holster for the SP01 the is quite nice and not too expensive. Right now I have a cheaper model blade tech for the G34 which works ok, but is a little short (meant for a G17 or 19) and not dropped and offset. I will soon be replacing it with a Blade Tech Black Ice, which is the same as the SP01 holster I mentioned but with a larger front opening.

Thanks everyone! Chad, I have yet to try out USPSA and I think it would be cool to classify. June sounds like a good opportunity. I'm over on Boomershooter too (hence the jersey in the pic).

Nordic components is an awesome company, I would definitely go with them for your shotgun needs.

Hello everyone, made this account a while back but forgot about it until I recently started lurking on the forums again. My name is Mike, I grew up plinking and varmint hunting in Oklahoma. Got my first taste of competition shooting fairly young when my dad entered us in a couple CMP service rifle matches, and then got me involved in NRA junior marksmanship. After college I bought my first pistol and the addiction to competing that I found when I was younger returned to me. I've mostly shot steel challenge the last few years, but the 3 gun nation championship came to town and had a side stage set up for spectators to shoot...that was that, I had to have more. So here I am, trying to soak up everything I can in hopes that each match I'll suck a bit less than the last.
