[Good Holster/belt?]

Thanks for all the good info. I checked out the CR belt online, and will definitely order one.

Any suggestions as far as magazine pouches? I bought 2 extra mags with the pistol.

I guess I screwed up - I checked the "Production Gun List", and saw the Taurus PT111 listed, so I went ahead and purchased the PT111 Millenium Pro. I guess I'll be starting out in the "L-10" division...

Going to Fredericksburg next month to see my first match; I'm really looking forward to it.

+1 On the CR Speed Belt and Kydex. For Limited and Open I love my Guga Ribas holster.

Which gun will you be shooting in your first match? That will dictate which division and which holster and mag pouches you will need. You may, for example, use a good stiff belt you already own with a Kydex holster and a couple of mag pouches to get started in Production or Single Stack.

I just purchased a Taurus PT111 Millenium Pro 9mm. I know, it's not a great "competition" pistol, but I am just starting out, and it's what I will carry for self-defense as soon as my CCW permit comes in.

I just really want to get to be a better shot with my self-defense weapon first, and have fun shooting. I go to my local indoor range at least once a week, but I'm looking for something a bit more challenging.

Once I get more involved in the sport, I plan to get a 5" semi-automatic. Of course, I plan to shoot in the "Production" class. The nearest USPSA club is about an hour away, and they have matches the first Sunday of every month, so I plan to head up to at least watch the match next month.

I'm a complete newbie - haven't been in a match. I'd like to get advice on a good holster/belt to purchase. Anyone have any suggestions?
