I want to do the USPSA clinic at Quantico on April 9th. Unfortunately, I don't have a full kit ready yet, so I need to make some last minute purchases. I'd be using a full-size RIA 1911 Tactical. I know I'm not going to win with that, owing to mag capacity if nothing else, but it's what I have, and the training should be useful nonetheless. IDPA is more of my style in the long run, but this clinic is USPSA-based, so that is what I shall do.
I've started off by ordering a double-clip IWB supertuck-style holster from this guy. I'm also going to need a mag holder. I was thinking of getting a double-mag holder from him, but I really don't know whether to go IWB or OWB. What are the disadvantages/advantages of each? Are both legal for both USPSA and IDPA? Is one optimal over the other? Would it be too much trying to wear both an IWB holster and an IWB double mag holder?
Thanks for the advice guys! I'm obviously entirely new to this, and I want to hear what the veterans are saying so I don't make any mistakes in purchasing the wrong stuff.
