Purely for the sake of my curiosity, redleg, have you ever tried to host/run an action pistol competition match? Or worked one?
Just curious.

Yeah, I think even reloading 5 rounds into a magazine would slow down a match to an unacceptable level. It's one thing to stick another 5 into a revolver cylinder with a speedloader or speed strips, but ejecting a mag and manually loading 5 rounds would really eat up time.
I'm looking forward to this. Can't decide if I want to use my J-Frame just for fun or use an autoloader which will make me (barely) more competitive. :D

Yes I have. Not to be rude but I've got other things to do today beside getting into some "mine's bigger than yours" pissing match with you. You asked, I answered, I'm sorry that it wasn't to your liking. Try to have fun at your BUG match.

Not a comparison question---merely if asking you've had to deal with these sorts of problems before. After all, IDPA isn't my normal competition sport, I'm simply looking at it from a USPSA/Steel Challenge point of view.
Matches such as Steel Challenge make it clear that you need at least two magazines minimum (preferably five) to shoot the match, as reloading a magazine by hand simply takes too much time between strings--and most matches don't have that kind of time. (And as I've said, the last two IDPA matches did run over time, even though you mentioned that you don't recall any matches going past noon.) I'm pretty sure that BUG Nats didn't allow people to reload magazines by hand during the stage---because it would take too much time.
If the matches you've worked/ran haven't had that problem, it would be useful to know how you've managed it, because others certainly do have that problem.
How did you manage it?
Going back to the original above statements, while IDPA BUG Nats didn't use holsters, the rules don't actually say that holsters aren't necessary, so a simple question asking about it seems reasonable.
If you think that is "mountains of out molehills" that's certainly up to you. And if you don't care, that's certainly fine also. Most people do, however, manage to let others think differently without issue instead of saying "OMG mountains and mole hills" while still saying "not to be rude" multiple times, which is normally a good sign that rudeness is going on.
I'm sure we will have fun at the BUG match. After all, it is shooting.
