Besides, it gives you the opportunity to do a flashy, but fast and totally legal, reholstering move. There are fewer than 70 SASS shooters who do this -- I created a special group, called SOBAD (Society Of Bass-Ackward Duelists), just for us. 'Tis way cool to say "I'm SOBAD!!!"
Be prepared, though, because the officials are gonna watch you like a bunch of hawks until they're convinced you can draw and reholster both pistols without breaking the 170.
Y'all, my photography efforts have been stymied by -- GASP! -- rain in Southern California. As soon as things dry out a bit, I'll be posting pics of my CAS "arsenal".
