Before you go buying a bunch of equipment, I'd try the match with what you have, even if you're loading shot shells from a trap/skeet pouch, or mags from a pocket. Look at what others are using, see if it fits how you want to shoot.

But, to help answer your question, here is what I use for our club's 3-gun matches.

Pistol - Glock 34 - Mags on belt - 2 min.
Rifle - S&W M&P15 with Red Dot - One mag on belt in comp-tac holder.
Shotgun - Win 1300 Defender - 6 shot Tac Star on gun, 8 shot Blackhawk arm ban

I usually wear pants/shorts with big pockets, just in case I have to take more ammo along than I can put on my arm/belt.

Here is a vid of me in one of my first 3-Gun matches, might be different than what you may run, but it could give you some ideas.

Also, I always take 2 to 3 times more ammo than recommended for the match, just in case. You might have to redo a stage for various reasons, and running out of ammo stinks.

Furthermore, check out the 3-Gun forum on Brian Enos's forums, LOTS of good information there.

For your first match, take it slow, don't worry about speed. Focus on accuracy and following the rules. Your goal should be to be the most accurate and least penalized person out there. Speed comes later.

And have fun!!!!!!!
