Howdy Hal,
You've had most of your questions answered,but I'll jump in with a few clarifications.
Your Trappers are fine for CAS,though if you come across a stage that requires more than 9 shots to be fired,you'll need to load the difference from your ammo belt. And,yes,using the same caliber in your pistols and rifles is easier,though it's not required. Lots of shooters use gun carts to haul around their guns,ammo,water and to provide a place to sit down. Not required,but nice to have. These can be built for a minimum of expense.
For new shooters,the dress code isn't stressed. Just get boots and a cowboy hat when you can.
As far as competition goes,some folks are very competitive,but most folks are laid back and are just there to shoot and hang out with their pards. Just do what is the most fun for you,and don't sweat what the other folks are doing.
If you have anymore questions,fire away,and we'll be glad to help you out!
Bellicose Bill
