I have.

Now the question is Mags. I shoot a 40 XD tactical from a serpa level 2 holster. Mags are 12 rounds, How many should I figure on needing?

IDPA rules allow only three mags.
One in the gun and two more, all loaded to ten rounds each, for a total of 30 rounds.
With a maximum stage round count of 18, it's plenty.
USPSA has no limits for either the stage round count or the number of mags allowed.
The longest stage I've encountered was 35 rounds.
Other games have other requirements, of course.

It is good to have 4 mags if shooting something like a 1911 in IDPA.

The fourth mag is used to load one round and then a full mag is inserted. It is also useful if you only have 10 rounds mags in a division that uses such.

It avoids having to add a round to a mag with one round down.

No offense, but some clubs are not OK with Serpas due to NDs with them. YMMV.
