Signed up this week. The course requirements specify a hard shell open topped magazine holster. Will HSGI tacos meet the hard shell requirements?

I will be running a belt with a pair of HSGI tacos and a dump pouch.

I did the course this past Sunday. At least three guys using tacos, they're good to go.

Can confirm, was there Sunday.. Wearing HSGI tacos.. although on a Chest Rig..

Bring minimum 4 mags, if not 6 or you'll be running back to the bench more often.

I was also at yesterday's course. I used a 6 pouch chest-rig. It worked perfectly, but it definitely added more weight than I would have cared for to my chest and shoulders. I would definitely say that 6 mags is a good recommendation. It means more time shooting and less time running back to the bench to gas up your mags. Also, try to avoid the 10 pound LAR mags. The exercises will be a lot easier to do if you have USGI or MagPul 5/30 mags (or something similar). Don't get me wrong, almost anything will work. However, you'll have a lot more fun if you can adhere to these recommendations. YMMV.

agreed, watching the one guy fumble with short pistol mags during exercises was not fun.. definitely listen to what ccain said.
