Small Fry Side Match. Kind of the opposite of Classic Cowboy 10-8-4

I was thinking about side matches this morning, and I randomly thought of one that could be considered the "opposite" of Classic Cowboy.   CC of course requires the use of "big" cartridges, .40 or larger.   Well, how about a side match that uses "small" guns.  Say, .38 or smaller?

Rifle would be any main match legal rifle in .38 Special or smaller.  Maximum barrel length of 20".  10 rounds
Pistols would be any pair of Pocket Pistols.  .38 or smaller, but not .22's.   Since so many PPs are only 5 shot revolvers, they'd be loaded with 4 rounds each.
Shotgun would be any shotgun 20 gauge or smaller, .410 okay.

I think it could make for an interesting side match, allow for more shooting of more stuff on side match day, and maybe lead to a lot of fun.  I had originally thought .32 or smaller, but bumped up to .38 Special to allow for pocket pistols in .38S&W and for folks who would otherwise not have an eligible rifle.

Since everything is so small, I call it the Small Fry Side Match.

I have to pick and choose what side matches I'll participate in as it is... adding another will make said choices harder...  Who, besides yourself, has two pocket pistols that can be relied on to work properly?  Of the 3 I have, one works some of the time, one works more than that one, and 3rd is the only one that hasn't failed, YET!  Undoubtedly, it will!
