I’m a 34 F living near Atlanta, GA. I have always been fascinated by 3-gun and wanted to take classes. If my income increases this coming year, I want to make my dreams a reality! I’m literally wanting to train because I think it is bad ass and because I want to be able to fend for myself if the world ends LOL! I have my own handgun that my husband got me. I’ve been to the range several times. I’m a lot more comfortable handling a gun and having it on me, but don’t do it often anymore because I don’t go to the range enough to feel 100% comfortable carrying it and potentially having to using it. I don’t even know where to begin with 3-gun. I think my first step will be to re-familiarize myself with the gun I own and get comfortable with it. What would your recommended first steps be for a complete newbie?

Looking to get into 3 gun competitions

What’s the better option of the two?

Mainly concerned about reliability, ease of quad loading, and after market support.

I am looking for some match savers for different applications, 930 JM pro, 1301 Mod 2, M4... etc...

Looking for MLOK versions and regular screw in kinds, just trying to see what is out there and what is preferred by users. Looking for actual feedback.

Google search is flooded with 3d printed stuff that I can make at home...

Almost done with this abomination. Spring-assisted 8-shell reloader...

Simple question. Why are box fed magazines limited to the open division?

It just doesn't make logical sense.

If box fed shotguns are soo great they must be in open, one would think that's all we'd see in open. But we don't. In fact it's the opposite. All those that know say tube shotguns are king.

I'm curious as to the "why?"

Hey guys, does anyone know if the CZ 1012 is a good platform for 3 gun? Also how difficult it might be to modify? I'm new to 3 gun and am borrowing my cousins tricked out Stoeger M3K for now, but need to get my own shotgun eventually. But I've only got a budget of around 1000 bones for a base. Thanks in advance!

A buddy of mine just accidentally put a 5.56 round through his boot… he’s all well and will make a full recovery in time.

But we need some nicknames to make sure he never forgets it.

7.2.4.5 No electronic or optical sights are allowed on shotguns in this division.

Does this literally mean only bead sights allowed?

What about a shotgun with a fiber optic front sight like the A300 Ultima Patrol or Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical?

Cheers

I am just getting into 3 gun shooting and currently just have a basic red dot on my rifle. Looking to get something new that can be used across a wider range of distances and is fairly durable without blowing my budget.

I was thinking of getting an Sig Tango but curious if there are other recommendations out there worth looking at?

Story time: I want to hear yours.

What was the best match or moment in a match you've had thus far?

I just got into three gun (first event last sunday) and I was interested in ways to practice between events. My friend and I have five gongs and five poppers and are looking at grabbing some silouettes and a small spinner.

The idea is being able to throw this stuff in a pickup and set up a tiny course in public land that we already shoot at. I was wondering if:

• anyone here has already done this?

• budget alternatives to expensive/large targets like texas stars?

• how do you set up shooter boxes and places to drop/pick up guns?

• cheapest place to get cardboard targets (or do you just cut them out yourself?)

I am very curious about getting a long rifle and shotgun to participate in 3 gun matches. What would you recommend for rifle and shotgun? Already have a pistol in each main caliber except 10mm, 357 sig.

This is an open, brainstorming session as I'm entering the tail end of my deployment.

I've seen various posts about how 3-gun isn't exciting as a spectator, which I can understand.

But how can it be more exciting then?

What can I, as an aspiring content creator, do to help the sport?

Is there such a thing as "heavy open"? Rifle 308 Pistol whatever, not open, With a mag fed shotgun ?

I live in New England and our options are bleak up here. Pretty much I only have access to 8 matches a year, four at CPFGC and four at Pemi (though now that’s only 2-gun. No shotguns -_-). That’s best case scenario, often there are not enough volunteers so the matches get canceled, such as at CPFGC next weekend. I intend to move out of the Northeast soon and I got a lot of options. So I’m wondering, is there an area of the US that would be ideal, in terms of access/distance/frequency of 3 gun matches? Assuming I could move anywhere. I want to be running matches AT LEAST monthly, ideally more frequently. I have family in Minnesota and know they do the multigun nationals every year there so this is a too contender for me, but that’s just one competition.

Alright gent's looking for suggestions on what shotgun to get. I'm and advid long range shooter, AR guy, started getting into pistols a few years back, now I'm looking at what shotty to rock. I have a stock glock 19 gen 3 I'm running as my side arm, main is a ruger 556 moded with flip up sights. I'm not sure what an affordable option for a shot gun would be to complete my set up. Any suggestions?

Hello, I'm sure that its been a question asked a million times so forgive me but I'm looking to get some gear to get into 3 gun. I am looking to shoot 3 gun in my local club that has a "carry optics" division. I'm sorry for such a long post, if not allowed, I will delete.

"Carry Optics (Handgun): Handguns must be of a factory configuration. Internal modifications are allowed provided they do not alter the original factory configuration. One non-magnified optical or electronic sight may be mounted on the slide (non frame mounted) between rear of slide and ejection port. Magazines shall not exceed 170 OAL for single stacks, and shall not exceed 140mm OAL for staggered magazines. Compensators or barrel porting are NOT allowed in this class.  

Carry Optics (Rifle): Same as Tactical other than only a bipod no longer than 20 inches may be attached to the rifle. 6.2c Tactical (Tac Optics): Rifles must be of a factory configuration. Internal modifications are allowed provided they do not alter the original factory  configuration. Tactical rifles may be equipped with no more than one (magnified or non-magnified) optical sight (iron and popup sights are allowed). Rifle supporting devices (ie Bipods, bags, etc.) are not allowed in this class. Rifle may have a compensator that is no more than 1” in diameter and 3” in length.

Carry Optics (Shotgun): Shotgun must be of a factory configuration. Internal modifications are allowed provided they do not alter the original factory configuration. One electronic or optical non-magnifying sight is allowed. Supporting devices (ie Bipods, bags, etc.) are not allowed. Compensators on barrels is not allowed, porting on barrels is allowed. No shotgun in Carry Optics class may be loaded with more than 13 rounds prior to the buzzer. Magazine length may not be changed for the duration of the match. Detachable magazines are not allowed in the class."

I've ran a couple USPSA pistol matches already, so I'm semi familiar with the competition scene. I am currently running a Canik Rival SFX with a holosun 507comp and T1C Optio holster on the way, a CMMG MK4 AR-15 with a red dot/magnifier, and a Mossberg Maverick 88. As well as a battle belt with 3 pistol and 1 rifle mag pouch.

I am currently looking at a beretta a300 ultima patrol for a new shotgun as well as a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8 LPVO for my AR. I don't have a huge budget but I am willing to hear your recommendations.

TL;DR Looking for a entry level 3 gun set up lol.

Please check it out and contribute if you’d like :).

My current loadout as I prep to dip my toes, that 940 JM pro series is good to go, that AR has basically a whole new uppers worth of parts coming, and for now I’m gladly going to run my M&P 4” compact, as it’s the only pistol I got. Looking for suggestions, but any reason not to go with the 5 inch Canik Rival? Seems to be the big winner for a baller on a budget.

Does anyone know where I can get safariland ELS compatible hardware ? T-Nuts in particular.

Wanting to get into 3gun. Traded for this gun from a family friend. Looking for ways to make it competition ready. What would you change if you got this gun?
