Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Don't need to hit the lottery, because saved for a few years and bought it one item at a time... Rifle: JP CTR-02 with a Proof carbon barrel and a XLR stock Optic: Vortex Razor HD II 1-6 Pistol: STI DVC 3 Gun Shotgun: TTI Benelli M2 If money was no object, I would probably get a custom 2011 built, but the STI is pretty damn good. As for the rest, I wouldn't change a thing. Adam
  2. I also use the TTI magwell, and it's great. Way better than the Dawson, which I switched from. It may be a bit hard to do a fast mag change with mags that don't have extensions on them. You can use standard mags, but you can't really drive them home with your palm, you have to push them in with your thumb. And you're really in trouble if they don't fall free.
  3. I've shot the 13 extensively and just got the 15 about a month ago. The new one is a big improvement and definitely worth the wait. Last shot lock back, much bigger magwell, easier mag eject button. I recommend going with the dedicated 9mm milled upper as well. It's extremely nice.
  4. Was the iron sight pistol the way to go, or did I lead you astray?
  5. I used a Way Of The Gun sling and liberal amounts of gaffing tape for my M3000. It worked just fine. You can make that sling work on anything.
  6. Here's a good video from Brian Nelson that will tell you pretty much everything you need to know about running a sling in 3 Gun.
  7. I think you would be better served with an iron-sight pistol. There's a lot in that class about vision that applies specifically to iron sights, and everything else can be applied to either platform. I wouldn't get too wrapped up in practicing before you go. A lot of what you know to be true will change during the course of the weekend. It did for me. There are lots of subtle things going on with stance, grip, and so on that aren't covered in the videos. Hope that help. Have fun at the class. You'll learn a lot. Adam
  8. Be careful that you don't go too budget on glass. Scopes really matter, especially for the long stuff. If you can wait a bit for it to hit the shelves, the new Vortex PST Gen II 1-6 is a great scope, especially for the price. I got a change to play with one last fall, and it impressed me.
  9. MGM Targets. My buddy and I went in 50/50 after we shoot the Ironman a couple years ago.
  10. After doing this to my Razor and not even losing zero, I'm sticking with Vortex...
  11. Having tried loading for spinners, I would warn you against it. The extra hassle of running two loads in no way paid off. Now, I shot the same minor PF load for everything, but I actually know how to shoot spinners. My suggestion, buy a spinner. That's what I did, and it was worth every penny.
  12. I've been running TTI base pads on my AR and my Glock 34 for years. Some are so smashed up from being dropped in gravel that they're barely recognizable, and they still run perfectly. When I got a set for my 43, they threw in some springs just to say thanks. When they accidentally shipped the wrong springs for my full-size glock on a different order, they overnighted the right ones, and spares, so I would have them for a match. When I droped my pistol from my workbench and broke the front sight, I had to talk them into charging me for the replacement, because they tried to warranty it for free, and it was clearly not a warranty issue. So, when the time came to upgrade the shotgun, I didn't think twice about ordering a TTI M2. I have never had anything but extremely positive experiences when working with TTI. Buy the good stuff the first time. You won't regret it.
  13. After fighting with two different shotguns over three years, I finally just gave up and called TTI. Just order direct, have then do the work, and you won't be disappointed.
  14. Squad with the best shooters you can. Ask questions. Watch everyone shoot. Reload your mags the second you are done shooting a stage. Help reset. Do not run out the next day and buy thousands of dollars worth of guns. And, if you decide that 3 Gun is for you, take a class as soon as you can. It will drastically speed to the learning curve and save you tons of time and money in the long run.
  15. I use a Safariland 3 gun case for my guns and loaded mags. I preload the mags the day before, and only loaded mags go into this bag. It also holds chokes and chamber flags, but basically nothing else. I have small screw-top containers to hold the day's pistol and rifle ammo. Shotgun shells stay in factory boxes. My ammo, spare mags, eyes, ears, food, water, and some tools and spare parts ride in a backpack to each stage. In the truck is a large bag with the rarely-needed rifle mags, more parts and tools, and so on. Plus ammo cans of 223, 9mm, and a case of birdshot and lots of slugs. You can never have to much ammo.
