[True cost of a VR80]

I've got no dog in this fight but over half that price list is mags and optics that your buying regardless of what shotgun you start out with.

[2023 IDPA rules changes]

I've got an xc and it is definitely machined one piece barrel and comp.

A comp absolutely does help even with minor pf. Ive been shooting CO for about a year and with the new rule I definitely am planning to run a comp gun from now on.

[How Do the Benell Semis Differ from the Stoeger Shotguns?]

I shoot regular with a couple guys that have the m3k. I've got a 930 jm. Funny thing is I've had to loan both of them my shotgun to finish a match. I may have gotten lucky but the only time my 930 has ever malfunctioned was when the trigger stop screw backed out. A little red loctight and never another problem. One of them has finally switched to an m2.

Looks like vr80 or similar to me.

[Mossberg JM 940 Pro]

I've been running a 930 for a few years and have never had a malfunction.
