I have a Taran Tactical M2. So far it's been 100% with everything I've thrown at it....it's 100%.
I have only really seen the "west coast" builders out here (Taran and Salient) but I can tell you his stuff is pretty much top notch...

Newb cross fitter here. Just in my first week of on-ramp, feel sore all over, but really like it....

.98 cents for a 3/8" dowel at the local hardware store and it's game on.
Happy hunting folks!

Oops, I should have given Jed the Readers Digest version of The answer. YES, it has been the wrong way all these years, and just so you know it was and is a problem with the M1 Benelli as well.
BTW one of The first gauges is going to my good friend Taran, do you happen to know him? He and I have been corroborating on Benelli shotguns for a long time, and i was saying that it cant be the barrel now for a long time, it just took a while to figure out what was square on the receiver to measure from and then figure out how to make the gauge.
Wouldn't say I "know" him but as a customer one of the things that I was sold on was the point of aim/impact tuning.
It's good to know you are getting things worked out with him and getting this taken care of, it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

I just got 2 of them set up with 26. IMHO smart move.

Kurt:
So everything Taran Butler has done for years (as probably the best multi-gun shotgunner in the history of the sport) with regards to straightening the M2 barrel (as opposed to the M1, which is apparently perfect POI) is bullpucky? -
There's something to be said for a tuned firearm that is in play and used by over 50% of the competitive glock shooters out there in the world. Taran himself is one of (if not the) top glock shooters and designs all the mods (and tests them) personally. There's something to be said for that, sorry....
If TTI is a "pretender" (mods designed by the first guy to make GM with a glock) then I don't know what's "real".

Anyone have any thoughts on a mag block/dowel for a tube? I've got a benelli M2 with a 10 rd tube (total capacity) and want to be able to block it to just two in the tube for hunting (so I don't have to remove the entire tube).

Super short reset, way light pull.
I will say there is a little bit of take-up and "creep", but that shouldn't be a problem if you're running and gunning....it's not all that noticeable.

I don't suck, I'm just not yet where I want to be in my shooting.
I keep track of how I perform per match overall and then in my division. My goals are simple. 1. Do not DQ. 2. Perform better than I did in my prior match.
Just keep swimming.
I like that one. That's how I keep moving forward....and to the poster above--that seems to be how I am in all sports...no matter how "good" I thought I have gotten, there were MANY that would be better than me (bar would be raised) over and over.
Again, lots of great information in this thread.

I've been doing this for 10 years, and I still suck. mainly because I never practice due to lack of time, and I have other activities that have priority (mountain biking, hiking, fishing, raising children and trying to get along with my wife). I do this just for fun and I discovered shooters are some of the best people out there. How good you get depends a lot on what you put into the sport as to practice and number of matches you go to, along with natural talent (I have none). And it's important to define what you mean by no longer sucking. Winning local matches? Placing high at major matches? Becoming Grand Master? Not having to wear a bag over your head after a match from embaressment? Set your goals, and work up a plan to reach them.
Ha. Sounds like my life! Steelhead season's coming up soon, so obviously that'll take priority....
To define not sucking I'd like to not have to wear a bag over my head after matches--that will satisfy me.
Seriously though, GREAT tips in here. I just got set up with the right firearm for production (34) and a decent holster setup. That should help over shooting subcompact and tactical stuff.... December (lul in our season between fall run fish and winter run fish) I'm going to set up a class w/ a GM to really iron out some deficiencies in technique and methodology.

I've shot a couple USPSA and a couple of 3 gun matches and am learning so much it's crazy. I'm also having a blast.
I'm trying to absorb as much as I can, but I have to say--it's hard to suck. It's tough to come into something just shitballs when you have had a history of marginal athletic success or never really sucked at something...if that makes sense. I just get the feeling when I do these gun games--wow, everyone seems to rock it.
So, assuming you are a decent enough athlete (or used to be) with a desire to get better, how long is the right amount of time to expect to improve?
Right now i'm finishing 40th-50th out of 60-ish in my local matches, but I get into the low to mid 30s in some scenarios, but then other scenarios I am DEAD LAST (and, like, by a mile!).So, ,with practice and a drive to get better, how quickly did you progress in your gun games?

A buddy just bought a tti glock and taran said they all need to be adjusted for that....
-
Just a thought, but I would make sure that you're telling that to the folks at glockwrx and insist that they do it correctly. Should feel VERY good IMHO for a "custom" trigger assembly....
-
Agreed.....I some goodies. Needed them for a comp so he sent them out BEFORE I sent the check and they passed in the mail. Seriously? Pretty great.
Hunting with your 3gun shotgun

Shot a bunch of birds this year already with my 26" M2 3 gun shotgun (by TTI).
Put a wooden dowel (.98) from Home Depot in there, can take (as plugged) 2x 3" shells in the magazine.
