Once I sorted through the arguments for and against, I can safely say that I feel it SHOULD be allowed. But, for long term feasibility, I think that RO's should be trained on clearing long rifles. There is already an approved rule set for multigun, so a simple copy/paste of those parameters for rifle into the handgun handbook for PCC would be a piece of cake. I do think that USPSA HQ kind of hamstringed those for PCC by the "rules" they sent out. Kind of hap-hazard to me, but with good intent. I like the idea of using an "aiming point" outside the shooting area for PCC's to start at. But, if they limited the starting positions to either low ready or port arms, that would be even easier. Port arms=butt of PCC on belt, muzzle at eye level. Low ready=PCC shouldered, muzzle below belt. Seems simple as that is what we do in multigun. I see those in opposition to PCC the same that supported the new "carry optics" division. It is an open gun, why do we need one more division? The simple answer: to get more people shooting safely.

I went with this one. Had it install in minutes and already shooting it. Thank you everyone! Jason

I have been shooting 3gun/multigun for 15 years (although my scores do not maybe show that...). This year I decided to get serious, decide what works for me and what doesn't, and adapt. My shotgun has always been my bane. Starting with a Winchester SX3, then Remington Tactical, and finally biting the bullet and buying a Benelli M2. While the Benelli is supposed to be a great shotgun, mine always had issues from day one. First mod was the shell carrier/elevator, and I modded it before actually testing to get a baseline. THIS WAS A BA IDEA! Turns out that IT was most of my problem from the buzzer. Finally got that loading issue fixed, but knew my long game was suffering because I bought an 18.5" TACTICAL model. Looking back, I should have bought a field gun. So, this year I decided that I needed more sight radius and upgraded my beloved Benelli with a 26" vent rib barrel. Kenji and Joel at Taran Tactical Innovations have been instrumental in helping me get this beast running right. I sent them my bolt and had them do their magic to it (lighten, ghost load mod, out of battery loading mod, pretty color), ordered a spring kit from them (trigger, hammer, and recoil) and had all that installed in a matter of 20 minutes. Opened up the loading port. Added a +9 Nordeinc Components mag tube, spring, follower, and clamp. SO today, after installing my barrel, I am going to find me a HI-Viz front sight for this barrel and get to shooting. Nothing like upgrading the week BEFORE a major match. What does the wide world of Brian Enos Forums use for fiber optic front sights? I have more than a few dollars into my shotgun already, and a nice sight would do just the trick. Thanks for any help.

My recommendation, if you can swing it in the finance department, do it. You will not be disappointed.

Chuck Mawhinney. Chuck's Meat Can't Be Beat. Chicken OR Beef. Best dang steak ever.

I can't remember if it did our not as that was the first mod I did.

"Tactical Fat" is what I have heard it called. But yes, having a little (or a lot, as the case may be) of belly, it will hold better where you want it.

So, after what feels like forever, my beloved Benelli M2 runs like a raped ape! Took my carrier out and polished the back edge a bit more and cleaned a rough patch on it and no more jams! Shot a 3gun match yesterday and it ran flawlessly! Thank you to everyone for the help.

Clarification on this rule (OPEN DIVISION SHOTGUN): 5.5.3 Magazine tube length shall not be changed for the duration of the match. (Nothing longer than 48" will be allowed!) Does this mean that the shotgun cannot be over 48" OR magazine tube not be over 48"?? First, a 48" magazine tube is RIDICULOUS! Or is that for detachable magazines?

The best is what you can afford that fits your criteria. I run a Criterion 18" barrel with rifle gas system. Superb shooting barrel. I do not know the weight, but my whole rifle less optic is just under 8 pounds.

I am running an 18" Criterion barrel, rifle length gas system, low profile gas block, and a Primary Weapon Systems FSC556 brake. Soft shooting, have zero issue shooting 500 yards with bulk ammo on 2MOA targets. 1 moa targets at 500 is not easy, but not difficult either. I have run 16, 18, and 20, and the crux of the matter is the trigger puller, not the barrel/gas block/gas length. Know your rifle and know your dope on the fly. THAT is what wins.

I have two Taccom 8 round caddies on my belt, but recently bought a Chameleon Fabrics 24 round carrier. Yes, it is for twin loading, but super comfortable. I can put it on, then when I go prone I can twist it around to my back and not lose shells. Or start that way if I think they will be in the way.

While waiting for my new carrier spring, I removed the bolt release and cleaned up the razor sharp edge that was in there. Polished it, and put it back together. Did another couple mag dumps just to check 95% better, and I may pull it back out and see if it needs more tuning. I am trying to be gentle and not remove too much material. (Sorry, I swore on this one...)

It should be noted that the exact same problem existed before I replaced the recoil spring.

I replaced the original spring with the TTI. I still have it.
