Mirage Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I tried a search for the rules on Heavy metal division's equipment requirements. After much reading I saw many confusing opinions of how it ought to be but, it is not clear what the rules actually are. I thought I had the equipment to enter this division, but after reading for some time, I now think I don't. I have never shot a 3 gun match. I was hoping to enter one that is coming up in less than 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgtyre Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The rules can be very different depending upon which match you are shooting. The rules for the Superstition Mountain Mystery 3-Gun can be found here. -ld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Freeman Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 It is stupid I must agree. Pump, no pump. Optics, no optics. Optics only for old farts, no optics for almost old farts. 44 Mag and up, 40 and up. It would be so nice if everyone would get on the same page. It might actually help the division grow.

Religious Shooter Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Just get a: .308 rifle w/20 rd magazines, Iron sights 12 gauge pump shotgun, 8+1 capacity Single Stack .45, Metal-framed, 1911 type, 8 rd and 10 rd magazines With the above you will be legal in all extisting Heavy Metal and He-Man divisions. If you enter a match that has a .40+ caliber rule... you are legal. If you enter a match that allows auto shotguns... you are legal. If you enter a match that allows scopes with the rifle... you are legal. If you enter a match that only allows single stacks... you are legal. If you enter a match that allows any .45+ cailber pistol with 10 rds max... you are legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 I was going to use M1A iron sights. No questions on that. A Westernfield 550 pump. Same gun as Mossberg 500 with 28" barrel modified choke, 5+1. I had seen posts that said a 22" barrel was maximum length. I was hoping they meant minimum length. Then I had planed to use a Glock 21, 10 round mags, but I saw posts about 45 single stack. I will have to get additional magazines for single stack. I only have 2 7 round mags for 1911. I would prefer to use the Glock since I already have 5 mags, mag pouches and holster for it. Plus that is what I have been using in Production Division. Thanks for the all help for a newby, Ron W.
