David Sinko Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I will be shooting my first Multigun match tomorrow and I have no idea how this is scored. There are only 22 rounds of handgun ammo required so I am considering using the 625 for the handgun requirements. Out of seven stages there will be two handgun stages and one where handgun, rifle and shotgun will be mixed. Would this be a silly thing to do? Obviously the handgun will see scant use in the match, so how does this work into the grand scheme of mix and match? Dave Sinko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With only 22 handgun rounds, you may not give up too much. It's fun-give it a try! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Obviously reloads will be the issue. But what the heck, have fun and shoot what you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1911 rookie Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) the 2008 USPSA multi gun rules read for handgun in Heavy Metal: "Major Power Factor, Maximum of 9 rounds loaded, Max. of 8 in magazine in the case of Rule 8.1.1.2. Any Single Stack in 45 ACP that meets the SS rules allowed" If 8.1.1.2 is referencing the regular USPSA 2008 Hangun rule book then it referencing revolvers, 8.1.1 Revolvers "8.1.1.2 Double Action: hammer fully down and all chambers may be loaded." Sounds like a revo fits that category? Jason Edited March 15, 2008 by 1911 rookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Sinko Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 OK, I'll do it. Moonclips out front will give me room to carry a rifle magazine in my back pocket. I don't have the proper equipment to be very competitive with the long guns so an extra reload or two won't make much difference in the long run.

20nickels Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I've considered entering with a pump shotty, an SKS, and my 625. I don't think there are any rules excluding them although 3 gun is dominated with autos. I'm curious as well, keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sinko Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Yesterday when I woke up it was 40 degrees and raining. We had been emailed that the match is still on but the handgun round count had been increased. So in light of all this I decided to shoot the Glock instead. In the three instances the handgun was used, we had an El Prez classifier stage and the multigun stage of six rounds, mandatory reload and then six more. These two stages were certainly worthy of a revolver but the third was a tricky 16 shot stage with activators and two disappearing targets. Most of the auto shooters were shooting Limited and didn't need a reload. Obviously the revolver would've been a handicap here. I'm still not sure how this is all scored so I'll have to wait for the results and study them. The consensus among those I asked was that a revolver is a bad idea for multigun, but then these people never shoot revolvers any time.

Cherryriver Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) Well, a revolver's pretty much always a bad idea for any use that might require more than a couple of shots. After all, the operative description I use of the difference between a revolver and an autoloader is that the revolver's the one that's almost always empty. That said, I've never been too resistant to bad ideas, so I just go ahead and shoot the round guns and consider it a special challenge. Shucks, just yesterday I ran through a nice IDPA match with my Python, reloading with Comp IIs out of my jacket pocket (faster than the belt carrier on a cold Indiana morning), and managed to finish 13th overall out of 49 shooters. Since I'm not too good, maybe the six-holer wasn't such a problem. It's a special challenge. Bill Edited March 17, 2008 by Cherryriver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sargenv Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Um.. I'm going to use: Remington Model 700 with standard magazine that you load through the top in 308 Win Remington 870 Wingmaster 20 gauge with extended mag tube S&W 627PC My Mini 14 is in the shop and I don't feel like changing over my Browning gold semi-auto. I've not fired a semi-auto handgun in at least a few months.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robopup Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 You could always go: pump shotgun m1 garand 625 revo That would be old schooling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 When I consider shooting multigun my tools are as such: Remington 870 shotgun Remington 7615P rifle Ruger Alaskan revolver Not anywhere close to the choice of many (if any), but I think that I would enjoy trying multigun at least once with this trio.

nashvillebill Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I'm completely ignernt about multigun. Does anybody use an M-1 carbine? Is it allowed or just an even worse idea than pump gun and revolver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sargenv Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 at most club ranges that don'thave anything past about 150 yard or so, an M1 carbine would work just as good as some other pistol rounds might (Tommy gun). If you have to shoot at anything way out there, you will likely be a bit undergunned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
