jmurch Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I'm new to 3 gun, I've fired one rifle stage at my club's match last month and had a lot of fun. I plan to use what I have as much as possible at least for the first few matches. Rifle: RRA 18" with a 20" site radius 1:8 iron sights. Shotgun: Mossberg 935spx 7+1 rifle sights. Pistol: Sig P220 4 mags (could use a holster recommendation). TIA, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Batt Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I think that you will be in Limited division, but I'm not up to date on 3 gun rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richbug Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Limited But you might need a couple more pistol mags depending on the stages. I don't feel comfortable unless I have 2x as many rounds in mags as I expect to need, especially if steel is involved and I am having an off day. If I only had 33 rounds on me I would feel naked.

jmurch Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 Thanks all. 4 mags would only give me 24 rounds. I'll see if I can scare up a few more. Anyone have holster recommendations? All I have now is an OWB holster for CCW. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the P220's I have seen had 8 rounders, 8x4= 32 plus a Barney bullet=33rds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurch Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Mine are actually 7s. If I order 10s will that change effect what division I can shoot? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruePunisher Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 If shooting irons you will be in Tactical Irons for 3-gun. You will need more then 24 pistol rounds... My magazines I use hold 24 rounds and I don't think I ever used just one magazine (ie 24 rounds) in a stage. I wouldn't go hog wild and start shelling out a bunch of money on magazine. You might want to look at getting a different pistol for the long term, something in a 9MM. It will save you money in the long term over shooting 45, may help you with a faster second shot, and increase your mag capacity. Something to think about down the road maybe. For a holster I would suggest something like the Comp-Tac belt holster or the Blade-Tech DOH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurch Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 If I went for 9mm what would you suggest? P226, CZ75 or ? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richbug Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 CZ75 or ? IMHO, that is by far the best gun for the money spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Tischauser Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) G34/35 +1 You're in Limited/Tac Iron with your current setup. Plan on eating your words regarding using what you have. If you can shoot 3 gun and not get caught up in and buy some or all the cool guns and gear out there you are way stronger than most of us. Keep that Mossberg clean! I shot with a guy that was using one for the first time at our local match last month and it wouldn't run. He had just bought it used. He took it out the day before the match to give it a test run of a few hundred rounds. He said it ran flawlessly before the match but come match day it would not eject shells at all. He said he cleaned it after the match and it was filthy. Good luck to you. Edited November 16, 2009 by jtischauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRider Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Welcome to Limited/Tac Irons. For multigun, I like the Blackhawk Serpa holster with the lock. It keeps your gun from bouncing out when you go prone with your rifle/shotgun (I have also used the Bladetech without problems, just tighten it up some). I modify the serpa by bending the lever out (easier to disengage). I also dropped the holster down on the paddle and spaced it out about 1/2". It works for me. As far as a 9mm goes, I like a Glock with Dawson sights. All just my opinions though, there may be better things for you. Have fun hurley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Batt Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I don't think you can go wrong with either a Glock or CZ for your handgun. I'm sure there are a bunch of other good choices out there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffWard Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Handguns in 9mm? Glock, CZ, M&P Pro. I shoot the Pro and love it. Its definitely on the "try-before-you-buy" list. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurch Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Thanks everyone for the advice/suggestions and the welcomes. I'm going to my club's 'Tuesday Night Steel' tonight to do a little recon. Both my daughter and I have been hi-power shooters there for many years. She has branched off to shooting sporting clays since she works weekends there (she can shoot it anytime) and I am giving three gun and maybe the pistol matches a try.

jwfuhrman Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Highjack, but not intending too, but heres what I got and have the same questions: M&P15 with 18.5in Noveske barrel and 3-9x40 Burris(want to get 1-4) G34 11-87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2MoreChains Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Tactical Division. It allows you to mount a a scope on the rifle. Iron sights on shotgun and pistol. Check out the new combined USPSA rulebook, Sept 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cold Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) Highjack, but not intending too, but heres what I got and have the same questions:M&P15 with 18.5in Noveske barrel and 3-9x40 Burris(want to get 1-4) G34 11-87 That will work out well in Tac Optics/Tactical division. Glock 34/35's are a great 3 gun hand gun. The burris 3x9 is probably too much optic, consider a 1x4 XTR/TR21 or 24 or K Dot/DMS-1/ or millet 1x4 etc but otherwise your set up will work well I would think.
