Let's see some 3-gun setups!

[IndianaBoy]

I was unpacking my stuff from CMMG last weekend, and decided it would be an opportune time to take a picture. My 3-gun gear has evolved significantly since my first match a couple of years ago. I still use a few things that are 'wrong' if you look at what most of the best shooters are using. But I'm back at the point where I am definitely a weaker link than any of my gear. I do need an improved glock trigger though......

That extended tube really hangs out there!

[JB326]

As an aspiring 3-gunner.... Tag for interest. That looks like quite a Franken- rifle in the OP.

Do you shoot any of my matches I run or the ones at Wildcat?

Yes, I'm shooting in the irons division of the points series. Great matches!

DPMS MK12 barrel
Hogue free float tube, should have gone with the AP Custom extended tube.
Geisselle SSA trigger.... cut one leg off the hammer spring. Intended to buy an SSA-E but I got screwed by a guy on another forum.
Ergo grip.
A1 stock
Nordic Corvette Comp
JP Adj gas
JP LMOS carrier
JP LMOS buffer
TA33R8 ACOG.... works even better for 3-gun than I expected. It's not a swaro but it treated me very well at CMMG, which was my first match running anything but irons.

I shot out to 500 meters to confirm zero before the match. It was only a 3 shot group so it doesn't really count as I prefer 10 shots for load testing..... but it put 3 rounds in 3 inches at 500 meters. I went 1-1 on all the 300 and 400 yard steel on stage 5. During the team event I had a hell of a time with the 300 yard steel... before one shotting the 400. That was my fault, and my damn nerves. Not the rifle.

The ACOG BDC matches my 75 gr load very well.

[IndianaBoy]

I only have video of one stage from CMMG because my buds with the camera were on another squad.

Here's my shit:

Pistol is a bone stock OD Glock 34 that refuses to stop working despite me dumping the thing in the dirt constantly.

Shotgun is a 18.5" barreled, ghost ring equipped Benelli M1S90. This isn't the ideal 3 gun shotgun but it worked flawlessly and is incredibly accurate when shooting slugs.

Rifle is a Colt 6920 barrel and bcg, VLTOR A5 and Emod, Hogan Trigger, King Armory muzzle break and a Burris Tac30 with a C. Drissel cat tail.

The belt is an old Spec Ops brand belt. I turned it around so that buckle is at the back so that I could get 6 of the California Competition Works shotgun strippers across my gut. Holster is a Safariland SLS mag pouches are bladetech's that have been hit with the krylon. I strap it to my wilderness belt with a couple of duty keepers.

Good thread. I like the more practical setups. Yeah, they aren't as fast and you probably won't win many matches, but the habits you engrain during competition will more easily transfer over to the real world.

What is practical and what is not is highly debatable. Also being fast and accurate is very valuable in the real world.

I guess I just don't want to get used to being fast with some skeletonized competition holster and mag pouches that stick out from my belt line when I go to work every day with much more conventional gear. I'd rather use the competitions as fun training with gear that more closely resembles what I carry every day. I could be wrong but that seems to make sense to me. :meeting:

Many of the gizmos now considered "working gun" essentials were often first proven in competitions and "games."

Ex: RDS, off set mounts, sling plates, improved triggers, rails, forward grips

I respect what your saying. I like to win so when I am playing the game I use gear that gives me the edge. At work I use gear that works best for me there. I also shoot some matches with my work set up. I just took first in a LEO three gun match two weeks ago using my Glock 17, SCAR 17 and my 14 inch Vang 870. Last saturday I took first in the LEO division at a steel match and 11th over all out of 60 shooters. My point was competing with my competition gear most of the year did not seem to hurt me when it came time to use my leo gear. I think people over think this stuff to a degree. Trigger pulling time is all good regardless of the gun used.

Yep very true. I am about to add a small Delta Point to my duty gun when funds allow.

Great points! It sounds like your department is quite relaxed in terms of equipment. Mine is very strict about the kind of gear you can run, especially guns and gun accessories. Anyway, thanks for the comments on competition v. duty. Good to ponder.

I am lucky that as the departments firearms instructor and armorer I am allowed to set the policies with the Chiefs approval. I feel for you I have seen some backward policies set by non gun people in the field.

What can I do with this? My only hesitation is that the pistol grip configuration is factory lol. Leaves room for a future AOW (vs SBS). "Supposedly" putting a stock on it eliminates the ability to AOW it later, forcing an SBS set of paperwork.

It's not critical, just sayin'''''''

Yeah that won't be ideal at a match. :D Put the pistol grip in a parts box and throw a stock on it. :) That would be a great starter shotgun.

[danpass]

I've revised the post lol

I may as well give this a try:

Shotgun is a Winchester Super X 3, 26" barrel with a Briley extended bolt and tube (can hold 9 2 3/4"). Light polishing on the bolt and lifter, stock lengthened about 1 1/2". HiViz recoil pad and large green fiber front. Although it's a glorified duck gun, I like this gun a bunch more than the Benellis I've shot.

Pistol is a CZ Custom Shop 75 Shadow. S/A pull is about 3.5lb. Run with either Mec Gar 19 round mags, or a homebrew of a 18 round CZ mag, Grams Guts, and a Pachmayr base pad that holds a total of 22 rounds. Grips are VZ's.

Rifle is a home built around a Nordic 18" rifle gas barrel. BCM upper/bolt/charging handle, CMC flat trigger, Troy Alpha Extreme Rail, DPMS "Jerry" comp, MIAD grip and a standard RRA A2 stock. Optic is a Burris MTAC 1-4 in a PEPR.

Rest of the gear is a Mark Otto "Load 2" belt, DAA comp belt with 2 CR Speed mag pouches, Blade-tech AR pouch, and a Blade-Tech holster. AR mags are always PMAGs, and I carry 4 30's, 2 20's, 2 40's, and a coupled 30 around in my shooting cart. Overkill, but I've used them all before in different stages.

Very pleased with this setup. At least the shotgun and pistol are different from your standard 3 gun fare, but they work very well for me.

The tax for manufacturing an AOW is the same $200 as manufacturing an SBS. The $5 tax stamp is only for AOW transfers.
