Opinions on my beginning rifle and pistol

[PeteMcGuire1881]

So you guys read my intro and know I don't have any competition experience. Well, these are purchased I made with the intent on using for competing. I don't see myself traveling all over the US to shoot so this will mainly be for local stuff (if they have any in IN, OH, IL, or KY):

Pistol 1 is an M&P Pro 5" in 9mm pure stock

Pistol 2 is a RIA full size double stack in .22 TCM/9mm combo pure stock. (These are a ***** to find mags for) this one I haven't shot yet.

AR 1 is an Aero Precision matched upper and lower with a Burgara 18" bull barrel and an AP m-lock hand guard with a Lantac Dragon muzzle device. Has JP trigger springs and an AXTS Raptor charging handle.

AR 2 is a Mag Tactical upper and lower with a 16" barrel and typical flash hider. Stark front handle. Has JP trigger springs and a Vortex Razr Gen II 1-6x glass with American Defense quick release mount.

I'm pretty certain these aren't ideal so shoot your opinions and ideas out there. I put my big girl panties on so I can take the abuse.

Pistol #1, lose the flashlight, done.
Rifle #1, put the scope from rifle #2 on rifle #1, done.

 

[PeteMcGuire1881]

Yeah, the flashlight is on that one because it stays on the nightstand. But I'm with you there for competition. AR #2 does need the glass. It's actually lighter than AR #1.

Keep the flashlight extra weight reduces muzzle flip and you look way more tacticool with a light.

That's way better kit then 75% of the guys at most club matches.

Never thought about reducing muzzle flip. You being serious or setting me up to be the clown of the show?

Would that not put you into open for 3 gun?

Flashlight is functionally a frame weight

3-gun doesn't have stupid anti-operator rules like Uspsa does.

Fair enough.
I shoot more uspsa than 3 gun so I just go by the uspsa rules.

You are far better setup than most who start out. You got the best optic for 3gun IMO! Love my razor! Take what you have and go find a match. Ask questions and check out gear for your first several matches. Then you will have a much better idea what you want and need. It can be expensive enough you don't want to but gear you want to replace 2 months later. You should be able to find matches as well. IN and KY seem to have plenty to choose from.

Timney 3lb trigger for the rifle and you're on your way to fun town.

 

[PeteMcGuire1881]

I figure with the Razr, if I can't shoot a target down, I can beat it into submission with it.

Sell pistol #2 and use the funds for a down payment on a Accurate Iron Benelli M2
