Well-Known Fanatic
I have decided I want to do a 3 gun match or two this summer. I am just going to use what I have, what I'm comfortable with and only make mild adjustments to my collection for the competition. Its all for fun, getting to know the limitations of myself and my weapons, seeing how I can handle shooting "under pressure" and the camaraderie of competition. Off-road motorcycle racing is my main hobby, guns are a way to blow off steam without hurting myself or my bikes (hence the avasion to spending much money getting prepared) ... And since my friend and I's range sessions usually end up involving some sort of competition between ourselves, this is just a natural progression.
So here's my questions, in bold
I have a Sig 556 Swat Patrol, I'm using a junk BSA optic right now with plans to get a higher end optic by mid summer. An Eotech XPS or AimPoint Comp M3/4. what do you guys who have tried each recommend? I should probably just look through each and make a decision. Or would I be king ding-a-ling if I just showed up with an open sights AK?
My Sig 556 has mags that can be clipped together. 3 mags = 90 possible rounds for a stage, sounds like plenty. Is this even legal for competition?
I've got a Remington 1100, I really like this 43 year old gun and have heard pro's and cons about it, I will stick with it for now. It has a 28" barrel and I am looking at a +6 extension. Will that be enough extra capacity? I am also not sure what choke it has on the barrel either, how do I tell? I know its not an optium set-up. Is there anything cheap, easy and reversable I can do to it that would make it better?
My only semi-auto pistol is a Glock 27. Yep, a baby glock won't be very good for getting back on target quickly OR very accurate. but this is all for fun. I planned on using my IWB holster if thats legal in competion and making or purchasing some cheap plastic/elastic mag clips. Is that ok?
