Thinking About 3 Gun

Wont let me cut and paste or use the quote feature, but Jesse's post re-inexpensive starter set up is almost exactly what I got. Only exception is the shotgun is an SX2 with a Nordic tube. Love watching the faces on the old (I'm 68 but old is 10 years older than whatever age I am) guys when I use it for trap. :)
 
Ok im in the same boat as OP
All I have is a mossberg 500, kimber ultra carry II , and a DPMS AR
Thinkin on gettin a eaa match 9mm.
Any suggestions?

I've never shot an EAA. Matt may have a different opinion. I'd get a M&P pro or G34. Whichever grip feels better.
 
The EAA is an excellent firearm, however, it's like a 2011 in the fact that I have to make my bullets longer than factory to reliably run it and extra mags are $100+ once you get the extensions to stay competitive with the other guys in USPSA. I don't use it for 3-gun because of the manual safety.
Also, dealing with customer service at EAA can be quite a frustrating manner at times depending on the attitude of the person you get ahold of.

If you're wanting a great pistol for 3-gun, I would suggest the M&P 9pro 5" over the EAA.
Mags are cheaper and more available.
Parts are easier to find
theres no external safety to worry about when grounding your pistol which takes away the worry of a DQ.
You can run any factory ammo available.

I use my M&P 9 pro for 3-gun and my EAA Limited for USPSA.
 
Thanks im new to this forum
Can somebody direct me to a schedule of matches I live in eastern ok bout 30 miles from AR border so any close would be great to at least go and watch
 
Don't worry about that crappy 3 gun just come shoot some USPSA with me and get you some mad pistol skills!! ðŸ'

I see a Phil vs Feegee 3-gun challenge happening march 22 at the okcgc.
Feegee's faster but can his shotgun hold up long enough for the victory? lol
 
The final odds can't be calculated until the drinking results are in from the night before.

Feegee and Micah don't want to come play 3gun.
I've had conversations with both of them about it & they still want to play, it's just not a priority.
They're both concentrating on other things at the moment.

It's all good, they'll come play when they want to.
