OK, so I did my first 3 gun match on Saturday. It was really fun.
I looked kinda out of place with my unmodified Yugo SKS and 9x18 makarov. My 870 fit right in, though.
Anyway, alot of other guys had high capacity pistols (or standard capacity, depending on your point of view), AR's and AK's with qd magazines, and accessories like bandoliers, shell sleeves, magazine holder belt pouches, etc. all to facilitate rapid reloading for both the mandatory mag changes as well as when you simply empty a mag.
Well, it was a friendly match so I was allowed to just empty my sks after 5 shots (5 hits on steel plates at 100 yds with no mods! I like my sks better and better all the time), the use a stripper clip.
I tell you, i got tired of reaching into my pocket for those makarov mags after 8 rounds.
And reloading the 870 by digging into my shorts pocket was a little time consuming as well.
OK, so I was unprepared from an equipment standpoint.
So besides working on my shooting and finally breaking down and getting an AR, AK, (which were laready on my list) and some pouches and stuff I am finally going to do what was NOT on my list: get a high-cap mag using pistol.
That's right, I wasnt going to do it. i just didnt care that much.
Well, the highest readily available capacity ones are all in 9mm, and Glocks (ugly as they are) are reliable right out of the box, popular with lots of accessories and are easy to maintain. Hard to overlook all that.
So which one should i get: G17 or G19?
(Yeah sure, I'd love a G18! Niiiiiiiiiiiice.)
I want one with the best avaialbility of 17 or whatver capacity mags, and those 29 or 33 rounders!
Any other suggestions?
Thaks 1,000,000 in advance,
