I recently shot my first 3Gun match at the Aurora Gun Club near Denver, CO. My history of competition is about 10 IDPA matches over the last 3.5 years, the odd all-steel match, and I've recently started shooting IPSC. 3Gun was by far the most fun of all 3.
My equipment is lacking, however.
Handgun: since the round-counts are high, a "full capacity" pistol is a must. This knocks out my single-stack 1911 (.45) and leaves me with either a BHP, CZ 85 Combat (with Champion hammer/trigger/sear conversion), or Glock. I think the CZ85 is the choice out of those. It will be scored minor.
A double-stack 1911 in a major caliber would be preferred, but with mag prices where they are, this would be very expensive. Double-stack 1911's are a little large for my hand anyway.
Rifle: Current choice is a FAL (18" or 21") or a RRA AR-15 (16"). I used the AR last time and it was good enough. The 1.5-5X Leupold worked fine, but a ACOG would be better. Since it's in modified, a bipod should be added.
Shotgun: I don't have one - borrowed a Winchester 1300 "Defender" which did okay. A semi-auto would be better. Suggestions?
