Viable 3 gun options

Featured Replies

I know NJ isn't a big 3-gun state. But for those of you who run it once in a while, what are the more popular guns out there. Typically, 3-gun or USPSA Limited divisions don't have a capacity limit on mags, but we're restricted to 15 so...

Guns and magazines are different things. The guns you use in nj for 3gun are the same you would use anywhere else, just with smaller magazines.

I hear that.  I should have been more specific. I am asking more in lines with which gun options I can take advantage of the 15 round restriction.  I'm probably more interested in 9mm options, b/c that's what I reload for, but I'll take .40 suggestions as well.  I just want to know what's being used out there on the scene.  I've not yet attended any 3 gun matches myself.

 

 

Edit: I know most major gun manufacturers make 10 round mags for most of their guns.  15 rounders (9mm), like the one CZ makes for their 75b is much more rare.

Any pistol with a 15 round mag that you shoot comfortably. Same for semi rifle and shotgun. Am i missing something here? Whatever division you like !!! If you havent done it before. Id say start with what youre most comfortable with. ?? Only because a dq really sucks and it hits home hard.

what do you currently have?

I've got a CZ SP-01 Shadow for production, and I've got some 15 round magazines on order for it.  I am toying with the idea of setting up another gun dedicated for 3 gun, but for the life of me can't find other 9mm from the major brands that offer 15 round mags.  Maybe it's a stupid search and I should just use the CZ for 3 gun also.

S&W M&P 9 has 15 round mags - hard to get but they exist.

Just shoot your CZ, you don't need to spend more money at this point, it will be fine.  

What Vlad, said the SP01 is a good gun for production and will be good enough for 3gun. Get your feet wet a bit and see if you like it(you will) and decide how you want to proceed. Rifle and shotgun plus accessories will get expensive. Also don't listen to Krdshk, he has a m&p and is biased towards it

though it seems you like steel guns, the HK VP9 comes with 15rd mags and can take P30 mags as well...just sayin'

 Also don't listen to Krdshk, he has a m&p and is biased towards it.

 

I kid of course the m&p as is all the plastic fantastic day are all fine.

 

I can't help it, I like the gun and it does have 15 rounders!

Rather have the SP01. Shot a stock model and it was nice. Shot one from CZ custom shop and was amazed at how nice it was. All that being said run whatever you have.

Also don't listen to Krdshk, he has a m&p and is biased towards it.

 

 

Heck I shoot an M&P too, and I still told him to use his CZ :)

The CZ is nice.  Only M&P I've held is the Shield.  But the grip didn't feel right to me.  I'm sure full size M&Ps feel differently.
