Frequently Asked Questions

What are the essential firearms for 3-Gun competition?

A 3-Gun competition typically requires a pistol, a rifle, and a shotgun. While professional shooters use highly modified 'race guns,' beginners can start with standard firearms like a Glock 34 pistol, an AR-15 rifle, and a Remington 870 pump-action shotgun.

How much ammunition is typically used in a 3-Gun match?

3-Gun matches involve high round counts. Competitors often shoot over 150 rifle rounds, 200 pistol rounds, and 150 shotgun rounds within a single match, demanding reliable firearms and ample ammunition.

What modifications are beneficial for a competition Glock 34?

Modifications for a competition Glock 34 can include slide lightening for faster cycling, specialized triggers, high-visibility sights, and aggressive stippling for grip. Adding a weapon light like the Surefire X300 can also help control muzzle flip.

Why are magazine extensions important in 3-Gun?

Magazine extensions, such as Taran Tactical Innovations base pads, increase ammunition capacity (e.g., Glock magazines to 22+1 rounds). They also add weight to the bottom of the magazine, ensuring they drop freely and quickly during reloads.
