Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary benefit of a two-belt system in 3-Gun competition?

A two-belt system, like the Safariland inner and outer belt, uses Velcro to allow shooters to easily remove their heavy gear between stages without unthreading accessories from their belt loops, saving time and effort.

How does the Safariland ELS system improve gear management?

The Safariland ELS (Equipment Locking System) features mounting holes and locking forks, enabling rapid attachment and removal of magazine pouches and shell caddies, allowing shooters to quickly customize their loadout for specific stage requirements.

What are some common upgrades for handgun magazines in 3-Gun?

Common upgrades include extended base pads, such as Arredondo base pads for Smith & Wesson M&P magazines, which increase capacity from standard rounds (e.g., 17) to higher amounts (e.g., 21), reducing reload frequency.

Which accessories are crucial for shotgun stages in 3-Gun?

Crucial accessories include various shell caddies, ranging from basic 4-round units to systems like the Carbon Arms TWS 'Backbone,' which holds 14 shells for rapid twin-loading or quad-loading techniques.
