Best products from r/3gun

Yeah it seemed like a pretty good one for the price. And sorry about that, I fixed it. Here is the mag holders though, haha. I'm at work so I get distracted easily

Rifle stuff:

• Get a bundle of regular chamber flags, like [these]. There's no reason to spend that much on a chamber flag.
  
• I'm a big fan of Holosun Red Dots, especially the motion activated circle dot (EoTech style reticle) models like the HS503GU. The smaller dot definitely helps with longer range-small target shots.
  
• If you're going to stick with the TRS-25 (I've competed with one myself), go for the tall riser rather than the medium. Many competitors are moving to 2.04" optic mounts for a more upright head position, the one you linked works out to be 1.54". [Link]
  
• The fancy charging handle is somewhere between nice-to-have and pointless. It all depends on whether your local clubs stage guns hot/cold, and whether you have to drop the mag and clear the chamber before dumping the gun. The 4 clubs I shoot at all have different rules for this.
  
• I would skip the MS4 sling and the QD end plate. Single point is good in very specific circumstances, which don't exist in 3gun. Save the cash, and get an MS1. Note that you will rarely need or use a sling in 3gun. 2gun/combat type matches generally require one however.
  
• Don't buy a BAD lever. Consider the PDQ bolt catch, or another option if you need to manipulate the bolt catch from the right side of the rifle. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4cwMNIogZ4
  
• If you don't already have a bore snake and a cleaning rod, I would pick up both. Bore snake for simple bore maintenance, and cleaning rod to pound out a squib. If you shoot enough, you will eventually get a squib.
  
• You will want to buy a handful of mags. Stick with PMAGs, there's no real reason to get anything else.
  
  Pistol stuff:
  
  
• That holster may not work well with that belt. I would get an ALS version with mid or low ride mount. Or get a purpose made friction only holster. I use a 6930ALS mid ride-light bearing with a G19.
  
• I have the same pistol mag caddys. No complaints from me, but if you really want to be competitive from the start, you may want something that allows adjustment for better indexing. Someone else will be able to recommend them for you.
  
  Shotgun:
  
  
• Opening up the loading port will help, without a doubt.
  
• That shell caddy is really nice. I personally use Taccom caddies due to their price.
  
• Skip the fancy chamber flag
  
• Might be worth looking into Taccom's match saver [link]. No opinion one way or another. Note that match saver's tend to be consumable items, as dumping the shotgun after using the match saver will sometimes break it.
  
  Transport Equipment:
  
  
• You will get really annoyed carrying around your gear, ammo, snacks, and water. There's a reason that carts and wagons are so prevalent. I personally use a $40 collapsible wagon from Walmart, because I can't fit anything bigger in my car.

This is what I use: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WJJJX2Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Great tool. Works on your balance and strengthens a bunch of secondary muscles that are used when aiming. Also helps you learn to compensate for sway.

Really liking the new bags we got from Savior Gear. The 55" fits my 13rd tube perfectly: https://www.amazon.com/Savior-Equipment-Warfare-Tactical-Backpack/dp/B07LD3DYLX/ref=sr_1_4?crid=8HSG5ECXV30C&keywords=savior+rifle+case&qid=1554724104&s=sporting-goods&sprefix=3gun+bag%2Csporting%2C304&sr=1-4

oh so you can get something like the 8up thats meant for "grab 4" but just grab 2? - https://www.amazon.com/8S4-SPORT-Shell-Holder-Black/dp/B01ETXID8Y/ref=sr_1_1?m=AXG3ZO3RCVLD8&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1523974142&sr=1-1&keywords=8+shell

that would be ideal.

I agree with the other guy with Safariland Comp Belt because it’s easy to rearrange stuff as needed for each stage https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009PR9V9K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QCWnDbKZ6Q5XN

I’ll also advocate for invictus over taccom. I have both.

For belts, other people use stiff double Velcro belts like: Blade-Tech Competition Gun Belt, 42-Inch, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B79O38I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-GWnDbQ2E0XY9

https://www.amazon.ca/Breakaway-Nylon-Coaster-Cat-Tail/dp/B00AAIRRTY

I don't know why it is listed at $69. maybe as a joke. When I got them I got three for like $15.

I bought these Coleman ones and they've been fantastic.

Does vortex make a 1-6x scope that is reasonable price?

And is this worth the extra grand?

Thanks! What do you think about this one (4x prism).

The blade tech revolution would work well for what you need. They're only $25 on amazon:

Try the Johnny Clip 2x4.
It strikes the balance of retention and release, mounts from the package to your 2 inch belt or MOLLE (no requirement to buy a mounting system) and works with TekLock and ELS if you choose.
I use three of them (24 rounds combined) to tackle most stages.

Just in case anyone would like to make their own, I found everything on Amazon except the screws and nylon belts. Those I just grabbed at Home Depot and Hobby Lobby.

Clips:

Kydex:

There are enough sheets here to make 4 belts. I took a 12x12in sheet and cut it in half for my belt.

Make your own lever.
