·Hi folks,
I've really gotten into 3-gun competition in the last couple of months, and my M9 is really pulling its weight - especially because I SUCK at loading my shotgun. Now that I have figured out that I can't go 600+ rounds without cleaning WHILE attempting to use Remington UMC it is working like a champ again. (Although I bet with WWB I could get 90% reliability to 1,000 or so rounds)
Here is a link to 2 videos a friend shot at this past weekend's F.O.P. Lodge 59 Charity 3-Gun in Fayetteville, NC. Right click and "Save As" to save the file to your computer for best playback results. The file names are FOP_3Gun_1.avi and FOP_3Gun_2.avi, about 25MB each.

FOP_3Gun_1.avi - stage setup "3Gun D-Drill"
Start at low ready, at buzzer engage steel sillhouette at 75 yards: 6 hits standing, then 6 hits kneeling and finally 6 hits prone. Mandatory reload somewhere within shooting string.
Clear carbine and ground, then advance to first line to retrieve empty pistol from table, all pistol magazines obtained from table. Load and engage T1-T3 2-rounds each (at an angle about 18 yards away from table). T1-T3 are painted with hardcover on everything except IPSC A-Zone.
Clear pistol and ground on table, retrieve empty shotgun. Load shotgun from person or table and engage pepper poppers P1-P2 and clear plate rack (6 pieces at about 15 yards).
FOP_3Gun_2.avi - stage setup "Hogan's Alley"
Start inside phone booth, with phone in hand at ear. At buzzer, while retaining phone in hand, step outside, draw and engage T1-T2 (1 no-shoot) strong-hand only 2 rounds each. Phone must be hung up properly before advancing to next position. Advance to house 1 and engage T3-T8 (6 targets, 1 no-shoot). Advance to house 2 and engage T9-T15 (7 targets, 1 no-shoot). Holster pistol and advance to table and retrieve loaded shotgun. Engage "Texas Star" (5-Plate spinner occluded by 2 steel targets so it can only be engaged at the top and bottom) and steel plates P1-P6 (6 plates on stands). If you run out of shotgun rounds, you may transition to your pistol to engage remaining steel.
I had a TON of fun and the M9 ran like a Swiss timepiece for 180 or so rounds. I dropped only 1 pistol shot the entire match with no no-shoots and as you can see in the 2nd video it SAVED me after I missed with the shotgun and ran out of rounds on the steel targets. I actually placed 3rd overall on the 3-Gun D-Drill stage in video 1, which was actually 2nd because the guy in front of me was firing so fast that the RO's gave him all his hits when clearly he had at least 2 drops. He's a nice guy, so I didn't care much. I shot so poorly the rest of the match that I finished 24th out of 56 shooters.
It was a lot of fun for a great cause, and since it was in Fayetteville (home of Ft. Bragg and Army SOCOM) I got to shoot with a bunch of guys from 3rd Group SF and even some Delta boys. One such gentleman brought his ultra-trick Heckler & Koch 416 10" barrel select-fire carbine from work (the interim SF carbine until the SCAR project is completed). I wanted to take a picture, but thought better of it :wink:
