The plan was to go with my Glock 17, Mossberg Pump and a Norinco UZI (long barreled Officers Model). The Pistol match was on Saturday and on Sunday the Shotgun and Rifle Match. The Sunday morning I was offered a LM to shoot the match with. No my experience with semi auto rifles is extremely limited and I have only fired a few shots with a Ruger Mini 14 and a Dashprod and 2 shots with a R1. I decided what the hell and grabbed the bull by the horns.

It was a excellent weekend and the shooting went on fantastic. In the handgun match I came 3rd and in the 3 gun match I came 4th. Also consider that I have only obtained my Mosberg recently and have only shot about 20 to 30 rounds with it to date.

In the recent few months I have now been 'forced' to shoot competitively with unfamiliar guns and I do think that I came out of it OK. The first time was earlier this year at the IPSC nationals in Cape Town when I shot with a Z88 (although similar to my SP1 it is a different gun with a different feel) and now this 3gun match where the Rifle was totally new to me and the shotgun also still pretty much new to me.....

As I say....it was a excellent experience!!!!!

been shooting 3 gun for a while at club.my winchester 1300 defender has never ever missed a beat,fitted it with pistol grip folding stock.
out shot guys with semi-autos,some how they seem to have regular jams,probably cases expand to much, maybe semi autos are sensitive to this.

Hi Shot our first club 3gun with a borrowed belgian FN. wow what a rifle. But at the coastal 3 gun shoots we do not see much distance, dunno about the CT guys but EC and knysna we do not have ranges with 300m for a rifle stage. Mark G won it with his UZZI, because he can shoot and reload faster with it up to 40-50m .
What other 9mm carbines are out there that you guys would recommend.

Stan, if you're only going to be shooting at club level, a carbine is perfect. At national and international level, the trend is to use rifles what they are designed for - longer distances.

At the Polokwane 3 gun Nationals you're looking at 100m and 200m stages - even at NGPSA shoots the target distances are becoming longer !

Just something to consider if you would like to shoot the Nationals or land up in Gauteng
