My friends who use semi-auto shotguns are fans of the Benelli M2. The Benelli M2 shotgun can be enhanced with aftermarket parts. Beretta 1301 comes with an oversized safety, bolt handle and bolt release button from the factory. Most of the shooters in this sport use Benelli M2 or Beretta 1301 Competition shotguns.
This makes 3-gun a real challenge because it tests their skills with all three firearms and it requires different skill sets in order to win the competition. The average shooter is usually pretty good with one particular firearm but not so good with the others. This is where competitors have to use 3 different types of firearms such as a rifle, shotgun, and pistol.
But one particular competition that is getting a lot of attention is the 3-gun competition. There are many types of shooting competitions out there for gun enthusiasts to take part in. That is why I often receive questions about semi-auto shotguns because they are mostly used in 3-Gun. The most popular dynamic shooting sport in the USA is 3-Gun Nation. You need to move fast from one shooting position to another, load your shotgun quickly and shoot from various positions at different targets at a variety of distances with all types of common shotgun ammunition: birdshot, buckshot, and slugs. Such competitions are the best way to check your skills under stress. If the shotgun holds two rounds in the magazine tube and one round in the chamber, adding a three shot tube will then increase the capacity to six rounds.Readers of the blog know that I like to often participate in dynamic/practical shotgun shooting competitions (they have different names such as the International Practical Shooting Confederation, United States Practical Shooting Association, 3-Gun Nation, International Defense Pistol Association, etc). (Example) If your shotgun currently holds three rounds in the magazine tube and one in the chamber, then adding a 6 shot tube will bring the total to ten rounds. Sure Cycle magazine extension tubes normally will not exceed the muzzle of most shotguns with 28" or longer barrels.Īll of the Sure Cycle mag tube extensions connect to the existing factory magazine tube, therefore adding the round amount listed to the amount your firearm currently holds with the existing magazine tube. This magazine tube extension will fit Benelli SBE, SBE II, SBE3, M1 Super 90, M1 and M2 shotguns. The stainless one-piece construction of the tube is coated in Black Cerakote making it virtually impervious to any rust or corrosion caused by some of the worst weather conditions. Great for waterfowlers chasing snow geese, 3 gunners and home defense applications. This allows the user to convert from normal capacity to higher capacity without alteration of the firearm or OEM tube. Utilizing a ratchet alloy collar, the Sure Cycle system allows for a very quick change by adding round capacity to the existing magazine tube. Featuring a 316L Stainless Steel Tube, a low drag red anodized follower, stainless steel spring and steel barrel clamp with sling swivel, The Sure Cycle magazine tube extensions are the premier extension for your shotgun.
