So, I am gaining more of an interest in trying the 3-gun world out. I'm curious to what kind of "starter" hardware I should start looking at for just attempting it. I have multiple pistols, ARs and shotguns...but I doubt any of them are "3-gun worthy". Please bear with me. I've been shooting for years, but never even considered 3-gun until recently.
Pistols:
I'm assuming 9mm is suggested. What are some good entry level "race pistol" suggestions that you have? Perhaps common upgrades I could make to existing pistols (I have Sig P320 and P226 for my 9mms)?
Rifles/ARs:
I already have a lightweight AR build that's been very reliable for me so far. If I want to turn it into a 3-gun AR, I would swap out the barrel. What barrel length, profile, twist rate and gas length is common for 3-gun ARs? Anything else I should swap out?
Shotguns:
For shotguns, I have a home defense 870 and a Browning Maxus for hunting. Pretty sure I'll need to just get a new shotgun meant for 3-gun. What is a good entry option?
