I am taking a 3-Gun intro course. For equipment it says:
Equipment requirements:
Don’t have all the gear you need? Ask us about demo equipment!
– AR-15 style rifle
– Semi-automatic pistol
– 12 gauge autoloading or pump action shotgun
– Belt, holster, shotgun shell caddies, mag pouch
– 100 rounds of shotgun; 100 rounds of pistol; 100 rounds of rifle; 10 slugs
– Eye and ear protection
100 rounds of shotgun - I assume that is buckshot? Midway has 250 Buckshot for $79.99, I never buy it, they say that is 50% off. Deal?

These go from 6 to 10 shot mag extensions. With the standard 870 smooth slug barrel, what is the longest I can get and not stick out the end? I have seen them sticking past the barrel but I'm not interested in that. Is there a "better" extension?
I have a few choices in handguns. Some with upgraded sights but otherwise stock. Is there any obvious advantage/trend between SA, SA/DA or 9mm vs. .45?
I'll need an OWB holster. Any suggestions?
My AR has a scope/ 20". I could put the original handle irons/16" back on but there is not much in the middle unless I buy something to mount at 90 which I have considered. The scope is a Weaver 1.5 to 6x. I'm not feeling like I have to change anything but would consider it.
I'm doing this for fun. I'm choking and puking on the $250 for the course so cost is a factor on what I get.
