Wait until you get going as there are rules as to how you can carry your ammo. I think you will find that it has to be off your belt. Reloading the shotgun is a major part of the game and there are several different ways of doing it quickly. Decide on what method suits you best before buying shell carriers as they are expensive. Unless you want to shoot in Open, do not buy ported chokes as they will force you into open. Be prepared for major fun !!
Lets see your complete 3 Gun Set-Up (Pics Please!)

Beautiful Steve! I bet you're looking forward to those AIA 308 mags supposedly landing this fall...
I am sure he still is, but the RCMP declared them dual use and axed them all down to 10 rounds...

Nice setup Steve!

I'm okay with the two I have right now.
Thanks, Andy.
That shotgun looks awesome.
Thanks ! Magpull FDE, Graphite Black, and everyone's favourite Burnt Bronze. The Camo was excruciating to blast off.

$80 shipped to my door. That was providing a new lifter for it. I was the first on he did and it has been flawless. I heard he is just selling the taran tacticals now. Tried one and it caused jams every round. Back to my tacord. It is oxidizing at the weld a bit, but it runs and doesn't eat my finger.
Thanks for the feedback, guys.
Schecter, is the TT one no good because it's too short? I've read they're designed for 3" Benellis.

No idea. I doesn't seem to be too short, but it sticks in the lifted position and doesn't center the round when it feeds. It allows the round to jam on the ejection port when feeding. I have read of guys using the Taran successfully and they must be if Casey is selling them. Mine must just be a little out of spec or something. I ordered mine out of the US when I ordered up a Dawson site for my STI.
You probably need to "twist" the lifter slightly to the left side of the receiver....to get the shell to centre correctly!
Sticking could be a couple different things.....it could be binding on the pins, or may be a burr on the lifter itself, or spring tension...can you take pics and post them......we might be able to diagnose the problem

I just pulled it out and went back to my TacOrd lifter. I only bought the Taran to try it out cause I heard they work and the welded one was showing some discolouration. The Taran is nice and shiny. Doesn't really matter that much though, the gun is getting all banged up and scratched from matches anyways. I may just throw the Taran up on the EE and get rid of it, just sitting in my parts bin right now.
