I'd appreciate hearing from a few steel shooters on their choice for caliber.
I'm about ready to purchase/build a semi for myself. There is no sanctioned meets here but at least I'd like to be equipped with a semi that would be appropriate for when I get to a sanctioned meet. I'm preferring a limited class 1911 and I'm considering which caliber.
As I understand from a few ex-shooters the 45 ACP recoil is one of the major considerations if you are going to run through 150 rounds in an afternoon. I tend to agree after shooting Bullseye matches and only going through 30 rounds.
Meanwhile a State Trooper friend competes on the Alaska Trooper team and finds his 40 S&W in a Glock to be easy on the body in all day events.
I currently shoot a S&W model 52 amoung other selections (model 60s and 65s.) That 38 wadcutter and I could go all day with no recoil issues. Maybe a 38 Super is a good choice to consider as well.
To many choices and not enough time to make them all.
