Hi Folks, Looks like I'm going to go with a 9mm for competive shooting.
How much does barrel length have to do with accuracy? My basic understanding is that longer the better. Is their a negative side to a longer barrel in competition?
Don't want to start a discussion regarding brands, but I notice Glock offers 4, 4.5 and 5.3 inch long barrels in their 9mm models. Other brands also have a model that offers different barrel lengths.
Same question but now regarding weight. It would appear that a heavier handgun would be a better bet in competition. Do you folks agree? I'm trying to make the choice between high tech plastic -vs- metal.
Are plastic guns better because they are more "modern" or more recent designs?
Thanks Again,
Bruce
