Hey everybody, I'm wanting to get into shooting some competition pistol matches and need some advice. I am getting ready to purchase my next gun that will primarily be a carry/SD weapon, but would also like to be able to shoot the same gun for comps as i cannot afford a strictly "competition gun" yet.
I'm considering either a 1911, most likely a SA Mil Spec, possibly a Loaded or an XD .45 Compact. Which would make the better gun for comps?
I know the 1911 would be easier to upgrade later on, which i like, but the limited mag capacity worries me b/c i was talking to a guy that runs the uspsa in my area and he said i would need to be able to carry enough ammo to run a 32 round stage, maybe more if i missed. Thats like 5 mags with a 1911 and only 3 with the XD (assuming i buy more 13-round extension mags).
Assuming i leave either gun stock for now, will they both fit under the Production division?
I know the questions seem kinda dumb, but i'd like info from people that have been there before. Assuming my plans for this weekend get shot down(which they probably will with the weather we are expecting) i plan on going to a local uspsa match and seeing what it is all about.
Thanks in advance!
Corey
