I have been a hunter most of my life but have never really had a use for a handgun but I have seen a few programs on TV latley that had match pistol shooting. I noticed that most of the guns that were being used were the colt 1911 style pistols. I have been reading this forum for a little while and notice everyone really seems to like Sigs, berettas,H&Ks, and Glocks. My questions are why did I not see or here these guns mentioned during the programs? Do people use these brands for match or are they mostly a defence type gun? If they are used which ones are the best for match shooting? Could it be possible that it depends on who is putting on the competition?
