Hey folks -
Maybe you all can help me out a little. I am getting into competition shooting (USPSA). As expensive as it is becoming to shoot, obviously it’s going to cost me a lot, but practicing is where I’ll be spending the most in ammo.
Basically I am trying to find a tricky way around the expense of practicing.
Normally I shoot a 1911 in 45acp. In competition. I’d like to find something that will allow me to still have the 1911 body style to duplicate actual comp. shooting, but somehow shoot .22 cal. Instead of 45s.
Since I want to eventually have a 9mm 1911 as well, would it be better for me to get one, and convert it over to a .22 for practice shooting?
Does this seem like the most economical way to do this? (Keeping in mind that I also want to own a 1911 in 9mm). If so, does anyone know where I can start to look for good deals/combos, etc?
I’d like to not spend more than $500 dollars, but that may not be possible. I don’t know. This is where I can get some ideas, suggestions, examples, etc. from you guys.
Are there any other ways to do something like I am talking about?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
