A slower time with accuracy wins every time.
Out of all the posts...that's what you pick to quote? OK . In my experience,
If everybody slowed down at anything "race" related the better times will get better by themselves. IDPA, USPSA, 3 gun or backyard bb gun challenges ...what ever.
As far as "what I shoot"....I just started competition against paper and steel, I just retired after 30 years from shooting at things that shoot back. I carried a colt .45 or sig p220 since 1985 when I enlisted. I was "fortunate" enough to be in a part of the military that allowed us to have high speed cool things.
I've owned a 1911 in 9mm and It was fun, cheaper to shoot and easier on the recoil than any of my .45's. When I forgot about the clock my 9mm time was faster than a .45.
I'm also reading these posts because I'm looking to see if buying a 9mm again is worth it or just buy another .45.
So if the comments about the .40's didn't bother you and we are all just sticking to what the op asked. I say shoot what you shoot best.
Not trying to step on toes just my 2 cents worth.

That sh!t will get you killed on the street
I think Peterthefish's point was you don't actual have to aim in USPSA, the targets are so close that you can just hose away....now IDPA, that shit is hard, you have to aim.
All that while wearing a tactical fishing vest. I think that's what makes it tougher.

Really my point was just that the whole "slow is smooth and smooth is fast and accurate" and line is overrated in general, and not really applicable to USPSA, where balancing speed and accuracy is more important than just accuracy. And practicing slow doesn't really lead to improvement in times.
Why balance speed and accuracy? why not try for all the speed and all the accuracy. Why give up one for another?
Go to the matches and watch the guys that look like good shooters (it's easy to tell).
They have a pig on the back of their shirt
Team Rudy Project too.
They need a new shirt vendor. The team Rudy guys have the slowest go fast shirts I've ever seen.
There is an element of truth to the fact that there appears to be a correlation between pig shirts and shooting good.They have a pig on the back of their shirt

I am looking for a 1911 for USPSA. I love the 45, and the Major factor is a plus, but because of cost considerations, I would like to stay with 9mm.
My question is, how do the 9mm 1911 guns handle, compared to the 45 ? I love the accuracy I get from the 45.
Will a 9mm for example S&W have the same 1911 feel, or is it more a bastardized version of the 45 1911 for whimps ?
I presume a 9mm 1911 with the 10 round magazine would be considered a production class.
Also, in USPSA does 1911 start cocked and locked or fully decocked ?
Thank You

Hey in uspsa would I have gotten dinged for having TOO many mags and too much ammo during a run?

At my last idpa I got fanged for having a 4th 9 round mag, I had a malfunction dumped mag, slid in a freshy and BLAMO, Procedural penalty. Thanks to my Remington r1 enhanced 9mm I am extremely fast at clearing malfunctions of various types (36 fte out 144 rounds last time I held it, now waiting on my refund ) My thought was, this is a "simulation" of a gunfight, since when is having to much ammo in a gunfight a bad thing?
