Hi all,
I'm interested in getting into competitive shooting. I used to do NRA bullseye and now I would like to try out NRA action pistol, IDPA & USPSA. I'm starting over from an equipment standpoint. I can only afford to buy one pistol now somewhere in the $1000 range. I want to find a well rounded pistol that I can use across the various competition organizations including conventional pistol. I'm thinking a 9mm or 45 cal single action 1911 style. I like the Para PXT 18-9 and 14-45. I'm thinking that I could buy a base pistol like this now and then when I have a few extra coins have a little extra smithing done while keeping it legal. By choosing a pistol like this, I think I could still use it for NRA Conventional in the center fire or 45 cal portion of the match. For those that compete, I would love to hear your opinion on pistol selection.
Thanks for your help.
