After going to the October match at OB, I am really interested in getting involved. Currently I have a Sig p220 carry SAS and a FNP-45. Would one of these be ok for someone very new to competitive shooting? I have been planning on getting a full size 9mm anyway, so would that be a better choice? Currently looking at the CZ 75B and the Sig p226. They both have so many variations, making a choice difficult. DA/SA, SA only, night sights, fiber optic sights, so much to think about. They sure don't make it easy.

Whichever gun you shoot better is the gun you should use.

you're good with your sig and or fnp for starters. Although, they're a little bit more expensive to shoot because of the ammo. Try out a match or two with what you have and you can ask the guys at the match what they shoot and why. After doing some research, you can decide which one you can shoot best for the division you want to compete in.

 

BTW, both CZ75 and Sig 226 are great choices for production.

Can't remember right now, but isn't the CZ 75B-SA excluded from production while the CZ-75B is ok being it DA/SA rather than SAO being I think it was mentioned above..

I'm pretty sure that is correct. No single action in production. Limited and Limited 10

Yes it's excluded. Too bad, i really like that CZ 75 SA Target model. I may just give it a shot with the FNP-45 but practice is very expensive with .45.

Get a holster, at least 5 mags, mag pouches and ammo. Come to the match and everyone will assist you. My first USPSA match was last September and the guys here in the forum and at the matches were nothing but great in helping a new shooter out. So come and let's all have fun.

 

Next match is on Saturday at Shongum. Here's the link for more info: http://www.shongum.org/activities/uspsa.html

It's not just the ammo either. For the FNP I would need a holster and mag pouches as well. Also having a really tough time finding extra mags for it. Besides, I bought that one for a specific purpose, it's going to have a light mounted and sit in the nightstand.

 

I guess I'm really just trying to justify buying another gun...

Ater all, I do have one permit left.

As others have suggested to me, a polymer gun in .40 S&W like a Glock 22/35 & M&P 40 will let you shoot more division than others. You can use it for production, Limited, Limited 10. Just thought I'd share with you as well. I had friends who helped me load a .40 in minor and man, kicks less than a 9mm factory ammo.

I like the SA also, but thinking about the B model, trigger is the same being I'm racked and safety on, so no big deal there,a nd I was thinking about it for steel also, a lot cheaper to shoot even for me who will be reloading both calibers, plus I want another CZ,

Well, I'm going to SS tomorrow to play with the FN anyway. Hopefully, they have a CZ for me to check out.

They have a few new ones under the counter. They also have an EAA Witness on the rental board. It is a CZ clone and should give you an idea of what the CZ shoots like.

single action not allowed but striker fired is? man that's weird.

A striker fired gun is considered DAO (double action only), and will be heavier pull than a SA gun.

 

SAO is allowed, but only in Limited, Limited 10, SS, and Open divisions. SAO guns must be started with safety on.
