I'm not so sure that you want to admit to that...I work at gun shop
In addition, there's no real competitive advantages to shooting 9mm in Production Division (9mm scores the same as if you're shooting .500 S&W Magnum) and ammo costs more.I work at gun shop,most people use a 9mm due to the low recoil
The truth is, you can load .40 a lot softer than any 9mm load and still make minor. I've heard it described as damn near cheating by those that have shot such a load. High component prices is the main reason that it isn't commonplace.FWIW though, you can reload some pretty dang soft shooting 40 and .45 as well. I think some .45 at Minor PF, I could probably get the brass to hit the ground before the bullets hit the target.
If you stick around the sport long enough, you'll find that it's not the gun that makes the difference. Get one that you enjoy shooting, and practice until your hands bleed, and then do a little more practice.
I am looking to buy a new pistol to start to shoot uspsa and other shoots around town. I want to know everyones opinon on what would be the better pistol to get the G22 or G23. Or any other suggestions on good pistols for competitive shooting.
