Re: Handgun for IPSC - your thoughts

I think one of the STI models would suit you depending on your budget. Mine is in 38 Super and it is wonderful to compete with. Some of the other guys use Taurus also and have had no issues with them. My STI is a race gun but I am going to down grade it to a more basic model (Trojan maybe?) and go back to open sights as I feel this is where a hand gun has it's major "practical" use.
Yes I saw some STI models are also available in .38 Super. The model I have tried is the Trojan.
However it is annoying, as ultimately I would go for a 9mm plus a .40 S&W or .45 ACP. Not the .38 Super at all.
While in Vic, a .45 ACP can be purchased for IPSC, here in SA they stick rigidly to the National Firearms Agreement and that means nothing over 9mm for IPSC.
Stll thinking about this.
Good to read your comments. I want to start with the basics with a handgun. Just like everyone (who has adequate eyesight) should learn to shoot a rifle with open sights, before using scopes.
