You always say that, but it is so true.
REPOSTED from another thread (cause I'm lazy)
5 vs 6 - Heavy vs Light - Fiber Optic vs Standard Sight - Short Open vs Long Open
I've tried all of these and NONE of them seem to make ANY difference in my scores. Yes, some are more comfortable, less violent, ect., but MY times and points don't change. I can shoot as accurately with my Sig P226 as my wiz bang limited gun. I can shoot as fast with a light gun as a heavy gun (or long versus short for open.) The guns I have are the result of trying a lot of guns out and taking what I like best and making what I want. Do they make me shoot any better, nope. That is not subjective, I've put it to the timer. Everthing has it's trade off's.
I went back to shooting limited because I knew that shooting open I could get away with doing things wrong and in limited you can't "cheat" your technique and perform as well. It had taught me a lot, most of all it taught me that as long as your gun groups, is 100% reliable, has a decent trigger, and likes to eat bullets and be dry fired, it won't be what holds you back.
Now cool factor, that's a whole different story...
... there is no accounting for taste.
As for which is best, whichever one convinces you to play with it most
