I am getting my shopping list together for gear for 3 gun competition next year. One of my goals is to buy the right tools the first time around. After doing a lot of research both online and hands=on I have narrowed the pistol down to a EAA/Tanfoglio pistol. I intend to compete in Heavy Metal division so I was going to go with a Match .45, however the longer sight radius of the Hunter is intriguing. I looked thru all of the 3 gun rule books and I can't find any reason I couldn't use a Hunter in HM competition.
While I grew up shooting 1911's the feel of the Match trigger in addition to the 10+1 capacity led my to a Match pistol. The one thing I'm not sure of is the longer barrel of the Hunter going to make fast transitions more difficult as my skill level gets to the point were it would make the difference between a win and a loss.
Looking forward to the communities thoughts.
