First post here.
I used to shoot Practical Pistol in the UK 20 years ago with a compensated 38 super 1911 and Aimpoint. Quite something back then. The UK Government then banned handguns completely in 1997 and that was the end of our fun.
Now I live in Switzerland where gun laws are the most liberal in Europe and over the last few years have built up a nice collection of rifles, shotguns and handguns.
I'd love to get back into Practical Pistol. Over here it's IPSC and I have familiarised myself with the principles of each division. Right now all I have is production Glocks, but I'm keen to get shooting again in whatever division I can compete in. The question is, with which gun?
I have 3 Glocks, all Gen 4s. A G23, G20 and G21. The G23 is too compact even though I love shooting it, which leaves the G20 and G21. Both have the large backstraps as I have big hands which is the main reason I don't have a G17 or G22.
The 2 divisions of interest are Production and Standard. Either the G20 or G21 could make Major in Standard or maybe use reduced loads in the G20 in Production? What do you think?
Finally can I choose any holster make and type in either division? If so what would work well? I am aware of the "behind the hip" rule.
Any information gratefully received.
