Well, I have lurked this place for a long time now so I figured it was about time I made a post.
I recently got a very good deal on a LNIB Glock 22 (one that I didn't want to pass up) which I have since thrown on a pair of Heinie's and a 3.5lb connector. I passed on the extended slide stop as those things had to have been spat from Hell's maw.
I have intentions on shooting in production division but as I won't be getting major scoring (leave it to me to overlook the details, I'm still kicking myself about that one), I'm starting to think I should have just gotten a G17 instead. One problem is that I don't reload at the moment so I am currently running factory ammo which is a bit "spirited" to say the least; I hear that downloaded .40 is more controllable.
In everyone's opinion, would I be putting myself at a disadvantage by shooting .40 in Production without reloading? Should I just keep the equipment I already have, or should I look at trading for a 9mm? I understand that the shooter behind the gun is the most important factor in all of this, but I just want to work up from a solid starting point.
I suffer from a chronic case of buyer's remorse whenever I put down money on anything more than 100 bucks, so all of this may just be a manifestation of my faulty mental wiring.
Your thoughts?
