Ok, thanks to both of you for the response. What spurred the question is one of the pistols I looked at, the Eaa Stock 3 Extreme, is listed on the EAA site as DA only. Could that be a mistake?

Let me start by saying I don't know squat about this kind of competition. My question is, are some of these events restricted to SA only, DA only, and then some being DA/SA? As I look at pistols, I see some that fit all three category's. What would be the reason to shoot DA only?

I appreciate your help

So, will one of those 22LR conversion units for the large frame fit both the steel frame and the competition frame? Sounds like it will?

Ok, thank you. So it sounds like the difference is almost all cosmetic, except for the longer dust cover and the fact grips won't interchange. I thought it might be something internal. Good point on the finish, hard chrome would be way better than the wonder finish, which I bet is just a coating, which is just another name for paint, but some of it is good.

Thanks, wasn't exactly where I was going, I guess I wasn't clear.

I'm looking at buying a Stock2 in 9mm, I already have a 10mm steel model. The Stock2 is a large, competition frame. So I take it that the Stock 2 will be the same size as my 10mm? But what are the differences between a plain steel frame and a competition frame?

What's funny is I've been looking at some BHP's on Gunbroker, I haven't fired one in 40 years. Maybe it's time

I just went to the STI site, those are nice. I'm going to check those out. Is that a design that STI came up with?

Thank you. I've had my share of CZ's, I still have an old CZ Champion, I just never could warm up to that poly coat finish, that's how I got started on Tanfoglio's. So are you saying that the Tanf'os need work? Even the higher end ones? I was hoping they might be more of a custom shop thing. I'll take a look at the CZ's, thanks for that.

Thanks for the reply, I hope I'm still shooting at 74, salute. Well, I have a M41 Smith for rimfire, and I love to shoot it, but sometimes you just want a little more. As far as optics, I've tried them, and they make sense, and I'm sure that's what I should be doing, but I should also be exercising, eating better, and drinking less. For carry guns I like the Kahrs, and I do go with plastic. I think what I'm after is like having a nice hot rod or bike in the garage, and taking it out on a nice afternoon or evening.

I should have added, it doesn't make too much difference if it's SA or DA, and I like irons, so I don't care if it's optics ready.

Hay fellas, I'd like to get a little advice on a nice pistol. I'm not a competitive shooter, I was years ago, just don't want to spend the time now. But I know guys that compete know guns, that's why I'm here. I'm sure I'm older than most of you, 65, but I still like to send a few hundred down range on a nice day. Lately I've been downsizing, my thinking is sell 3 or 4, and buy 1 nice one. This is what I'm after, a really nice to shoot 9mm, cause the ammo is cheap, something smooth, nice trigger, something to be proud of. I'm a big fan of Tanfoglio's, and I'm looking at a Stock 3, or a Stock 3 Extreme, or a Limited Custom, something along those lines, but it doesn't have to be a Tanfoglio. A couple months back a dealer in town had one of those manufacturer rep shows and I rented one of those Sig P210's, shot very nice, felt great, I've never been a Sig fan, kinda bulky, but would consider that pistol. I would welcome suggestions, advice, idea's. I figure my budget would be 2500. Thanks for any help.
