Hey went shooting recently with my new ar15 a couple of months ago and have been debating getting into 3 gun or whatever competitive shooting that makes sense for my equipment.
I have a pretty cheap but solid bastard AR15. Nothing special but put about 1000 rounds through it with 0 malfunctions. Just added a viper 1-6 pst gen 2 scope to it to reach out a bit.
I'm picking up a Mossberg 940 JM Pro from my FFL tomorrow.
Where I feel I could utilize my money a bit, is in the pistol category.
Currently have a PPQ M2 4 inch pistol. And I've noticed it does have quite a bit of recoil. With needing to get a belt and holster set going to really move forward with finishing off everything for 3 gun, I feel part of me wants to just run the PPQ but if I'm going to start buying accessories I might as well get a starter gun before I start buying accessories like a holster or extra magazines/extension/etc.
I've looked at everything from a Glock 34 and several polymer guns to a 2011.
Seems like the Glock 34 is kind of the go to when people want the Honda Civics of a starter gun. The 2011 look and sound great but also expensive. I've debated getting the PPQ Q5 Match to be familiar with the platform.
Basically looking at a starter pistol I can grow with (aka maybe upgrades to help the jump to an expensive platform like the 2011). CZ seem like another good option.
I've got some money to play around with but trying to make the best bang for the buck.
I realize more ammo would probably be the best bet but trying to start off but I could be spending that time with a good platform learning and wondering if I should spend a bit before throwing a holster on my PPQ and get a Glock/CZ/etc.
