Pro2AInPA Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I'm planning on shooting some Limited 10 in the future and I'm looking for advice on which of my guns to shoot. I can either shoot my Glock 35 that's set up for limited and only load 10 in the mags . .. Or I can shoot my single stack 1911 with 10 round mags. I'm fairly certain I still have the single stack inserts for my CR Speed mag pouches laying around somewhere . . Which route would you guys take?

Singlestack Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I would shoot the SS. But I'm a Singlestack kinda guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Santiago Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 If you're comfortable using the G35 in Limited, the change to L10 is the number of rounds you load and your reloads. The platform is the same. Changing to a singlestack adds changes to grip, index, trigger, safety, etc... Been there... just my thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CocoBolo Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 When faced with such a delima I defer to the accuracy test. Set up a fixed course of fire and run both guns thru keeping track of time and hits. Most of the time I find that the gun with the better hits is the one. I use a hit factor of 4.5 to determine which gun is faster in points per second. You might want to throw a reload into your test course since there could be significant time difference in reloads between the two guns. A side benefit is you get the confidence you need to shoot the gun in a match from the testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm limited as to what I can set up at my home club's pistol range, but I can work up a little something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro2AInPA Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 This is also a good time to buy a new GUN good luck A new pistol isn't in the cards right now. I had an AR stolen and needed to replace it, and I need to scrape together some cash for a new shotgun as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbbean Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Which one are you shooting regularly now? If you can shoot the same gun in two divisions you'll do better than shooting different guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been shooting limited and production with the G35. Shooting my first two single stack matches this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz-0 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I started with L-10 and a single stack. I got pretty good on the reloads too. Now I shoot it with a 2011. Even on a half-assed day, almost as fast as a good day while keeping up with practice on the single stack. On a good day, it's not even close. OTOH, getting decent at single stack reloads pays dividends on everything with a bigger magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan your game like you do in Production but with the added benefit of the Limited go-fast goodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaGunner Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I would shoot the G35 in L-10 instead of production to get scored as major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherryriver Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I always liked the big, long 10-round 1911 L10 mags to handle, especially since they seemed to eject better. First choice is the more comfortable platform for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Amish 1 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Glock is less finicky and the mag changes may be easier than for the SS. Standard COF is 3-4 mag changes, right? That's time savings right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
