usmc1974 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I was wondering if any body uses a 1911 ss for 3 gun matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3gungeezer Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Yes,Can you say Heavy Metal?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetracer013 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I did, but after reloading 4 times on one stage while everyone else reloaded once, I bought a m&p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I don't but there's a couple guys out here that do in TacOptics.. especially at club matches, shoot what you enjoy. Since most 3 Gun matches don't have that many pisotl rounds... your not giving up a whole lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHARP2 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 i know of one guy that does all the time. 1911's are all that he owns, and never saw the point of changing. I see newer people use what they have as well, then figure out what they need/want to play the game. Those that are out to have fun, shoot what they own. I have never done it, but would with my Trojan and 10 rd mags. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRider Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I do. I mainly shoot Heavy Metal but have used my 1911 when I was shooting Limited. Depending on the rules of the match, you are not at a huge disadvantage most places. Some matches allow one A hit to neutralize, so you can manage ammo on close targets. It is only where there are more than ten rounds required from a standing location (at the end of a long multi gun stage, you will sometimes face this with the pistol) that I feel I am at a disadvantage.

Red_SC Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I did to start with since that's all I had, I like shooting single stack but ended up going to a hicap. Hurley can shoot manly guns and keep up, I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzworm Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) I shot FB3G and BRM3G in tac/optics with a single stack and 10 rd mags, never felt it was a disadvantage. I sometimes shoot my STI, but I shoot the 1911 better, so I try to just stick with it. Most arrays are not a problem with 11 rds in the gun. I also mostly shoot He Man, so it is no big change.

Mr Player Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I shoot a SS but mainly cause it was what I was familiar with. I got a limited gun because I too was sick of worry about my reloads. I think that pistol can only loose you a 3 gun match but it cannot win one for you. Just my $.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
