WeldBoy Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 What would you guys recommend for a first pistol in 3-gun and USPSA? try to keep the price under $1k Im looking at a Glock 34. Hoping to upgrade it though the classes and later maybe a 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmc90 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 RIA hickory 9mm. Love mine There’s a thread dedicated to them on Enos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snipaz2420 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 If you are looking at a Glock 34 you may want to consider a Glock 35 instead and buy a 9mm conversion barrel and 9mm mags for it. You can shoot USPSA limited major with the 40 and swap to 9mm for 3 gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, do have a legal pistol now, and if so do you like is and what is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Recommend you start with whatever you currently have, or are currently familiar with. The Glocks are good way to start - and don't spend too much right away until you get some experience and see what direction you would like to go.

Drop a d spring in that bad boy and rock and roll. You can get big mags for three gun and shoot production in uspsa. No need to spend any more money for some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJH Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 1 hour ago, WeldBoy said: D spring? hammer spring? Yes the main spring. You can get it from Beretta and some other places. It is what Beretta uses in their DAO guns and will lighten and smooth the DA pull on your 92 quite a bit and the SA trigger a little bit. Cost less than $10 if i remember correctly. Also won't affect reliability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC082581 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I started 3 gun with a Glock 34 and now shoot a CZ. In all honesty, all the money you could (if you choose to) drop into a Glock, you’re better off starting with a steel frame gun.

DixieBushcraft Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I am using a Glock 17 gen4. Not very “sexy”, but it does the job quite well. I have about $500 in the pistol and mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickDrawMcGraw Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Glock 34 or CZ SP01 would be my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
