tfinnerr Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Paid a fair amount more for an SVI in 9mm as a purpose built 3Gun pistol. Pistol shooting is, by a fair margin, the hardest discipline in 3Gun and I know that’s a strong opinion but I have found that to be the case over the past 6 years of shooting 3Gun. It feels like cheating and has been rock solid through some very physically demanding matches where other 2011s have failed with mechanical issues. It was 100% worth the price considering how much majors can cost these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakerjd Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I have a top end in 9mm for my current limited gun. For me it's because I have nerve damage in both arms and 9mm is less abuse on them. Although I've never actually used the 9mm top end... actually come to think of it, I still havent even fitted it to the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's his Xframe and weighs 48 ounces. It is a pure joy to shoot. something just moved, down there... i see few to none uber-expensive handguns at the 2 & 3 gun matches around here. lotsa edges and eagles. on top of 2/3 gun, can be used in steel challenge, falling steel matches, even idpa if the gun isn't too crazy. and yeah, some shoot these in uspsa as practice for 3 gun.

TonytheTiger Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I've seen lots of Honchos in 3 gun lately. Used by shooters at extreme ends of the skill spectrum. @RangerTrace what color is that blaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I used to think $5k was a lot to spend on a custom Open gun. That was until I built two myself. I bought all first rate parts and I'm North of $4k, including about $950 worth of machining. That does not include finishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you're adding the parts yourself and looking for sales, coupons, and deals, the price will add up between everything to get it exactly how you want. Might be a little less if you're looking at a Limited gun vs. Open, but the wallets starts to burn regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerTrace Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Oh and I just became one of those folks. Ordered an Atlas NYX for IDPA/work. $4900 with a $300 discount. It's the most I've ever paid for a pistol. I hope it's as nice as it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
