Jasonatlaw Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 My three kids are interested in getting into shooting and I thought I would get active again in USPSA. Would like to see about getting them commander sized 9mm. Let me know what you've got. With or without gear or mags. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braxton1 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Just for the Sight Radius, I'd stick with Gov't-length guns. 9mm Single Stacks should be relatively available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) For USPSA ? I would get them a 5" Plastic fantastic double stack 9mm. They will run out of the box and the mags will work at full capacity.. Probably half the cost of a 1911 that will still need reliability work. Not to mention they will have way more fun shooting, vs reloading. Sig, S&W M&P, XDM Elite,, or Glock 17 . Let em shoot A fudgecicle nobody but a few crayon chewers and winder likkers want or CO Edited September 28, 2022 by Joe4d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Ok edited this a few times,,, "A fudgecicle nobody but crayon chewers and winder likkers want" Keeps popping into my posts,,,, I didnt type it.. I deleted it, hit save and its back in my posts.. Have seen it before in my posts,, thought it was funny,, But never recalled typing it... I am not that poetic.

Jasonatlaw Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 Fudgecicle? Crayon chewers and winder likkers? ... I ... uh .... hmmm.... So, you think a plastic gun would be a better choice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanb Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Limited minor gets changed to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 For folks starting out in USPSA,,, most defiently.. I think a major brand full size 9mm striker gun would be the way to go.. You are gonna have alot of 30 round stages.,, Just for me at least I think it would be easier and more fun to only at most do 1 reload. Have a gun that can take drop in parts if you like and will run out of the box on plain jane. factory ammo. Run the gun in Limited......................... Minor. Or add a dot and run in CO..

Jasonatlaw Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 suggestions for a gun good for smaller hands then? I always thought a glock (just for example) felt kind of chunky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonatlaw Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 I shoot a commander sized single stack and I was thinking that would be a good gun to learn on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakerjd Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I started out with a Glock 19 in A fudgecicle nobody but a few crayon chewers and winder likkers want. Quickly went to limited major. Then settled on SS for a few years. Shooting SS helped me get over the worries of where to do a reload and made me work on getting really good at doing them. It also helped me break down a stage really well. It's also super fun to shoot 9 minor in a 1911. Shooting A fudgecicle nobody but a few crayon chewers and winder likkers want is not competitive at all. And if your kids have any competitive nature as all do they will want to see their names higher up in the finish. Shooting minor in a major PF dominant division isn't going to do that.

ima45dv8 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Since this has turned into a discussion of whether to purchase a Commander-sized 9mm, it doesn't really resemble an ad anymore. I'm moving it to the 1911 section for now. If the OP still wishes one, please re-list the ad (minus verbiage about the kids, so as to not go down this wormhole again). -Admin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonatlaw Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 OK, Admin, fair point. But I've made an agreement to purchase one and am still looking for at least one more. Thanks to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
