Bullseye shooting - Sport pistols the way to go
« on: April 11, 2004, 11:38:47 AM »
I have tried the P 210...expensive and a bit large. plus hammer hit my hand.
tried the 220 sport and really enjoyed it.
i'm not sure which model in this series would be best. i do not reload and the choices are .357, .40, 9mm and .45.
any ideas would be helpful as well as other suggestions.
thanx :lol:

Sig is not the answer to the Bullseye question.  As for a "sport pistol" whatever that is, I suppose it would work.  For bullseye you would be better off with a 1911 style gun in 45 ACP like everyone else.  The SIG will never get you anywhere in the Bullseye competition world.  There is nothing wrong with a SIG.  It is just the wrong gun for the event.

Give us some more clues as to what you really want to do with the gun and we'll be able to give you more clues as to what to purchase.

i thought that .45 was expensive to shoot. since i do not reload i was also looking for a reasonable price alternative.
i figure up to $1000 for a decent gun. i used to have a walther gsp in .32, but i stupidly sold it about 11 years ago.
i just bought a sig trailside and put a red dot on it for .22.
now i would like to shoot centerfire.
weight, bullet cost, reliability, accuracy are most important.
thanx

If you are talking IDPA and that sorta stuff the answer you will get is .38, .38 super maybe ww9X23, .45 loaded soft, 9mm. Most all those boys reload, and if you plan on competing the general answer is to roll your own.
While 9mm is cheap enough, the general consensus is to handload to make the PF you are shooting.
For 1000 you can buy a pretty nice piece in any of the calibers mentioned above in a 1911 and maybe in a used race gun such as sv.
Course thats jest tha begenning.
