Let's post some outlandish looking race guns ITT. I'm not particularly concerned with their overall functionality or the quality of the parts used, just post some really weird looking guns. I'll start off with a few I just got from googling "race gun".
The reason, if anybody is interested, is that I just started getting into USPSA shooting. I haven't shot my first match yet but I've taken the class and watched a few of the matches, and some of those guys look like they're packing fucking alien ray guns. Having been raised in a family of hunters and only just gotten into pistol shooting in the last year or so, I've never seen this kind of stuff before and I'm wondering what else is out there.
As a side note, I'm really nervous about shooting actual matches. I could definitely be a better shot and I get performance anxiety especially with a bunch of strangers watching me. I know the rules and what will be expected of me but if anybody has any tips or anything else to put my mind at ease, it'd be much appreciated.

Are these raceguns for ants?
>>28375866
Sorry anon, I just googled and saved them.
Also wtf is that thing on the barrel in >>28375881
Some kind of recoil compensator?
>>28375838
don't worry about your time, just make your hits and don't fucking DQ yourself doing something stupid. you will learn and do a lot better working your way up than trying to game your way up and doing some stupid shit and making yourself look like an assbucket.

Am I correct in assuming that the most common way to get disqualified is your muzzle passing the firing line? The guy who taught the class I took said all the rules basically boil down to "don't scare the range officer".
>>28375920
That's the plan.
>>28375822
What type of pistol do you have?
>>28375892
Yeah its a break (brake?), keeps the muzzle from riding up,
Not really a "race gun" yet, but my STI Edge 9mm, made good friends with a small shop owner, who is a multiple world champion cowboy action shooter, and he had to meet his quota of STI sales for the end of the year so walked out the door with it for $1500
I've never been in one place long enough to join a club or anything, just get out to whatever range is closest once a month to work whatever I have on hand.
Sorry if shit spelling, think I'm 10ish beers in already

Feels good when other people post my gun.

I've been shooting a Glock 19 for the past year (it's also my carry gun) but for Christmas my dad got me a Glock 34 which I'll be using for the competitions. I've only taken it out twice but I really like it.
It's got Warren tactical series sights (plain rear, fiber optic front) and a DK custom trigger. I actually just installed those today, my first time doing any real work like that on a gun. It was a lot more fun than I thought, and it kinda makes me wanna buy more parts just so I have an excuse to take it apart again...
>>28375979
I know those feels, i'm hoping to find a pic of my 1911 that I lost.
>>28375979
I've talked to you about it on at least two occasions here. My finger was on the trigger, but I didn't trust the gunsmithing at whatever armory they might have been modified at so I went with a 941f instead. My favorite full-size semi-auto handgun to this day, perhaps only eclipsed by the SIG P210.
Your pictures are awesome, thanks again for sharing them.
>>28375979
>>28375957
Love how guns we actually use get that nice patina or whatever the fuck you want to call it.
>>28376004
Awesome man, I'd just warn against doing much to the gun until your skills are better. Too many guys throw all the fancy shit on their pistol right away to compensate for the fact they suck ass. I don't know how to say it really, but its like a 16 year old learning to drive standard in a super car. But then again you might be really experienced and I'm insulting your intelligence.
Just drank a smirnoff Ice that my sister had in the fridge, fucking disgusting.
My last one but at least it's a decent resolution.
Thanks for the input so far fellas, it's appreciated. Please keep it coming.
>>28376072
Although now that I look at it more closely I'm pretty sure that's a paintball gun...
>>28376080
>>28376045
lol both of these are
>>28376080
Go to bed.
>>28376080
more like a .58 caliber assault pistol with a double trigger, high capacity hopper, and extended pneumatic tank and rapid fire piston.
>>28376114
That is getting really close to steampunk territory
hmm..alot of the race guns in the thread has C-More sights...
>>28376465
it's like the standard race gun sight. i picked up a couple for $70 each last year from Amazon
>>28375838
Everyone at one point was in your shoes; getting into their own head.
Just shoot and do your best. I'm sure if you make mistakes someone may step forward to give you pointers...which equals a friendly face the rest of the event and future.
Regardless do your best and be there for yourself. Don't try to impress anyone. If you make a mistake then you make a mistake...learn from it and move on.
>>28375866
Cool slide...ugly everything else
thread needs alot more Tanfoglios and CZ-75 descendants.
>>28375942
Damn those sti never seize to amaze me. Only Merica gun left but damn what a fine example

>>28377398
mmmm that infinity
This is mine and it's about as plane jane as you can get. Well, not really.I think the frame is the only stock part, it just doesn't look absurd.
I don't shoot USPSA, I just got a really good deal on it. I wouldn't recommend the Trijicon RMRs for USPSA at all- they are great and super durable, but they cost more than other options and the window is small. The glass also has a blue tint to it that on certain backgrounds and targets can make it hard to resolve.
It is a great carry sight, though, if you were so inclined. It lasts essentially forever. Because mine is a 35 and 35 is chambered in 40, I occaionally get a piece of glock bulged reloaded brass that didn't get properly roll sized, and I can whack the RMR against my truck bed or whatever the fuck I want to open the slide when it sticks on that.
Also, go LED + batteries over dual illuminated. LED is waaaaaay brighter and autodarkens or brightens. Also some weird shit happens with dual illuminated models if you are shooting from a darkened or shadowed sheltered area into a bright one.
>>28375942
thank you for your cervix.
>>28377932
Thanks for the info man, I was going to get one of those for Steel Challenge Open Division. Now I'll probably just get a C-More like everyone else.
>>28376037
I love my 941f too.
I'm going to send it to WMD Guns to have it refinished and nitrided since it looks like a drunken monkey beat the slide stop out with a hammer.
Just picked up some Trijicon night sights for it too.
>>28377022
I'm saving up for a Tanfoglio Stock 3 in 10mm right now.
So sexy.
>>28378007
Those guns are so fucking sexy. I just have a normal .38 Super
>>28377977
You can definitely use an RMR. I just think for the money the CMore will be better, faster, and just more suited to that sort of thing.
Plus, a slide mounted dot dashes back and forth- one mounted on a frame mount, like a lot of the Cmores- doesn't move as much.
>>28378020
>>28378007
I had to sand down the grips because the stock ones just felt like shit. I really wish I had saved up for the hunter or stock models, I love full length dust covers.
>>28378030
Good pic, that's a nice pistol.
I have heard that sentiment from a lot of Tanfo owners. I want the big one out of the gate.
Hopefully my car and motorcycle quit fucking me in the ass financially and I can actually buy one this year.
haven't seen a decked out Pardini yet, they have compensator's, scope mounts and scopes for their GT's but I can't find a pic or one anywhere.
>>28378085
There was a vanilla one on Enos a couple months ago, shit looked cool as hell without any mods.
>>28378062
Thanks, she shoots like a fucking dream. This is 25yds on one of those little sticky targets that come with a pack of paper targets. Keep in mind this is the "Budget" model
Definitely get the upper tier Tanfoglio pistol, it's just worth it.
>>28378085
That's on my "If I win the lottery" list.
Serious Italian sexiness, but with a price tag to match.
Lifesizepotato has a good video review of the Pardini GT9 if anyone here hasn't seen it.

time to fap

>Serious Italian sexiness, but with a price tag to match.
It would be cool to try a defensive caliber Pardini, I bet that trigger is sweet as fuck. They don't even post a price on the hand crafted Inox GT's
>>28378211
It's one of those "If you have to ask..." sort of things.
I don't even like going to restaurants without prices on the menus, so there is probably no point in me trying to get a lead on a gun like that.
But, yeah I imagine carrying a Pardini as a defensive gun would be the first.
I dug into getting a price for a Korth revolver and only got disappointment, so I've learned my lesson with that.
>>28378257
>>28378211
Well, the price of >>28378187 Was $5000, and that's the 'basic' model
>>28375822
My Sphinx 3000, looks like i have to sell it..
>>28378320
>>28378187
Lifesizepotato, he has a two stage trigger and he takes out all of the first stage and basically turns it into take-up, nulling the two stageness of the trigger.
>>28378320
Was that a sarcastic "have to sell it" or do you mean that for real?
>>28378320
>>28378329
I give you three fiddy for it.
Are .38 Super 1911s still popular in that community?
>>28378341
Yes, .38 SuperComp is popular as fuck because it uses the compensator more efficiently and holds more ammo than .40
>>28378334
no i think i have to sell it
but i live in Sweden so i guess 85% of this board can't buy it.

You should race out your gun.
>>28378354
Based .38 Super.
Ausfailians can legally own 1911s thanks to glorious .38 Super.

Looks like some Fallout shit.
