any suggestions?

What exactly is heavy metal competition.
>>29549933
Makarov. It has shot more people in back of head than guns have shot people.
>>29549939
You try to shoot the remaining members of Pantera at a concert.
>>29549964
I try and shoot Vince Neil. That fucker got fat and he would be an easy target.
What is "heavy metal" comp shooting?
>>29549939
everyone grows their hair out and screams in guttural verses while someone plays guitar and drums.
...actually it's a normal 2 gun match but you're forced to use heavier cartridges like .308
>>29549939
>>29549972
semi-auto .308, .45acp pistol, and a 12ga pump.
pistols are limited, I think like single stack only or something. IDK, I usually just see 1911's. so I don't really know what's all out there for use.

>Shoot vince neil

Sounds prettu good

Makarov single stack. Makarov accurate. Makarov make prissy race queens look bad.
>>29549962
You have good taste, sir.
Crackers is my favorite.

>>29549962
can't use Makarov. caliber is to small for class.
>>29549985
>>29550005
what manufacturer produce weapons that can fill all these categories?
>beretta bm59
>beretta 8000
>beretta 12ga pump
>>29550090
It's almost too much but not quite once you cowboy up. Now this .40 here is a bit too much. It fits in my pants, just not under my shirt. Really need to sell it.

Fudd not know metric. Tell them Russian 1911 Pretty much truth. Only difference is actual safety and no queermo grip squeeze. Also 25 cents a round.

First of all that would be a shitty lie

Second, if he told them that they would automatically think Tokarev.
Anyway

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo........
I'm not limited to a 1911?
>>29550941
No but you will have to look into those mag measurements.idk how long the P227 14rd mag is or the FN. Glock and XD are 13 and probably save, most of your other double stacks are gonna be 10 rounds.
>>29550941
Glock 30 or whatever is fits and comes in mos is looking nice.
>>29551116
most factory fullsize magazines are well within those limits.
141.25mm = 5.56"
171.25mm = 6.74"
from what i've been reading, the guys who actually allow double stack .45's only allow you to load 10rnds if the magazine capacity is greater than 10.

I'm not that big of a fan of Glocks. I've owned both a 21SF and a Gen4 20. I didn't really care for them. they were great guns, used them for a back up when I went hunting or hiking. they.....just didn't feel right to me. I'd buy another one, but it wouldn't be my first choice by any means.
been kinda looking at the P320, beretta PX4, or a beretta/stoeger m8045/couger.

>Heavy Metal competition shooting
Shooting heavy metals, shooting at heavy metals, or shooting while listening to heavy metal?
>>29551505
I'm not hot on glocks so I know the feel. The price is just nice. The FNs are nicer, but the price isn't.
>>29551747
I felt like the FNX45 was like holding a hand cannon. freakin big in the hand.
on a side note. when I owned my G21 and G20 I use to pick up my buddies g17 and just do the whole"ahhhh, it so cute!" thing because it felt like a toy when compared to the large frame glocks.
>>29551505
I figured it would be close but that P227 mag looked gigantic, even with the extendo grips on the elite. I would say I would stick with a 1911 for obvious reasons but double stack practically comes with a free jet funnel
>>29549985
I wasn't thinking clearly for a second, and just saw the pistol in the OP photo, and then "use heavier cartridges like .308" and immediately envisioned a shooting competition with .308 handguns.
>>29552079
Nothing wrong with that
>>29552079
I just envisioned somebody doing that with a PTR91PDW or a sig 716 pistol, lol
>>29552011
overall height of a sig p227 is 5.5". take off at least half an inch and that would roughly be the mag height. still within the 5.56" mag height limit.
