[QUOTE="Mad Professor, post: 3400713, member: 5316"] There is a bit of everything being used. But, I would say a 1911 in .45 ACP is the most popular. I successfully used a M&P in .40 and .45 until I bought the TSO and started using it last year. There are several Glocks. A 1911 in .38 Super. A few XDs, I know one was a .40 who went to an elimination final. An occasional revolver will show up, but I don’t consider them competitive. But, yes 1911 and .45 is pretty much the most commonly used. A heavy .45 bullet works best. Hollow points work very well, flat nose soft point next, then lead. FMJ will work, but the others grab the pin better. There are 2 pistol divisions. Pistol The original pistol limited to iron sights and no porting or compensators. 8 rounds per magazine. Limited to traditional pistol calibers. No braces or stocks. No .30 carbine or .223, as these are not pistol calibers. You cannot “Barney” load an extra round at the start to exceed 8. Bring as many magazines as you want. It is very rare for someone to go past 2 reloads. It is not that uncommon to see the pins cleared in one magazine. I had to reload yesterday most times in Pistol. Open Pretty much USPSA rules. About anything goes, still pistol calibers. Optics, Compensators, ported barrels, etc. no braces or stocks. Magazine length limited to 170mm. Many run the same gun in both. I do and have made it to the finals a couple of times. PCC was built under USPSA rules also. Same calibers as above. Comps and optics allowed. We see lots of ARs in 9, 40, and 45. Even one in .38 super now. There quite the mix being used. High points in 45, CZ Scorpion, Berreta CX4, Ruger PCC, MPX, Kriss Vectors, and even some lever action carbines. I’ve been using an AR in .40 and another in .45. But I’ve used one in 9 and also a MPX. Magazine capacity is unlimited, but I don’t load more than 15-18 rounds. My hits were spot on yesterday and I only fired 5 round each matchup. It is more common for me to use 7-8 rounds per match. There are not any classes for different skill levels. The brackets in each division are randomly generated by computer. It is double elimination so if you get bounced from the main bracket the first round, you still get to shoot in the elimination bracket with a chance to come back to the finals. Good info there. The divisions have changed since then. That was the last of the rifle division. PCC was added shortly after that. And Open was added last year. You need to come play next month. “Theoretically” at 15 yards, the 4.75” wide pins are the same size as 8” steel at 25 yards. [/QUOTE]
