Hi,
I am looking for a full size handgun to dominate a local falling steel plate competition. Most competitors are IDPA/IPSA specialists, and they use 9mm or .40 and are pretty darn fast. But since there' no power factor requirement in this match, I'm thinking I could get a edge on everyone by shooting the least recoiling caliber possible. Accuracy is not a big issue; target is only about 20 yards or less away. Shooting fast is the big factor. Rimfire is declared illegal. Red dot is also illegal. Iron sight only. So 25acp would be perfect. Is there a full size steel frame 25acp with about 10 rounds capacity with crisp single action trigger and decent barrel length? If not, would a gunsmith be able to convert a 1911 22LR to a 25acp gun? My budget is $1000. I'm ready to do what it takes to dominate to competition.
