I want to shoot in the GSSF match that will be in my area this summer. This will be my first time shooting competition since I was 18 and used to shoot metallic silhouettes with a borrowed pistol from another competitor because I was to young to get a pistol permit. We shot chickens (25 yds), pigs (50 yds), turkeys (75 yds and rams (100 yds). I'm looking for information on what type of equipment is recommended or required that I'll need or should consider getting for a GSSF match, what type of holster, mag. pouches, sights ect.
I have a G22 40 S&W full size service pistol, it has a 4.49" barrel with a 6.49" line of sight. I have a LWD 9mm conversion barrel for it. It shoots pretty well with the factory 40 S&W barrel. However, I can shoot quite a bit faster as well as more accurate with the 9mm barrel in it. Since the class(es) I'm going to shoot in has to be with a stock Glock. I'm seriously considering buying a G34 9mm full size long slide & barrel. It has a 5.32" barrel with a 7.56" line of sight, a little lighter trigger pull and adjustable sights. The height, width and weight are the same on both pistols. I think I'll be able to shoot better with the longer pistol in the smaller cartridge.
Any thoughts and/or ideas? Is a longer slide/barrel setup generally advantageous for this type of shooting? My G22 is my concealed carry pistol along with my G27. I'd like a dedicated target/match type pistol. Does the G34 9mm sound like I'm on the right track?
Thanks, NYH1.
