Sorry for the probably confusing thread title, but I couldn't come up with a better short title.
I have thing for tracking down courses of fire used by various places (from the old Air Marshals qual to stuff from Gun Site) and practicing them. I'm sure a lot of us do something similar to keep it interesting at the range. However I also like to use the firearm they were intended for, so that I test myself against the standard with the gun it was written for. So for instance if I use the LAPD D platoon qual, I'll shoot it with a 1911 in .45, the old (like way old) FBI PPC qual is a S&W M15, etc.
I'm contemplating buying a new pistol in a caliber I don't normally shoot or stock, just to be able to test myself on a few of the courses of fire I have tracked down. A P229 in .357 sig specifically, so it's not like I'm trying to convince myself to buy a Lorcin or anything. I like Sigs, and carried one for quiet a while years ago (both a 226 and a 229 at various times). If it was in 9mm it'd be a no brainer (gotta love a 9mm all steel gun).
Does anyone else do anything like this? If so what guns have you picked up, just to say you can pass a particular course of fire?
