I have been zeroing in on a gun for a while now. I've tested all sorts of guns at the the local range I joined. I am going to start with one gun for multiple purposes (likely not CC, so size is not an issue) including trying out the Action Pistol cometition at the local range. I find that I like shooting 9mm the best and had decided to make a purchase with the guns I was focusing in on as follow, all in 9mm:
Beretta or Stoeger Cougar
Beretta 92FS
Beretta PX4 Storm
CZ 75B D
CZ SP-01 Phantom
I love the PX4 that I have tried and while I have not tried the Cougar, I understand it is basically the same as the PX4, but is an all metal gun, which I like the idea of since I won't be trying to carry.
Talking to a buddy yesterday who has shot Action Pistol, he said 9mm does not really have enough power for certain parts of the competion, like knocking bowling pins off the table, taking 3 shots often versus 1 or 2 for a 40 or 45. So do you guys agree?
I don't really like shooting 40's and for a 45 I figured at some point I would like a 1911, but they are more costly. So the main questions, can I get away with a 9mm or should I go for a 40 or 45? And if the larger calibers, what guns work best? I really do not like Glocks, so that is the only gun I will exclude, so please don't bother recommending those. I was trying to stay in the $500 range, so I think that excludes most decent 1911's.
I saw a Ruger P345, but have not held or fired one. It is is however a 45 in the price range.
Thanks for your help guys!
