Hi all,
I am toying with the idea of getting into competition shooting, but was wondering what caliber to get and what could gun could I get around $550 that would do the job to get started and wouldn't get me laughed out of the range lol...
I dont care about ammo prices after the initial purchase of the firearm. I would like to shoot .40 or .45 if that is acceptable.
Thanks for your time/help

I would recommend that you find a gun club in your area. See what competitive disciplines they offer. Take some ear and eye protection and ask to watch what they offer. I bet they would let you do that. We do it all the time for guests. See what you might like to do before you get into equipment purchase. That said, in your price range and caliber preference a 1911 is seldom laughed at. At the gun shop that I go to there is always a used 1911 with adjustible sights for sale. I would recommend those sights for competition in that they can be adjusted to hit to point of aim with a variety of ammo.
