Yes, those are the classes. I'm a long ways away from getting into a match worthy 1911. However, I at least have something to get my feet wet- so to speak- with centerfire, my .38-44. I have no real asperations to getting to a state level any time soon, but I DO want to at least make a good showing with a revolver. I know- the wheelgun is considered about as dead as using iron sights. However, myself and two other guys are adamant about sticking with irons and a more traditional approach. Guess that's the same reasoning why I still bird hunt with a 1930's 16ga sxs, and rifle hunt with a 1946 .30-06. Now, if I could lay my hands on a pre 1957 or so .32 in top but shootable condition (in my budget)- I would certainly be all kinds of giggly!
