I posted this in the Handgun Forum but I fealt this may be a better forum.
I am currently at the beginner level handgunning. I have a NEOS and a 96 both of which are fantastic IMO. I want to buy a 1911because this seems to be the "gun to have" as my skills advance and I want to start shooting some competition. Im in NJ so the number of matches is limited but the I know my local club offers Bullseye, hoping they may also have steel or other competition. Can I shoot or should I look at 9mm, 40 or 45. If it doesnt matter I may lean towards the 9mm because of less recoil and cheaper ammo.
