What's your budget?
Bullseye league shooting is great fun. A lot depends on who's rules you plan on following. Same firearms mostly though.
The NRA only mentions rimfire except for their 2700 match. That's a .22, a cf(usually a .38 Special with WC's or .32 S&W Long and a .45.). Big bucks for those .32 calibre pistols. 2 grand 35 plus years ago.
There's also ISSF(Used to be called ISU. That's Olympic style shooting), shot at 25 meters. Shot it for years, myself.
Red dots usually cover too much of the target. Irons are ok if the light is good.
A 9mm will not be competitive. Pistols, sights and ammo are not target grade kit.
A .45 can be with the right sights. Adjustables being preferred. Tried it with non-adjustables and got taught a lesson by an inanimate object. snicker.
