competition use experience. long.

I have used the following pistols in competition:


Sig 210: best trigger pull out of the box bar none. accuracy excellent. I shot my 210 for the first time in 1979 in combat competition. Only deficit was the bottom release mag change and the safety lever. Both of these can be modified. Came in 3rd place first time I ever shot the pistol.


Colt 1911A1 shot national match and combat style shooting best safety location, and good mag change. Gun had to be rebuilt almost completely to be useful in competition.


HKP7M8 shot this in combat competition. took some training to get the best out of this pistol. Once the system was learned. I usually won in the top 3 positions.

out the box accuracy was very good, safety and trigger pull excellent out of the box.


Luger: Have shot a well used .30 cal shooter to win many steak dinners in informal accuracy shoots. The safety is impossible to work quickly one handed. I did carry one for a short period of time as it was the only pistol I had at the time. Another shooter in the club had a custom barrelled luger and shot it in National match centerfire course and did very well with it. Sights were square cut and fixed zero to the load he was using.


Astra 600: shot some national match with one when I first got started. gun was very accurate but the grip angle was verry bad and the trigger pull was worse. I fired one of these late at night and just as much fire came from the ejection port as came from the muzzle.


Browning Hi-power. The example I had was very accurate Trigger pull was poor and had to be reworked. Safety was too small and I had it welded larger. Trigger was replaced with a wide trigger. Sights two small and were replace with Smith and Wesson revolver sights.


Just my experience. David
