Open Guns are too loud.
Seems the fast, young guys shoot Production.
Not enough shooters in SS and Limited 10.
So I shoot Limited.

[G34 CORDY]

I shoot Production because I feel it teaches you the basics of reloading, stage planning and using alot more trigger control because of the stock style triggers we have to use. I enjoy the challenge and think its impressive to see someone shoot Production really well. On another note I like the look of limited because you can have more of a flow through the course not worried about alot of reloads and can concentrate on shooting. I want to get good at Production then use those skills I learned and maybe go to Limited.

Production

I love the challenge of shooting a "stock pistol" with iron sights and no huge magwell. I also like the challenge of trying to break down a stage with reload points. On some occasions when I can beat out higher classed Open & Limited guys, I have to admit it is a huge thrill.

When I switch to another division in the next year or two, I will switch over to Single Stack for the same reasons.

My how things change in less than a month! I just traded my Production pistol for a Limited pistol and will be shooting Limited in 2013. Why?? I want to go faster!

I started in Limited because my CZ Tactical Sport is really bad ass, I shoot Limited 10 because the local club's stages are short, so I want to learn how to reload.

My plan is to shoot L10 until I stop seeing improvement, then jump into something fresh to keep from getting stuck in the mud. Just last night, I was looking in my safe and said "when the hell am I going to shoot these guns?" So I listed a bunch for sale to make room for an Open gun, already have Production and Revolver, but maybe, just maybe, I'll get a single stack...

I shoot production because I only have stock glocks. I'm really getting the itch to buy an edge though.

[MattYvip]

I shoot Limited, Limited 10 and SS simply because I really like my 2011/1911s. But I'm going to start venturing into revolver and production this year. We'll see how bad I really suck when I have to reload everytime I move my feet (and/or when I miss a lot).

[TallGuy]

I shoot Limited because I really like shooting my Tac Sport, and my G35 when I'm getting ready for a 3-gun match.
I shoot SS because...well geez...its a 1911 45 ACP! Nuff said.
I shoot Production when I feel the need to practice with my carry gun.

Of course its tough to get really dialed into any one gun when you're shooting everything in the safe :0)

I shoot revolver . It's a challenge, and very rewarding. I wish more shooters would give it a try.

[craigsteffek]

I shoot open now but just got a revo to
Give it a try

[Jammer1911]

I shoot SS because I just love my 1911s. I shot L10 for a time with my 1911 and 8 rd mags too. just to get classified and get a slot to go to Nationals. I even bought a Limited gun and dabbled for a bit but found I got sloppy since I knew I had all those extra rounds to fling down range. Now I am back to SS. I have a Revo and a Production Gun just for some fun and to get a break by shooting a different platform.

I love it. My open gun is in the works.

[bobmysterious]

Open is fantastic. After I switched to a 9 Major shorty I haven't been crowded by a single RO!

I almost always shot L10 using my Kimber .45. I was lucky enough to have a best friend that taught me everything and had deep pockets so I could take my pick of pistols. But it felt weird shooting one of those space guns. I felt like I was going to break the thing and I kept looking for the "phasers on stun" setting.

But seriously, I didn't think I had sufficiently mastered the fundamentals to do an open gun justice. I figure that if you can master shooting with iron sights and strategic reloading, you will be that much better with an open gun.

[bonglee0507]

i shoot all the divisions in IPSC but my favorite is the standard division

[mike l m]

I guess between SS 45ACP or going back to an old Browning Hi-Power in 9mm is just plain fun for me. Did pick up a Glock 19 and some of the guys I shoot with, say I shoot it better then the SS or the Browning. But I'll tell you, if you have a nicely tuned SS in 45ACP or a Browning, they are hard to beat.

I'm shooting Limited because I have always thought the 2011 was the sexiest pistol and I recently had the opportunity to purchase an Edge.

[GuildSF4]

I shoot revolver . It's a challenge, and very rewarding. I wish more shooters would give it a try.

I have been mostly shooting revolver for the last few years, way fun. (especially coming when you rock a stage and beat most of the pack that are shooting limited... (rarely happens, but it is fun).)

Switched back to limited to get ready for 3Gun.

[pskys2]

This year it's .45 all the way. Revolver and Single Stack, maybe skirt the edge of sanity and go to L10. Just love to use my 2011, but ????

[Albertl35]

I shoot open to get better and move up in class, once I achieve that goal, I will shift to Limited and get better and then move up in class, then it's back to Open again...

[818-DVC]

Mostly open because I can't break down a stage or factor my reloads. I can't control my recoil, and I love the cartoon space laser gun look..

Most important, we have cookies!

[BNorth]

Limited because I can't afford an open gun yet!
