Re: Looking to get back into competitive pistol

I guess since it's my thread I can resurrect it to give a followup .... It's been a while, what with COVID and other issues, but I finally managed to get myself to a casual match. I had been planning on just visiting and seeing how things looked, but folks were super friendly and offered to let me p...

Re: Looking to get back into competitive pistol

Thanks for the extra info, pbrejsa. No, I don't imagine many would ever step down to the AP20 from the LP10 class of competition gun. I just am thinking the lower price makes the AP20 easier to ease back in with, as long as it's accurate enough to not hold me back for too long. Definitely strongly c...

Re: Looking to get back into competitive pistol

Because I'm senior too. The Steyr LP2 is lighter and better balanced for me. I started with LP2 15 years ago and now I appreciate its good features and advantages again. The LP2 price is only slightly lower than the price of the LP10, but the performance is definitely not. The simpler design but ev...

I hadn't heard this about the LP2 ... why do you say it's for seniors? I'm inching up on Masters age, though not quite there yet.

Re: Looking to get back into competitive pistol

Thanks for the tips, all! I'll check out Twelfth Precinct... they're on the opposite side of DC, but still reasonably close. Setting up a 10M range in your home is easy, and practicing on 5M reduced targets still builds your skills, if that is all you have. I was wondering about that, since I don't ...

Looking to get back into competitive pistol

Greetings all... I shot competitively back in the college days, but been away from the sport for ... let's just say a while. My primary event was Standard Pistol (*loved* my GSP) with a little dabbling in Rapid Fire, Free, and Air. (Also was a certified instructor in Pistol/Shotgun/Rifle years ago.)...
