I was an active competitor in Free Pistol , Air Pistol, and NRA Bullseye years ago. Then life got in the way and I sold all my gear. Now I am back in the market for a free pistol and a standard pistol.
Since I have been away so long I am curious what the most popular guns are these days. I have searched and seen many if not all the offerings. What is showing up at matches most frequently?
btw - This looks like a great forum. I am looking forward to spending some time here.

Answers depend what matches you go to (this is a serious response). Since matches don't draw 100+ shooters (we're lucky to get 5) you will see an array that that shooter has chosen.
For example, where I shoot there are 2X (sometimes 3x) Pardini's, 1 Benelli, and I have a Morini CM22RF. This is SP.
In FP: 3x TOZ-35, Morini CM84 (sometimes another CM84 and sometimes another TOZ35 when others show-up). Some shoot their Pardini in FP, one has shot a Ruger (22/45?).
I would suggest browsing backwards on the topics and see what people are talking about. You would be browsing back in time (weeks, months), but, getting a good idea of what is being used. Also note we're an international (pun intented) crowd.
Welcome back, have fun.

Not too long ago a large quantity of TOZ were dumped on the US market at very reasonable prices. A lot of guys bought them thinking they could get into the game cheap.
Unfortunately, they found it just wasn't their game, so.....there are a lot of TOZ out there. You just have to find a cheap one. I don't think they are at all a handicap (I use one myself; cost $500.)
