The 4 Best Handguns for Competition Shooting

By

If you have decided it is time to participate in shooting competitions, you will need handguns that are well-suited for the challenge. There might be certain features you are looking for, such as a longer slide, a lighter slide, better grips, tuned triggers, or other customizations. Finding competition-worthy guns can be challenging unless you know what to look for or which guns are competition-ready from the factory. Here are some of those guns for your consideration.

Guns

 Glock 35

The Glock 35 is built for competition with a longer slide. This gives it a longer distance between the front and rear sights, helping improve accuracy. Being a Glock, it is also perfect for modding, whether it is a slide that has accelerator cuts, a new trigger or connector, or milling for an optic. While the Glock 35 will work well for competition straight out of the box, you can improve it how you see fit to match what you need. The Glock 35 is chambered in 40 S&W, while the Glock 34 is the 9mm version. If you are already familiar with the Glock platform, such as a G17 or G19, this will be the perfect competition gun for you.

CZ Shadow 2

The CZ Shadow 2 offers many good qualities for competition. It has good weight distribution and front slide serrations for easy press-checking, a high beavertail and undercut trigger guard for a high grip, an improved trigger, and a fiber optic front sight combined with a serrated HAJO rear sight. It even has an adjustable mag release button for further customization. It is a favorite in competition already.

Walther Q5 Match

In 2019, much to the shooting world’s surprise, Walther came out with the Q5 Match, a competition-ready handgun. Purpose-built to meet the exacting demands of competition, it offers interchangeable backstraps for customization, LPA sights, ambidextrous mag and slide releases, and a ported, optics-ready receiver. While it is hard to improve on perfection, Walther also released a steel frame version, the SF, to go with the polymer Q5 Match.

SIG Sauer P320 X5 Legion

Popular in the USPSA Production Nationals circuit, the P320 X5 Legion has a tungsten-infused grip module to help manage recoil and give it good balance. There are also multiple springs included in the box to help you tune the recoil. The P320 series is already modular, and the Legion is no different. It also comes with fiber optic sights and a skeletonized trigger.

They will all help with convenience, allowing you to carry more or keep your firearms close at hand.

It’s the rare fan of firearms who doesn’t appreciate having at least one conversation piece in their collection. That can be a family heirloom, a homemade build, or a favorite shooter. However, a home-run option for a gun people will talk about is gifting your favorite gun enthusiast a high-quality but distinctive firearm. That could be an antique or vintage model, like a Dreyse M1907, or something new and unique, like the Kel Tec KSG . Give them something to talk about with one of the following distinctive gun gifts. 50 Beowulf Dreyse M1907 The Dreyse is a unique and certainly distinctive looking early automatic. Superficially, it looks quite a bit like the first ever mass-produced automatic, the FN 1900, and shares its chambering—32 ACP. However, the Dreyse features several distinct internal differences. Because this antique firearm tends to be overshadowed by the famous FN 1900, you can often find them relatively inexpensively. Despite their usually modest price, they have a reput

How to Fly with Your Firearms

Whether you are going hunting with your Beretta A300 Outlander or taking a highly specialized AR 15 to an out-of-state competition, flying with a firearm might seem complex if you have never done it before. However, there are ways you can streamline the process to make it as simple as possible. This means you will not have to arrive at the airport too much earlier than you would for a typical flight. Here are five tips you should know about packing and declaring your firearm for your next flight. Use the Right Kind of Lock First, you will need the right kind of lock. Do not use any standard, TSA-approved lock to keep your firearms safe. Instead, use a heavy-duty lock on your case. Always keep a key on your person, but do not bring extra copies in your checked luggage. Otherwise, if you use a TSA-approved lock or have copies of the key, it is entirely possible that your gun case could be empty when you grab it off the carousel at your destination. What to Do with Ammo Most often, a
