USPSA Limited gun under $900

[kahrguy]

I need some help from some of you guys who do USPSA and IDPA. I am looking for a limited gun for under $900. It has to be in .40, other than that, I'm up for opinions!
Thanks!

That maybe a Para 16-40 with a couple of mods. Get the Ejector fixed (wider) so it does not go BANG when unloading and a trigger job to get it under 2Lbs. Add a Ghost Ring rear site and a Dawson Precision front Fiber Optic site (may require milling) to the gun. Lastly get some +4 bottoms for all of your race gun mags. If you really need it get a Schumann barrel and have it fitted and inletted .1 inch and load your 200Gr Copper Plated bullets at the 10MM depth for ease of recoil with some Universal Clays. I have one of these that is more than 13 years old and it sings...

I think the Glock 35 or 24 would meet your needs.

Thats what I would use. it sounds to me like you are an entry-level shooter, so I would go with a Glock G35 simply because it will be some time before you develop the skill level necessary to take advantage of a more expensive platform. And besides, Dave Sevigny seems to be doing pretty well with the G34/35 platform.....

if I were to go with the glock 35, would you all suggest any mods I should do. I was thinking sights, but any other would still be in my budget. I can find g35's on gunbroker for around $525, that leaves a few hundred for mods.

Or I could just save for the para p16? hmmm....I have much thinking to do!

Id start here...they do the guns for the whole Glock Shooting team. They may be able to help you out.

Don't bother with the Para right now; as I said before, you just need to get in and start throwing lead and develop your skill level. Do this for about a year, then see where you are at. I think you will find that you can be just as competitive with the G35 as you would be with the Para, and you would spend a lot less money in doing so......

When I went to Limited I looed at both guns--the G35 and the Para;

What turned it for me is simple; mags. With baseplates you're looking at $80 per mag with the Para. Glock will run ya $50 if you buy right, and you can catch a CR Speed holster on sale for around $100. Most other models run $175.

To get in under $900 you'll have to be a smart shopper, or leave some things for later (you can shoot Limited with a Fobus holster, for instance), but I'd go GLOCK, and have. Still with her several years later.

well thanks for al the advice, it looks like I will be getting the g35 and asome mags. I'll probably just change the sights to either:

Warren tactical back and fiber optic front
or
Novak sights and f/o front.

Very good choice.Also one of the CZ .40's would have been a good choice.

Not a problem...my friend has built two STI race guns, and is toying with the idea of a .40 cal Glock. We found this site.
