So I love 9mm, and I'm looking at either a 9mm 1911 w/ 5in barrel, or (leanin toward this one) GLOCK G34. I leanin toward the Glock as it comes with adjustable sights, and I have a friend who can easily put bullets through the same hole with it. I'm considering asking him to shoot it to get a feel fore it, but just wondering if either of these sounds like a good gun for FP... Thanks

Caleb, either of those guns would get you started in Filed Pistol. Personally I'd lean toward the Glock as well.

Re: Gun picking advice
For me, Glock 34 is still the best to use as a starter for field shooting. I have already use it before and it does a very good result for me.So I love 9mm, and I'm looking at either a 9mm 1911 w/ 5in barrel, or (leanin toward this one) GLOCK G34. I leanin toward the Glock as it comes with adjustable sights, and I have a friend who can easily put bullets through the same hole with it.

Re: Gun picking advice
You should have quite a bit of fun with any Glock as a FP entry. When you decide to bear down on it someone will have a 22 Hornet and you'll love it. RP
