I've used my duty firearms in the past matches, but they are not my go to gaming guns. For my first several 3 Gun matches, I used a pump Rem. 870. I put in plenty of training time with my duty pistol, rifle and shotgun so I don't feel guilty about not using them for gaming matches. That being said, I just shot my first USPSA match with my issued pistol, an M&P45, and it felt great.
