Gentlemen,
Need opinions for a 3-gun / camping gun. Full size or compact? Comments and suggestions, please.

I've owned both in .45. In my opinion, the size difference wasnt so dramatic that I wanted to lose 4 rounds. If the full size isnt too big for your hand, I think the full size is the better choice.

For 3-gun I'd say fullsize.
IIRC the mag capacity for the USPc in .45 is 8 rounds. In a 3-gun match chances are you won't be able to go 8+1. The fullsize will give you 12 rounds and a longer sight radius. Less reloading and can aid in making you a better shot. I carry my USP tac in .40 when I go camping and don't find the size difficult. I use the same gun for 3-gun as well. |

I wouldn't wish to shoot 3 Gun with a Compact, IMO. Nor would I wish to CCL the fullsize. In arfcom tradition, you must get BOTH!
