Service Vs Target
OK all the really sharp people out there jump on in this is an opinion question to some extent :big grin: A service handgun is what :?: A target handgun is what :?: Lets take a revolver with say a six inch barrel, adjustable sights, that has had the trigger fine tuned and over-sized / target grips added :arrow: what would you call it :?: how about a US-GI 45 auto nothing done but a trigger job :arrow: what would you call that one? WHY? Couldn't my S&W 686 that fits me like a glove with a 6" barrel and a extra fine trigger job be my service gun :?: It would be fine for any duty I can think of :!:

Various handguns can serve either purpose. I have used a 586 for PPC competition. If I were to use it for serious work, I would not want a super light single action trigger. I shoot a lot of different 1911s. Any I carry for protection has at least a 4# trigger.

This is one I consider target This one service

I call about any gun modified to a point that it is not carry-able anymore a target gun. Dustin
