But many prefer just the opposite, gaining better control and less fatigue with the lighter gun that balances back into the hand. The connection between you and your pistol is critical. The size and angle of the grip must be considered. An anatomical grip, whether it is factory standard or a custom replacement, will give you great control and make your gun feel more like an extension of your hand. Finish The appearance and durability of the finish is not to be overlooked.
Finishes range from a dull matte, through bright blue, to shiny stainless steel.
Price Price is the final deciding factor after weighing all of those above. The cost of replacement parts and spare magazines should also be considered in the price. It is a good idea to have an extra magazine close at hand. The reason is to have a replacement if one stops functioning during a match. Remember - loading your magazine is not allowed until the command to load is given.
