Which sight did you go for the Glock? Mine has an adjustable but I have a hard time tuning out that white outline so wanna swap for a plain black one

It was a lot of fun and can't wait to do it again

I bring it up because it sounds like buying handguns is a pain in Australia and this would make two handguns in one.

Not sure I'd hit much but fun

There's another club a bit further away that I've heard great things about, and they shoot several disciplines. It will mean significant travel time, but I'm only looking at visiting once a month, so that's fine.
I still haven't handled any yet, but just from research and reading I'm interested in the Beretta 87 target, Beretta u22 neos and steyr l9-a1. I wouldn't mind trying a .45 though

OT: I've been looking at the SW 686 revolver, and it looks really good, I mean, comparable to the Colt Python in terms of quality and sheer craftsmanship. Does anyone here have a 686 in their possession they can talk about? Is it worth getting at some stage? Anything would be good.

Thought about dealing direct with someone like Hawkesbury river and buying in bulk?
I get cheap Topscores from my local guy and no supply issue. In Newcastle so only just up the coast from you
