    There's a whole web community (what a surprise!) devotedto Bullseye pistol, BullseyePistol.com.

    Therein you will find the rules, plus answers to questions you haven't yet thought to ask:


    There are two general flavors of pistol, the Service Pistol (few mods to the Service Pistol [M1911A1 or M9] are allowed, must look "stock" on the outside) and "Any Pistol," which has limits on sight radius for irons, permits optics, barrel length limited to 10", etc. etc.

    to clarify for you there are two types of bullseye that use a centerfire pistol nra bullseye which is more open so to speak can use optics have external gun mods etc. A totally seperate event is service pistol which has to look exactly like a usgi gun with a few exceptions specifically in the rules. the service pistol matches are governed by cmp rules. if you get a gun that meets the rules for service pistol it can be used in both but the reverse is not true. I'd go for a les baer national match hardball and it can do everything a bullseye gun needs to do. In the regular nra class I use a les baer premier II (NOT legal in service pistol) and am very satisifed with it.

    my answer is to find an old bullseye gun made by the older smiths from the 60s and 70s. Clark was my all time favorite.. love his Long slide. In good shape they will cost a bit less and be as acccurate as most any thing made today.

    Bullseye gun

    I would suggest that you go to a bullseye match and see what the participants are using. I have a Mountain Competition pistol for my Wad gun with a Caspian custom for my ball gun. I started out with a Para Ordinance 1911 that I still use the lower for my 22 Marvel Precision for my 22 gun. Any 45 that will hold a 3 to 5 inch group at 50 yards is a keeper, regardless of the brand. The only benefit I see for a longslide 1911 is for an increased sight radius if you are using iron sights. Good luck on your search. PS bring lots of money, you will need it.

    Most stock 1911's fail to meet the group requirement for bullseye pistol, unless you buy a big bucks gun like a Les Baer, MCP etc. Several guys I shoot with get decent scores with a Springfield Range Officer.
