Exactly, I have my Springfield Armory 1911A1 .45 for that.

I have considered it but I think I would like to have a stand a lone .22 that I can grab whenever the mood hits me and not have to go through a conversion. The conversion would be nice for the sake of muscle memory though.

A lot has to be considered here
for competition I have a Dan Wesson 7 shot revolver with a 8 inch barrel open sights, that I shoot from the 25 and 50 yard marks for target competition and for fun I have a Ruger Mark III and an old S&W that I bought just cause it feels good in the hand.
Make sure it fits you and a gun is all personnel preference. I have a fiend that I shoot with that bought a Kimber custom comp gun $$$$$ and it looks cool he shot it like sh** and even sent it back to the gun smith because he thought the gun was bad. Wrong it looked cool but his fingers were to long to hold the gun right. Moral of the story he sold the Kimber and now shots a ruger and scores back in the mid to high 90's for competition. A good gun smith or dealer should be able to help you out. good luck on the purchase
