Target shooting allows you to take out all the aggression and suppressed feeling and utilize it in a good and positive manner. If you want to really enjoy your target shooting experience then the right kind of firearm is required for full satisfaction.

There are a lot of handguns San Diego, rifles and shotguns that are suitable for the job so let's take a look at the different options we have at San Diego gun stores.

Top 5 Guns for Target Shooting

1.AR 15 Rifle

Rifles like the AR15 rifles have a powerful feel to them, they look quite damaging and scary when loaded. The round capacity of an AR 15 rifle is crazy, a whopping 30 rounds! It also offers limited recoil, maximum range and cartridges that do maximum damage in the body but are limited in the property.

Another great advantage of the AR 15 rifle is that the moving parts of this firearm are easily available and replaceable. AR 15 rifles aren't only great for target shooting but can also be used for hunting purposes and home defense.

2.Glock 19

The Glock-19 pistol is one of the best handguns San Diego which is the most reliable gun for home-defense,  self-defense and of course for target shooting as well. This is the reason why it is the most popular gun of all time. A Glock-19 is a compact, striker-fired, limited recoil semi-automatic gun that also prints less.

It is also great for beginners as it doesn't have an external hammer or manual safety. A Glock-19 pistol has a 15-round magazine which means no frequent reloads and even if in case of a reload, it's easy and efficient. I would highly recommend it as a target shooting gun!

3.Beretta 1301 Tactical California Legal

If you are a swift shooter and want nothing to come between you and your target once it's spotted then you need this gem of a gun. The gas-operated autoloader allows you to have a variety of loads without any hitch or hiccup.

These shotguns are light enough to be carried all day long under any circumstance. Beretta has been producing some amazing shotguns for decades now and the tactical series are no less.
