Not just for hand guns anymore. The pistol caliber carbine division is one of the faster growing divisions in USPSA. Im sure IDPA will follow suite.
Yeah, but I wasn't going to muddy the waters that much...
Thanks guys. And I am mostly interested in rifle and handguns. I know there is alot of forms of this sport but alittle action paced is what I am looking for.
Sounds like USPSA or IDPA if probably what you are looking for then, although the '2-gun' matches Megawolf mentioned might be a good fit for you as well.
And as @Dirty J mentioned, USPSA also allows pistol caliber carbines now, so that might fit the 'rifle' side of things you are looking for as well.
