When I was shooting IPSC back in the olden days, we'd let folks run thru the matches as many times, and with as many different guns, as they liked, BUT, they had to "shoot for score" the first run. The other entries were for giggles, or to try out a new gun/different type (revolver).
They had to pay a nominal fee (for targets/pasters, etc.) for each entry, but it DID allow us all to "train" with other stuff besides their "match guns".
Strangely enough, although I was shooting a "racegun" 1911, often enough I could do just as well with my LWT Commander, or BHP, or whatever had my interest at the time.
I got pretty good with a wide variety of different guns, and never felt "unarmed" no matter what I was shooting/carrying. It's a good, good feeling.
