Depending on whether you are shooting PPC or IDPA, a race gun is a gun modified for speed, both in shooting and reloading:

low oz/adjustable travel triggers/sears, throated magwells, peened rails, lightweight hammers, special barrels, compensators, optics..yadayadayada..

the guns are matched to the loads, the load has to carry a heavy enough bullet at a high enough speed to produce enough recoil to be classified as legal in the catagory you are shooting, otherwise you'd have guys shooting walloping 357 or 45 rounds shooting against guys with wimped out barely-squib loads with no recoil.

This is a race gun (revolver).

I like that sharpshooter show that features alot of this kind of thing. I doubt I could ever do it, but it would be fun to try!
