In order of my preference

IPSC
IDPA
Bullseye
Bowling Pin Shooting
NRA Action Pistol

There are more, but these are the biggies. Good luck to you.

If it's not something like Olympic free pistol, the 1911 can be apropritely built or modded for it.(Personally I shoot USPSA/IPSC and plan on branching out into IDPA and steel as soon as I can).

Whoops, forgot to mention it might be kinda hard to shoot cowboy action or ICORE with one
