I am interested in getting into the shooting sport, and was thinking about purchasing a Springfield XDm in 9mm as my first non-revolver pistol, and also my competition production gun.
My main question was if I am shooting production division, what can I legally do/ is suggested to do to my pistol as far as aftermarket additions. As far as triggers go, are trigger kits legal, or what would you suggest I do to my trigger, just take it in and get a gunsmith to polish up the internals? Also any suggestions or other recommendations for gear to get started in this sport. Thanks |
| For IDPA, get something simple with a lot of available parts, like a Glock 9mm (19, 17, or 34 if you can find one)! Each of these will have you in SSP, but make sure you don't buy a 19C or 17C as these are not IDPA legal. Get a good holster package like the G Code Kydex (http://www.gunnersalley.com/product/GCODEDOUBLECOMBO/GCODE_Kydex_HolsterDouble_Mag_Carrier_Package.html) and you are all set. Then spend the rest of your money on ammo and training. Once you get a few matches under your belt, you will be better able to determine what mods or different guns might suit you best. |

Even in USPSA, lots of folks are running M+Ps. Spare parts are much more available than for XDs, trigger jobs are pretty easy to do, bore axis is lower and follow up shots are easier.
As far as Production rules, here you go. Gringop |
