What is a GREAT semi auto hand gun to use for completion?????? I use a XD-9 right now, but who's got suggestions?

completion or competition?

THE best I have found is the 1911 in different configurations (depending on the discipline. i.e. IDPA & USPSA, Steel, Target)

Do you also cc your XD you have now or will do so and if you like it and plan to keep it . It would be simple to buy the XD-M for match and target use. Nothing new to get use to between them except a bit more weight. You should look at class rules and deside what class you want to compete in and see what enhancements you can do down the road too.

There is an XD competition gun available out there...should research it...=)

M&P pro or glock 34/35.

Both are excellent platforms, more capacity than the 1911.


I've been running the g34 for a few years and have found no reason to change.
