I just recently graduated from college and moved back home to an area where IDPA is pretty strong. I've never shot competition before, and I'm really anxious to get involved in IDPA. However, I've got a few questions...
I currently own a S&W M&P .40.
**Using a completely stock M&P .40, what IDPA division(s) would I be eligible for?
**In IDPA, is there any advantage/disadvantage to shooting a certain caliber (other than your own proficiency with a different caliber)?
I'm in the market to purchase a new handgun anyway, and I've been leaning towards a Springfield XD.
So basically, I'm looking to get away from .40 due to the snappy recoil. If I was gonna buy an XD, and wanted to shoot IDPA, would it make any difference if I got a .45ACP or a 9mm? Are they scored differently?
**Also, what division(s) is a stock XD eligible for?
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.
