  1. Definitely with friends when possible......   the "you know each other thing" plus the less worry that you get squadded w/ someone who isn't safe.  (Looking down the muzzle of loaded guns as RO is not exactly pleasant)  These days we end up w/ a mix of folks we know and a few we don't, but since shooters are generally good people, by the 2nd or 3rd time shooting w/ folks you will find you gravitate to them becoming part of the "usual" squad as well.  :)

    I have a 41 set up for Limited - Carver aluminum magwell, Zev aftermarket trigger with adjustable pre-travel, Ligntning Strike lightened steel striker w/4.5 lb striker spring, new sights (Dawson f/o front and Heinie black rear), several magazines with Arredondo +4 basepads that make the 141.25 mm length limit, and fit 17 rounds of 45 ACP, plus a KKM drop-in barrel. The barrel is so I can shoot coated bullets without worry of build-up in the stock barrel, plus I like KKM. I set all this up and then covid hit, so haven't actually had it to a match. That is going to bump your budget by the time you add a holster and pouches, but you might be able to get away without the KKM barrel and magwell and save the $$.

     And when you are ready to sell this set up, I want first dibs. :)        

  3. Well, FWIW, kinda dig the Canik.  Depending on your application/use for the gun, if you are just gonna "game", it's gonna be hard to beat the Canik for dollar to dollar comparison.  The Canik trigger is VERY nice out of the box and have actually seen them already w/ red dot mounted for 700 and sometimes less.  And for about 150 bucks, you can upgrade a few parts (Feedomsmith trigger, guide rod/spring) on the Canik and it's a runner.  It'll boil down to personal preference-- I started out very long ago shooting an XD in production and rented one not long ago to see how they've changed-- good gun, still would buy the Canik at it's current price point.
