[IDPA or USPSA]

I've been shooting IDPA sporadically over the past couple years. Sounds like I need to give USPSA a try.

[from 2011 to glock 34 or 35?]

I agree that the grip angle is just a matter of training and getting a little muscle memory working. The triggers will never be the same, but the Glock is workable for competition, otherwise they wouldn't be used as much as they are. I shoot a M&P9 Pro 5", which many people argue has one of the worst triggers(in stock form anyway). I can definitely feel the grittiness and some of its shortcomings while dryfiring, but to be honest, whenever I shoot it in a match, I never notice those things and it works great. I also have a Glock 34, which has a much better stock trigger then the M&P, that I shoot well too despite their differences. I think that as long as you practice with what you plan on using and realize the limitations of each platform, you should be good. To me, the 2011 vs G34 comparison is really an apple vs orange kind of comparison.

[Dead trigger in M&P Pro]

Will the newer style sear block fit in a gun that originally had the older style in it?

[GLOCK 41-practical .45ACP and GLOCK-42 .380]

Notice how they skipped G40 so far. I'm hoping they are also going to release a single stack 9mm as the G40 and announce it at Shot Show as a big surprise.

[Opinions appreciated:]

Another vote for the Versamax. By the time you spend the money on the Stoeger to get it ready, I think you are getting close enough in price to the versamax to make the Versamax the better deal in the long run. I think if you decided to sell in the future, the versamax would probably have better resell value also.

[Primary Arms 1-6 Scope]

For those that may have used both, would you recommend one of these or a Tac30 for a 3Gun newbie? I am trying to get all my equipment and such with plans to venture into 3Gun competitions this year. I want to add an optic for sure. I've been thinking and planning for a Tac30, but I intermittently see and think about one of the Primary Arms ones too. I've got a couple of their micro dot sights and they have been flawless. PA's customer service has always been top notch and Marshall is always quick to respond if you have questions. My biggest concern is reports I've read about the PA not really having daytime visible illumination, but not sure if i should really worry about that or not.

[Another newbie!]

Thanks guys.
