There isn't any reason not to. There are plenty of people running the XDm, Glock 35, and M&P40s in limited.

Accurate Iron should be able to put over-travel stops inside the gun and keep it production legal. Most people that have had apex kits and guns done by gunsmiths say that a gunsmith trigger is much better then any of the apex kits. A good gunsmith should be able to give you the "Phantom 1911" like trigger job that everyone talks about and keep it production legal

Being a MD over and over and over is a huge distraction from shooting, I would hate to be the USPSA pres.

Oh and fyi a Glock 34 Tier 1 weighs less than a stock 17 with better parts and a match barrel.
There is only 1 oz difference to begin with.

The Trojan seems to be pretty popular these days. If I was going to start shooting single stack it would be at the top of my list, except I would lean towards a .40

It looks good for such a new shooter but this is where you need to improve. Your reloads are slowwwwwwwwww................... With dryfire you should eventually be able to get under 1.5 sec reload easy and constantly. Gun up at all times. Your steel shooting looks really good but the transition time from target to target on paper seems a little slow. And the last thing is when you are moving it looks like you are uncomfortable running with a gun or maybe like your not sure where you are going(forgetting stage plan?). Im not sure what's going on there but it just doesn't look natural. Last thing, Dryfire, dryfire, dryfire.

You really should post 1/2 a dozen reloads so we can see if you are repeatably making the same mistakes of if they are just a one time thing in the video.
Its also hard to tell in the video but it almost looks like you are grabbing the bottom of the mag to perform a reload. Your mags should be facing forward in the magpouch and when you grab it you should be placing your index finger on the bullet so you can guide the mag to the magwell

Bing has a link to kkm for them but when you click on it is takes you to their website and says "not found"

I would say that production would probably be more difficult then singlestack. In single stack you have the option to score minor and then you have just as many rounds in the gun as in prod. You will loose capacity but you can score major also if you choose. Singlestack reloads can be more difficult then in a production gun but you have magwells so that kind makes it even. Also generally speaking the guns in singlestack are much better then the guns in production. More accurate and better triggers. The top of the line production guns are what $1500 vs a $3000 plus custom 1911?
SS is only a tad harder than production from reload stand point. It's easier to hit a big opening that an tiny slit even with a magwell in SS.
Outside of a slight reload advantage singlestacks guns still have every advantage there is in terms of the guns being used. Unless you have a stage meltdown or a very poor stage plan, reloads should be done on the move so that kind of erases the vast majority of any reload advantage with a prod gun.

It would be nice if these would get on the production list, they look like a nice cheap backup gun for my shadow

Did the writer actually shoot it in a match or just say they could? Front sight articles are not written by nroi (except the portion about rules / rule changes) so I wouldn't count on it until it gets added to the production list.In the 2013 May/June issue of Front Sight on Pages 49-51 there is an article about the Core being used as an open gun and being legal to remove the optic and being production legal. If you read the article that gun was shot in production division. I know the Core models are not on the production approved list so my question is did the USPSA make a mistake by publishing that article or are the Core and non-Core guns considered to be the same gun?
Since the production list for smith and Wesson lists all variants of the m&p by caliber, barrel length, and pro / standard versions separately, I would ASSUME that the core versions would be listed separately. Also it took S&W roughly 2 years to get the 40 pro 5 inch guns approved because of low production numbers, I would again assume that the core models would take at least as long to get 2000 produced.
That's how I'm reading it on page 51. I realize that the article wasn't written by the nroi, but if there is a problem with it you would think someone would have caught it before they released it to the whole country to read.
"A few weeks later found me with the M&PL - sans the C-more dot sight- competing in Production Division at another match. What I really found impressive was how fast the high front and rear sights were fast to acquire."

If someone was to make an aftermarket lifter for a 930 they would kind if be missing the boat if they didn't also offer one for the rest of the popular shotguns in the sport. I would think if someone offered a whole line of aftermarket lifters at a reasonable price they probably wouldn't have any problem getting rid of them.

I don't shoot much 3gun, but of the matches I have shot all but 1 have been outlaw matches. I think one of the problems with a governing body is that unless you live in a area with a lot of 3gun, the matches are going to be local, somewhat informal matches. People see 3gun Nation and think it looks fun and their local club decides to try it. I don't think most places that have local club matches have enough matches or resources to make it worth becoming a sanctioned club. I think most clubs that are interested in anything like that would have already become a 3gun Nation club already or trying to or else they would be running USPSA/IDPA sanctioned matches already.

If you are going to use them for 3gun and SC you could put the SA trigger in one and then leave the other one DA/SA for production.

So if s&w were to sell me a stripped frame and I built it into a m&p pro myself does that make it not production legal since it didn't leave the factory as a m&p proseries? What if I built it into a .40 first and then decided to change it to a 9 later on down the road? Would that make it illegal since it was first built into a .40, or would it be illegal since it didn't leave the factory as either one. Maybe the frame was pulled of the line right before it was to be built into a .357 sig. Now what would I do with it to keep it production legal?

Maybe get some SP-01 shadow safeties. The one on my shadow are about as natural to use as the safeties on a 1911 and the guns will still be production legal.

All Glocks should shoot sub 2" groups with good ammunition from 25 yards when rested.
You have been reading to many gun magazines.
Most guns are not capable of 2" groups with any ammunition. Period!!
You may be lucky to have one that does but that is all it is. Luck.
I will also add that many guns will shoot a tight group now and then but not consistently.
Can you have a gun that will do that? Yes. But to have a stock gun do it, rarely.
How many guns and different ammo combinations where tested before two guns where found that where able to produce these kinds of results? While Glocks are accurate, your expectations might be a little high to think that anyone can repeatably go to a lgs and buy $500 guns and get those kinds of results.

I guess my pet load concerned me the most. It's 87 gr SP running just over 3200 fps.
But how many fps is it going to be running by the time it impacts the steel at 500 or 600 yards? I would guess from looking through some factory ballistic charts probably a little over 1/2 that by the time it hits the targets. I don't think I would worry about it.

Glocks are acurrate, but that might be pushing it

You could always try to find a g24 instead in you have no intensions of using it for production division. Ever........

I use washers in between inserts..
That's what I did for my m&p. Worked great

Why don't we have "2 gun" competitions?

Shotgun and pistol only matches would be great for clubs that have ranges that are to small to allow rifles.
