Get good mags I've got the loaded 9mm as well using Dawson mags. As for the trigger if you are going to make adjustments have a smith do a trigger job. A competent smith doing a 1911 trigger can't be beat.

It varies most the clubs in my area are all electronic scoring, sometimes scores are posted before you get home from the match. But I've seen scores posted within the following week, remember the time it takes to get scores posted is someone giving of their time to make the match run.

I had an issue with mine catching hanging up on the magazine release lock it was catching on the tabs that slide in and out of the mag release button. I polished the tabs on the lock and it works great now.

In my area brass gets picked up as part of stage reset and given back to shooter. I always drop my brass bag near the shooting area when ive walk and checked targets after finishing shooting someone usually hands it to me with brass and magazines inside. Most of the ranges in the area have fairly hard ground or sand with no grass its a trip hazard if brass isn't picked up.

I would just shoot it a little more until its broke in a little more and see if your problem fixes itself, my first time with my loaded 9mm three weeks ago had the same concern 3-4 times, last time out only once. Im shooting it tomorrow and ill see how it goes. All mine are 147gn-rn my reloads.

I guess it kinda depends what that gun will be used for, if you are keeping it stock or are you going to make it your own. I usually wont leave it stock and know that when buying, im putting in the trigger I like,front sight I like,magwell and grips I like, mag.release ect. If those Items are not on the gun and will be changed anyway in my mind spend less on the actual gun cost and put that money to the items to make it how I like. That is my perspective. I have a Springfield Loaded 9mm

That's awesome.

Dawson 1911 9mm Mags.
-
Jcj81, have you had them apart yet? Just wondering if they have the long metal spacer in the inside back of the mag to keep the 9mm bullet forward.
No, I could take them apart tomorrow and post up some pictures.

I just got 6 Dawson 10rd 9mm mags this week have not had a chance to shoot with them yet but they seem nice and I really like the Dawson base pads. I had 10rd mags that I borrowed from a friend until I got mine, one thing I noticed is the Dawson mag do not touch the ejector the ones I borrowed would touch if you pushed up on a seated mag not sure what brand those were but I think the Dawson base pads are what make the difference in not touching.

Figures,I just picked up the Springfield Loaded Target 9mm today. But I'll be happy with it I guess.
-
I say look into getting lasik best thing I've ever done. Total worth the money and it pays for itself no more glasses or contacts to buy.
-
I think your only option is to get a 1911 .45 shoot major not really that hard to load a 230gn to major. Then get set up for SS, then buy some 10rd. mags. and shoot L10 just use the same gear for both games and have fun. 2011's as already stated is not going to be cheap. I've never shot L10 but I've seen plenty of people shoot a 1911 .45 and have fun. A 1911 in 9mm would be fun as well but you will only be able to shoot minor but in SS it bumps mag rounds up to 10rds.

To the OP question about table start for IDPA, I read it as a SA gun safeties must be on no matter what.
http://www.uspsa.org/uspsa-rules.php USPSA rule LINK
http://www.idpa.com/compete/rules IDPA rule LINK
IDPA
2.8. All CoFs will be started with the pistol holstered, safeties engaged as required by different divisions, and hands clear of equipment including the concealment garment unless other positions for the pistol are stipulated in the CoF description, (table top, drawer, pack, purse, in the firing hand, etc.)
IDPA
8.2.3.1.6.1. Firearms designed for cocked and locked carry will start cocked and locked (hammer cocked, safety engaged).

Hello, if you have not seen the local website ecouspsa.com yet here is a link for the area shooting schedule.

Give it time its a 200k gun recall I'd wait before you send it in until the rush dies down a little.
-
Most seem to shoot 124's or 147's Ive used both, I seem to like 124's just a personal preference. Ive never shot anything over 147's

The Dawson's stick just below the magwell at the rear and fit in the "box" ive never been to a large match to test, but a guy I shoot with has the same base plates and has been to single stack nationals and passed without an issue. Ive never had stock base plates on my mags with the TGO.
-
I have the TGO on my springer .45acp I like it. Also all my mags have the Dawson base pads on 8rd wilsons I'll try and see if I can get a few pictures this weekend.

dardick model 1500

It should have been a range failure and a reshoot the popper was an activation device which I would deem did not work properly. Even though it did activate I would assume to much tension and stopped the fall.

Shooting Friday "production" should be fun cant wait
. -
Went and shot local Steel challenge on Saturday 5/5/12. One word to describe my performance "humbling" haven't shot a Steel Challenge since last October, my time was 30 seconds worst than my last match. I like to use steel challenge as a way to practice my draw and accuracy for USPSA. I don't get out to just practice very much if I'm lucky once a month and match's 2-3 a month right now. I think I'm having ammo issues I'm reloading plated and seems to spread out at further distances took some new reloads that are FMJ and used for two stages at the end and seemed to have better results. Need to go out and verify my concern with my reloads
. Not going to be able to shoot any match's next weekend due to work hopefully be able to get out to practice before the Rocky Mountain 300 shooting Friday the 18th should be a fun match hopefully the weather holds out.Need to check reloads before Rocky Mountain 300 match and make changes if needed.

I've got the 4.5 and 5.25 in 9mm both good guns and a good amount of aftermarket upgrades available, not as many as glock but its not a glock. Look at Canyon Creek Customs,Springer Precision, Powder River Precision, and Springfield for upgrade stuff.
