I’m new to uspsa and thinking about a 2011 in .40 so I can shoot limited. I would like to know what options the more experienced guys prefer on their guns. Opinions may vary wildly, but I would like to see what most here prefer and why.....looking for the things that most people agree upon. If you had to build a gun for a new guy, how would you build it to eliminate the mistakes made in building a gun with minimal experience in the sport? What is options are considered a personal preference vs an objective advantage? (I.e. full vs short dustcover, metal v poly grip, etc...) I’ve been thinking of a tri-top 5.4” SVI in .40. Metal grip, aet barrel, steel magwell, full length dust cover, etc... I may also buy a used gun and run it for a year or two to find what I like, but part of me wants to just get the SVI (or similar) from the start. Show me your gunbuilder build for recommendations. Thanks.

I recently started shooting with the local USPSA group, and I think I’m gonna commit to the sport. I plan to shoot my G17 for a while, but as I learn about the game, I think I would prefer to shoot limited division. Long story short, I’m thinking of selling off my single stack 1911’s (and a couple other guns) and put the money towards a 5.4” Infinity in .40. I’ve consolidated my handguns to 9mm glocks and single stack 1911s in .45 up to this point. I have tons of mags/holsters/reloading supplies to support each platform. My dilemma is this: I *think* I know what I’d want in a competition gun, but I may change my mind after shooting a little more. Is it a bad idea to sell a Wilson and a Baer (along with all the mags/holsters, etc...) to buy an Infinity? I don’t think I want to shoot single stack. Please let me know your opinion. The wait on the SVI is about a year, so I’d rather order sooner than later if this is what I decide to do. Thanks
