Thank you all for the responses so far. I think I found a nice place to visit and learn. I hope all the questions won't put people off? I did a few searches myself, in addition to reading the one a member so kindly provided, and found a wealth of information. I was thinking now of using he M9 9mm and buying a XD 40 nonported just so I have something different. Will the M9 be outclassed by the other weapons or can they hold their own? Will the XD 40 be too big to handle effectively? I just bought a Dillon 550, so hopefully I'll be able to crank out cheaper ammo in order to come up to speed... Thanks again for your help. It is appreciated..

Hello, I'm looking into joining a local USPSA club and am not sure what weapon I should use. I want to join the group so I can be better equiped in a stressfull situation where I have to use a weapon and to have fun while doing it. Right now I have an USMC M9 and I just ordered a CTC Laser Grip. I was thinking of getting a Springfield XD 40 SW ported. I heard that the XD is considered a non service weapon because it's technically considered a SA pistol. If I take it someone said I'll be forced into a class where people use ungodly, non stock weapons, and wouldn't stand a chance. I plan on carrying the M9 9mm or XD 40 for CC when I can wear a jacket, and perhaps using my 9x18 Makarov when the weather gets hot. Can I use any or all of these weapons? I'm not sure of all the classes so excuse my ignorance. I haven't even been to a meeting yet. I just want to have fun and become proficient at using my weapon in quick thinking environments. Thanks in advance for any help...
