will fowler Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Have nothing right now to shoot. Looking for production class to start out on. I had a XD 357 and loved it but I here GLocks are better for this sport. Any help? I will probably get a 9mm for the cost of ammo. Maybe a 40. The 357 is just to high to shoot as much as I need to to get good at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirpy Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Plenty of XD's out there in USPSA Production and IDPA Stock Service. Unless you reload, shooting .357 Sig can be a bear cost wise. Find a range where you can rent different models to try. Check out the S&W MP which seems to be getting a bigger following. CZ are gaining too. Some swear by Glocks and some swear at them. Whatever works for you. FWIW Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Will, I have a G17 you are welcome to try. If you like it, you'll probably like the G34 even better. I dont' have much scheduled today, so if you think you can make it to the Winchester gallery, I take the Glock to work with me. Let me know.

recovering19A Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 +1 for checking out the M&P. I carry one at work five nights a week and shoot it at local matches. The most important thing is what you feel most comfortable shooting. Try before you buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 If you're going to shoot Production Division and not reload, 9mm is definitely the way to go. There's nothing wrong with an XD...plenty of them are being used in competition. Glock is the most popular and the M&Ps seem to be second in popularity right now. There are also CZ-75s/SP-01s and a few Sigs, Berettas, etc out there. Whatever feels good in your hand, so long as it's dead reliable and reasonably accurately, is the way to go.

DWFAN Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Any of the 4 choices mentioned would be good. Glock, EX, M&P, CZ. the XD is not allowed in SSP for IDPA because its considered Single action. Dont quite remember the who's, whats and whys, but its an ESP gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calishootr Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 out here on the west/err left coast the Glock rules the roost with a smattering of XD's and smith an wesson's following behind, for no mess or fuss, the 9mm would be a lot easier on you than your .357 sig rounds you shot before, and wont be as painfull in the wallet either...
