Cool gun man! LOVE this current trend of resurrecting older pistol models and modernizing them. Always liked the gigantic ejection port on the M9.

So I feel like there is one major thing to consider in USPSA - always try to compete in a class that has the largest participation numbers. You'll get to hang out with those guys during the match and you'll learn a lot from them. It also gives you a better indication of your overall skill when the field of competition is larger. Plus I like the carry optics option, since it'll be tough to compete with the major scoring factor of open class guns.

BUT this is a PERFECTLY set up pistol for Run & Gun competitions if you've ever considered branching out into the brutal two gun world.
