Which USPSA Division Does My M&P9 FS Fit Into?

I'd like to get involved in competitive USPSA shooting. I ordered a Bladetech Holster and mag pouches. They arrived a few days ago. I also bought one of their belts, but I just recently found out what an "inner / outer" belt is, so I'm now looking for one of those (this is where every points and laughs at the newb, lol). It seems like a much more practical setup. I have three 15 round mags for my M&P9 FS now and I have three more on the way from G&R Tactical.

 

My real question is about my M&P9. The pistol has a rear sight from 10-8 Performance and a front sight from Trijicon. I also replaced the trigger with APEX Tactical's Forward Set Sear and Trigger Kit.

 

Can I still shoot in the Production Division with these modifications?

 

Lastly, does anyone know where I can get a simple, BLACK, inner/outer belt? Everything I've seen online is either blue, red, neon green - even pink (??) LOL!

The replacement of the trigger (external part) is what prohibits this guns use in Production. You will have to shoot Limited or Limited 10.

 

Try Red Dot Shooting for your inner/outer belt system. Great service and free shipping over $50...

If you have the APEX FSS Trigger you can't shoot production

If its the APEX DCEAK kit that is just the internal mods then you are fine for Production

Ah - yes - if you did replace the trigger then you're out of production. Didn't know that there were APEX kits that replaced the trigger.

 

The pro 4.25 is good for production as well?

 

In stock form? Yes. Heck - my 9L which has a Burwell trigger job and Dawson sights is valid

Yep, this gun has the FSS and trigger kit. I was afraid that the trigger would disqualify me from Production Division. Oh well, looks like I get to buy a M&P45 and give major a try, lol. So, as long as I keep the S&W trigger in the 45 I'll be gtg in Production DivIision, right? A trigger job is ok, righ?

 

Thanks for the belt link too!

@OP - you have kind of rushed into this with no real understanding of the discipline and it is costing you a lot of money. I'd suggest that you read the rule book (available on-line) and use this forum as a research resource before spending any more money. You have quite a few USPSA and IDPA shooters on this forum who are more than happy to help you enter the sport with minimal cost and maximum understanding. We're here, make use of us.

 

Adios,

No point in shooting 45 in production imho. If you are getting the MP45, then put the stock trigger back in the 9 to use on production, and the ffs trigger on the 45, (or even in 40) so you can score major in limited 10.

So if i were to get a trigger with an over travel stop that would kick me from production?

 

Yes, if it is an aftermarket trigger - it's an external part. If the trigger is available from the factory on other models of that gun, it would be OK.

If you wanted to game it, you could add an internal over-travel stop that was not visible, and stay in production. Not sure if it's technically legal, but noone is going to rip your gun apart to find this modification. If it's externally visible, it's a definite bump to limited.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
