Need Parts advice and suggestions for IDPA Carry Optics pistol

[kmaultsby]

Hello all, I just purchased two M&P 9 2.0 pistols for IDPA and some USPSA Carry Optics division. This is what I have so far.
1. I purchased the 5-inch slide from S&W that is optic-ready.
2. Apex Flat-Faced trigger kit
3. Holosun 507 comp
I will have to test bullets, but mostly shoot 125 or 147 blue bullets between 132 to 135 power factor. Any recommendations for Holster, Guide Rods, Recoil Springs, Magwell? I know can't use magwells in USPSA carry optics, but I can in IDPA.

I recommend you find the latest Ben Stoeger video on YouTube, it's him & Joel Park. Their basic advice is not to throw parts at a gun until it's solving a problem you have with it and only once you understand the gun enough to be able to tell what it does. Different people want their guns to feel differently. You need to shoot enough until you know what that is.

I guess I should have given a little more background. I owned an M&P back when they first came out and then changed to a different platform. Now I am back to M&P. I own an M&P compact. I'm just trying to get back up to speed on who sells what for competition.
