Question about accuracy USPSA

You and your gun must be able to stay in the A zone at all distances. Other than that...you are good to go with an M&P.
Are you planning to shoot Production?

I might shoot production with my 9 pro, and might sell the performance center ported to get a glock 35 for limited.

While accuracy is important, speed is the major factor in scoring. If you're shooting all A's, you're shooting too slow.

When I made A class, I hit a no shoot but broke the perf and got credit for the A. Even having a no shoot, I scored a 76 pct.

The gun is more than good enough if you are anything less than GM. In the right GM hands it can win. If you have a PRO you can add a good barrel and upgrade the trigger. If you want to stay in production, you can simply get the Apex sear and striker block and reduce your trigger to about 4lbs or a little less. If you change the trigger then you need to look at limited. You can also get at CORE and shoot carry optics. You might want to just get the CORE slide kit for about 350 and use the same frame for both production and carry optics. If you have a .40 slide and barrel, you can use the frame for any of the above.

I have all of the above. Can use the same frame for carry optics, production, limited major. Less expensive than buying 3 different handguns.

I am no speed demon by any means ( I shoot revolvers usually 625 JM with LOTS of moon clips), USPSA rewards it greatly.
I DO however, take great pride in hearing the RO call out repeatedly, " Two Alpha, Two Alpha, All Alpha, All Steel" for the entire match.

And yes, you CAN miss fast enough to win!

PS. All of this is probably a hold over from my smallbore and High Power rifle days, where precision ruled the winners circle.
 
Minute of paper plate at 20yrds is fine for Production, as far as I'm concerned. Most M&P 9's & 40's can do much better than that.
 
Most times they are shooting at 15 yards or less, just about anything works at that distance. The really LONG shots at 20 or 25 yards are not too common. If you get really good at the short yards, you will be able to do the longer ones.
 
Thanks for the info guys. Im thinking i might run the pro with apexs sear kit. And change out my barrel and trigger and sear to all apex for the performance center model. And run limited, I know I'll be limiting myself in minor but, just wanting the experience right now. Then I'll upgrade to a 40.
