Of late, the 9mm 1911 has come to rule the ESP wars. Almost recoilless compared to
the .45 ACP ball round the platform was designed for, the 9mm 1911 can be American Handgunner
remarkably accurate. It has all the great ergonomics associated with the deathless old
.45 and one more--extremely mild recoil, which means you can hit with it faster. Scott Baseball Digest
Warren, who has won many honors in ESP including The Big One, the National
Golf Digest
Championship itself, uses a Springfield Armory 1911-A1 with sights of his own design.

There are other makes in the mix. Colt has run some 9mm 1991A1s. One of these, Most Popular Sports Articles

know it's shootable.

ESP Wide Bodies

The coming thing, though, seems to be the double-stack, high-capacity 9mm 1911.
Produced by such firms as STI and ParaOrdnance, these guns do fine with dirt-cheap
generic factory 9mm Parabellum ammo, and they allow the full 11-round capacity
authorized in ESP, as it is in Stock Service Pistol. Every now and then, you find a stage
of fire with, say, five cardboard targets needing double taps and a single steel Pepper
Popper, which can be completed without a reload if you have 11 cartridges on board.
We keep hearing about 10-shot 1911 9mm single-stack magazines, but they're like
alligators in the sewer: you hear about them, but you can never find one. The Smith
952's magazine, like the standard 9mm 1911's, holds but nine rounds. This is why most
of the winners shooting Smiths choose double-stack Performance Center models.

One of these in .40 S&W does double duty as an IPSC Limited gun. I watched a young
cop named Rob Vogel utterly dominate the Midwest Regional IDPA Championships in
2005, shooting an STI .40 in ESP, and he placed second at the Nationals a week later.
Rob tells me it's no trick to load the .40 down to the IDPA ESP power floor, and the
softer loads, of course, are more controllable.

Crossover Guns

I'm seeing a lot of folks shooting Stock Service Pistols in the Enhanced Service Pistol
division. Several things account for this. One is the full 11 rounds a double-stack 9ram
brings to the table. Another is a Glock modified with a Robar or similar grip trim goes
from Stock to Enhanced per IDPA rules. One more is the Springfield Armory XD, which
feels like a Glock when you shoot it, is categorized as a single action because of its
mechanical design. (Springfield raised hell about this, but the thing of it is, the XD is
doing surprisingly well in IDPA. You have only to watch Rob Leatham shoot one to
understand why.)

IDPA waffled on the HK P7 for years. It's now considered an ESP gun. Designed for
fighting, it is so shootable it fits in well with the light-kicking "target pistols." The
controversial old squeeze cocker is an exquisitely shootable gun.

Not So Enhanced

IDPA enhanced service pistol: single action, medium-caliber autoloaders shoot fast for IDPA | Guns Magazine | Find Articles at BNET

I'm seeing more guys shooting their Glock 34s--perhaps the dominant model in Stock
class right now--in ESP for an unusual reason. Stock Service Pistol (SSP) is the most
populous and hotly contested of the categories. ESP, by contrast, has the smallest
population of IDPA's auto pistol classes. The big fish is in a smaller pond. One shooter
told me, "I win more as an Expert in ESP than I did as a Master in SSP, shooting the
same Glock 34."

CDP rules allow no more than eight rounds per magazine, plus one in the chamber to

Stock autos are by far the most popular guns in IDPA. There are good reasons why.

If you prefer a .40, .357 SIG, or .45 and are looking more for trophies than for the
training experience, it makes sense to handload down to the SSP power floor of 125,000
(determined by multiplying bullet weight in grains by velocity in feet per second). If
your gun will run with reduced loads, the larger diameter bullet will occasionally cut the
scoring line and give you another point or two, turning a near miss into a better score.

Bear in mind a big advantage of SSP class is you're allowed to have 11 rounds in the World's Richest Women: Oprah NOT on T ...

revolver classes. If you're going for overall top score in a class like High Lawman, High
Female, or High Senior, this can save a few time-consuming reloads over the course of
a many-stage tournament. Another reason why the SSP category is so popular. Most Recent Sports Publications

A CZ or Taurus starting in double-action mode can win in SSP, and so can any quality Guns Magazine
DA auto from the HK USP to the Ruger. However, the guns spending the most time in
the overall winner's circle are Glock, Beretta and Smith & Wesson 9mms. American Handgunner

The Glock is overwhelmingly the most popular. This partly reflects the gun's huge Baseball Digest

barrel. David Sevigny has dominated IDPA with one of these for years. Many find
themselves just as well served with the 4.5"-barreled Glock 17, which has also won its Content provided in partnership with
share of IDPA matches with overall top score.

The Beretta 92 seems to be the second most popular among consistent winners,
especially in its factory Elite format or when tuned by Ernest Langdon. Ernest for many
years was the overall guy to beat in IDPA, before mothballing his Berettas and taking a
job with Smith & Wesson. David Olhassa and many others have shot their way to fame
with Langdon Berettas. Sweet triggers, soft recoil, great accuracy, and outstanding
reliability are at work for them. Personally, I've won a higher percentage of IDPA
matches with my Langdon-tuned 92G than with any other auto pistol, including my only
"down zero" match, with no shots outside the 8" center circle of the target in the entire
tournament.

The Smith & Wesson TDA 9mm, particularly the splendid Performance Center version of
the Model 5906, has won a disproportionate number of IDPA championships in the
hands of masters like Tom Yost. The PC 5906 delivers honest 1" groups at 25 yards, has
ridiculously soft recoil thanks to its all-steel construction (just barely within the IDPA
weight limit), and its 1/10" trigger reset allows very fast follow-up shots.

The SIG is also a fine 9mm, though hampered slightly by a longer trigger reset than
some others in its class. I had the good fortune recently to catch a First Master SSP out
of a state shoot where I used a box-stock P226.

Don't neglect true double-action-only autos. Mike Benedict became one of the first SSP
Masters with a police-trade Beretta 96D in .40, and World IPSC Champ Todd Jarrett has
won many an SSP National title and overall high score with his ParaOrdnance LDA in
