IDPA does not allow race guns, at least not that are obviously race guns, so I assume that STI is out by default.

It would appear you Mr. Brink are correct. I was most definitely thinking 3-gun. So I guess that is that!
Makes my decision easier :cool:
With that said, I am interested to hear more on great pistols for IDPA and 3-gun.
I only regularly shot IDPA and in that VP9 as good or better a choice than any in the IDPA division it fits. You can shoot 1911 in IDPA, but it's a different division. When I was regular IDPA I shot 1911s and then an M&P 9mm FS with APEX set up. There was no VP9 at the time, and that's what I would shoot when ever I get back to IDPA. Never had any real interest in three gun personally.
I will add the Glock 34 is my favorite Glock and I have carried one for years. But after getting the P09, the Glock 34's I have just collect dust in the safe. P09 has better trigger than my $3000 custom Hi Power from C&S and my $2000 one from Novak. It is also more accurate, look for some videos on youtube Joe L. has been shooting it to silly distance. He also now has given up his custom bulls eye 1911 and only shoots P09 or P07. Yes in bullseye and he wins matches.
I see the “what gun” question a lot and I’ve got a stock answer. Shoot what you have. Buy nothing to start except enough mags to finish a COF.
Don’t overthink the hardware, see what others are using, see what the guys who are winning are using.
Ask questions. Everyone at a match loves letting other shooters hold, dry fire and shoot their weapons.
Competition is a great community. Take your time on the decision.
And whatever you get, guess what, you WILL change at some point to something else.
Thank,you very much for the response. I think I was just getting excited about the prospect of a new gun. I am planning to run my VP9 for now and see how things go.
That said, I am interested in continuing to see what people are using for IDPA, USPSA and 3 gun on this forum.
