USPSA appeals to me because of their "Production Class." I am not interested in competing with a "Race Gun" because I am never going to walk around with such a sidearm, nor am I likely to use such a firearm in defense.
However, I have been issued an M9 on deployments and will likely be issued one again. So I would like to try and shoot a couple of realistic competitions shooting "Production Class" with an M9. These matches would be more interesting to me if you could compete in full kit, which would be a more realistic measure of your abilities. Anybody can fart around in "Golf Course Tactical Attire" with race guns and hit a target.

USPSA rewards speed over pure accuracy. It is a game for sure, but you would be surprised how well those folks in "Golf Course Tactical Attire" shoot production class guns with .15-.20 splits and still hit the paper and steel targets on the move.
