IPSIC Gun needed

Depends on where you'd like to go with it. If you are just starting out, I'd suggest something that is Production legal. Glock, Beretta, Sig, CZ all are good choices, I shot both a Beretta and a Glock when I started out both are reliable and accurate enough for the game. The New CZ's seem pretty cool. From there, the sky is the Limit.
 
Get one like mine Para 16-40 Limited

I bought an XD40 this spring for IPSC and have been shooting it since. If you're on a budget it's a good way to start because the gun comes with a holster and double mag pouch. But...I'm kinda thinking about something like a Tangfolio now...
 
Simply put, Production is an unmodified pistol with a double action Minimum trigger pull limit(or similar) first shot, eg Glock, CZ, Beretta, Sig. (9mm or bigger but all scored minor. Standard can be any pistol modified pretty much in any way except for gas porting and optics, usually a 1911. Minimum calber to make major is .40. Both production and Standard must have holster and mag location behind the forwardmost point of the hip bone, see IPSC rules for exact specs. Open means anything goes. Comps, optics, holster anywhere.

If I may also suggest going on youtube and doing a search on "IPSC production" and "IPSC standard" and "IPSC open" gives a really good look at each.
 
Thank you PH Racing for the information.
I have been looking at a single action only tiger pull and am guessing this would mean Standard division.
Should I be looking at 40 cal. or 9mm pistol?
 
.40 rules in Standard division. IPSC has a handcapped scoring system, where 9mm is scored lower than .40 calibre unless you hit the centre of the target. At it's simplest, 9mm is not competitive in Standard, you have to slow down and shoot accurately, while .40 cal shooters can 'hose' the targets and get away with the odd shot in the C or D zones.

9mm is competitive in Production division because there is no handicapped scoring- all calibres are scored as if they are 9mm or 'minor'.
 
Glock 17.............Best starter gun, being its fair priced (650-800), Mags are cheap ( 20 - 40 $ ), Gear for it is cheap ( Fobus holster and Mag pouches and belt looking at 100$ ), reliable ( can go over 100K rounds and still work well, eats up any ammo you can throw into it minus lead ) and simple being no manual safeties. Point and shoot... Also the grip makes it easy to aim and helps recoil..

Then you are looking primarily at a 1911 design. If you are going to shoot mainly in Canada, I would recommend either a Para .40 or an STI/SVI .40.
While I like 9mm, you won't be shooting long before you'll be wishing you were scoring major, but the .40 can also be downloaded to minor to start out with.
The Hi cap frame is a no brainer, you'll want the extra two rounds it gives you over a single stack frame, plus they reload easier.
The Para packages like this one:

Or this:

Give's you most of the things you need to start out, and/or can be built into a completely top level competitive gun at a pretty reasonable price.

If on the other hand you shoot in the states and don't care about score in Canada, there is a single stack class in the USPSA and any single stack 1911 can play.
