Hey Chris:
If you are looking for a IPSC gun be aware that the trigger pull can be to light (4.5 lbish) for the 5 lb minimum.
In my research I found that the IPSC rules guys got faked out by S&W on the trigger pull wieght and added it to the approved list, now IPSC puts the onus on the competitor to make the pull wieght as it should be.
Had a chance to fondle the "L" model (same gun, different trigger and sights) at a match and it seemed nice, I liked the longer sight radius.
But alas I have not found any in Canada yet.
