Good IPSC starter that is affordable..

Seems like the cheapest but still decent 9mm's are the M&P and the Ruger SR-9. The Ruger's trigger feels terrible in stock form but there's lots of info out there on how to doctor it up to make it supposedly quite nice.
A straight and basic CZ75 wouldn't be a bad option for an all steel gun but it's a hun' or two more than these other two. And the SR9 and M&P show up pretty regularly on the EE so you can save even more if you catch the right deal.

Here's a couple other options:
Tanfoglio has recently added a "tactical rail" to the Combat and Combat Sport.
This makes the gun even more front heavy that the CZ-SP-01, and therefore 9mm is a joke to shoot out of them.
The Combat with fixed sights currently retails for $812. The Combat Sport with adjustable sights is $900. Dealers may sell for less.
They've also done the same treatment to the "L".
So add weight to a longer barrel, (requiring less powder for PF) Bomar - Style target sights and a
longer sight radius for more accurate shooting plus you can get a F/O sight for the front and you get this...
Currently selling for $980 and dealers may also sell these for less.
Please excuse the picture qualities; it's early and the Iphone was the only camera nearby.

awesome,..me like it! The L model with the front cocking serrations looks like a stock2 top end! That is the one I would get.
As yes...Production Division...from Grass roots to the biggest equipment race in IPSC...in less than 5 years.
I love how everyones thinks it's "cheap"

well,..$950- $1800 for a production gun,...compared to an STI or SVI standard or Open gun at around $2400-$7000!
, I still think production is the cheapest division. (Unless you shoot revolver with a model 10.)well,..$950- $1800 for a production gun,...compared to an STI or SVI standard or Open gun at around $2400-$7000!
Well...I only bought one Open gun

i like to shoot revolver with S&W 686
Well...I only bought one Open gun
LOL,..don't hate the player, hate the game...
I actually used my secondary stock 2 this weekend,..worked great. Henning grips are slighter wider than OEM aluminum,..so I got some weird 10 and 1 o'clock hits...but it worked well. The Henning grips look cool,..and of course that is more important than shooting well...
Well...I only bought one Open gun
Is that why you can't replace it when your only gun is jamming on you?

Lol..so the difference between hi end Production and low end open is $600...I think I'll shoot Open
Also buying one Open gun and having it good for at least 3-5 years vs. a new Production gun every year to keep pace...I think I'll shoot Open.
Of course in the end if competitors spent as much money training as the did buying new gear, we'd have a whole bunch of M's in this country...

Nah,..I have had my stock2 since mid 2007, it still has lots of life left in it. I just wanted another hence the recent purchase. If i buy another one it will be because I did not spend the money on ammo
The CZ shadow has only had minor changes since it started getting popular.

Looks like a winner. My Model "L" runs like a clock. Sean does the new version come in under 43 oz? Gun runs in IDPA ESP Division for me. I have well over 5K on the frame using 9MM and .40Cal top ends with nary a FTF of any kind.
Take Care

Hey, the more rounds you put trough a Production gun the more smooth it gets. You may want to look at CZ that MrClean has, I think he already lost count of how many rounds he put trough it.
