Today I picked up my new heavily customized pistol specifically designed for Limited Division competition in USPSA practical pistol matches.

The gun is built from STI components, and was then customized by Brazos Custom of Texas:

I bought it from a local USPSA Grand Master (top 1% of our sport) who also customizes guns. He took the above and improved it by porting the top (to lighten the slide), a BarSto match barrel, shortening to further lighten it, grinding out the mag well so it is smooth and fast, putting on a custom gritty grip, and also working on the feed ramp and other internal parts to make the gun smoother, more reliable, faster, and more safe.  He also set the trigger at 2 pounds. This is the end result (click on the images to see them larger):

To complete my competition setup I got a CR-Speed competition rig:

I’ll set it up and get an orientation on the weapon this weekend from the the fellow who built it. 

And the week following… I hope to use it with much success in my first USPSA match in 2 months

Wish me luck!
