I will see whether the .40 S&W if owned for other shooting competitions, if it can then be used at IPSC shoots. I will have months of waiting so lots of time to work it all out. The indoor club I belong to now would only get me approval up to 9mm.

A .40 S&W combined with 9x19 sounds like another excellent idea.

One of the chief complaints IPSC competitors have in Australia is the restriction to ten shot magazines. They believe correctly it makes them uncompetitive internationally.

The stupid laws assume a "gunman on the rampage" is less dangerous with a ten shot magazine, "run, hide, he is out of ammo!" When of course a new magazine can be very quickly inserted.
