This is my first post so go easy please...
Great forum!!! Looking forward to getting active here very soon.
I have a new Springfield Armory Trophy Match 1911-A1 and I was hoping I could use it in CMP pistol competition. I've never been to a CMP match before or any pistol competition, but I'd like to get better at shooting this accurately. My club has a CMP group and a Bullseye group so I was hoping I could use this for both or just CMP until I get a .22 for Bullseye. I can't make heads or tails of the CMP pistol rules in the rule book in any definate manner so could someone who competes tell me if I can use this or does it have something that is not allowed in CMP and then also Bullseye? Is it a decent shooter out of the box and/or will I need to take it to a gunsmith after I get to a certain level with the out of the box condition? I see some negative comments about stainless steel and gunsmithing, so am I out of luck, long term competition wise, since this is a stainless steel pistol?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice, and hope to to eventually be very active here,
