Hello,
I recently bought a Springfield XDM 5.25 competition pistol. I own the Mod 2 and XDs, and just a fan of Springfields.
I was wondering, should I buy everything up front I.e. Carver Mount w/optic , magazine well, threaded barrel, compensator, trigger group, etc? I would want to compete in the OPEN division.
My intention would be to learn the gun with most if not all accessories. Rather than learning as I go, after each modification. In the end I spend relatively the same amount.
It may come on as cocky showing up to a 5th meet with a modded gun only to come close to last, but perception seems like it would be easy to adjust habits when you don't need to upgrade parts. I know it's the shooter, not the gun that scores points.
If I should buy in parts, what order should I go?
