The clerk asked me which division I planned to shoot, and I had no idea what he was talking about. If you&rsquo;ve been searching for the best IDPA pistol, you&rsquo;ve probably hit the same wall — there&rsquo;s no single answer because it depends entirely on which division you compete in. A Glock 34 dominates SSP, a 1911 in .45 ACP owns CDP, and a Glock 19 fits CCP like it was designed for it (because it literally was). The good news? Your everyday carry pistol is probably already IDPA-legal.</p>
