In the latest issue of American Handgunner, Dave Anderson's "Winning Edge" column discusses some interesting aspects of Dave's unprecedented win of the USPSA Limited division with a Glock 35.
What makes this so interesting is that this division has been dominated by 1911s and it has been assumed that DA type guns can't compete with the 1911s SA trigger. Now, the $2000 - $3000 highly customized 1911s have been beat by a lightly modified Glock 35 - well, in the hands of Dave Sevigny.
This may be an interesting situation to watch. This is the second time a non-SA gun has beaten SA guns. The first was Ernst Langdon one or two years back when he beat Rob Leatham, et al with a lightly modified Sig 220 ST with a DA/SA trigger.
I'm not knocking or praising guns here; I just found it interesting and am wondering if new shooting trends are emerging. Be interesting to watch.
