You are were I was year ago, Already had a Browning HP and thought I was a pretty good pistol shot. 230 + classifier. I went to a M&P and payed attention to the time wasters, now shooting the SSP comfortably in Marksman and think I can classify SS next time. Really don't hit center much better just learned how to pace my self, go fast sometimes, slow down and get hits others. Most of the gun handling part is just being smooth and not wasting motion.

On the guns, I can shoot my HPower and absolutely Stock Colt 1911 OK but ergonomics with the new plastic pistols is just better. I took the Colt through the classifier not long ago, compared to the M&P really felt the disadvantage of small sights sticky mag release small mag well entrance and a safety that has to be disengaged. It can be done I classified it MM too. As much as I hate to say it those plastic pistols have there advantages. Don't plan to chop up the Colt though.

Beyond the hardware couple of things helped me, getting a timer made a huge difference, and some reference materal, Steve Anderson's dry fire book and the Collins County TX IDPA web site, they have the best classifier tips. Good coach is a considerable advantage. One session with an experenced shooter from our club got me off the ground and going right direction. He is the guy that recomended the timer Andersons book and told me to leave the antique pistols at home.
