Ugh. I have been going round and round and round on what to do about getting a new gun for next year's USPSA season. I currently compete in Limited Class with a minor power factor gun (can you say "stupid"??? ). I need something that can shoot Major Power Factor, and .40 seems to be the best option even though I am not really a .40 fan.
I really need to fix this, but the budget won't let me get something like a $3,000 STI DVC Limited or something similar.
I have a few options, at wildly varying price points, and I was hoping to get some opinions from the collective wisdom here on INGO. Ultimately, no one can make this decision but me, I get this, but I would love to hear some arguments for and against some of these options:
1) Add a .40 S&W conversion kit to my P226 Legion SAO. Approximate cost = $400 plus mags. (I can use my current holster and mag carriers.)

2) Get Allen M. to build me a Limited gun in .40 S&W based on the 2011 frame style. ~cost = $2,500 plug mags, holster and mag carriers.
3) CZ 75 Tactical Sport Orange (.40). ~cost = $1,800 plus mags (it comes with 3), holster and mag carriers.

4) Tanfolgio Limited Custom (.40). ~cost = $1,600 plus mags, holster and mag carriers.

5) STI Edge (.40). ~cost = $2,300 plus mags, holster and mag carriers.

I am also going to have to get .40 dies for my press so I can start loading for .40, so I need to factor some cost in there as well.
What advice might you folks give me here? I have checked for accessories for all of these guns, and they are available (mags, holsters, mag carriers, etc.), even for the Tanfoglio.
