FWIW I shot an IDPA match this weekend with it.
Non sanctioned club match anyway. The "gun" ran flawless, I didn't. trying to be too gentle short seated the extended mags 3 times (trying to be careful not to over insert them)
Can't say how I did really because they screwed up the scoring. I got a no shoot on a far-ish target and was given an almost 40 second penalty. lmao I did it for trigger time, so I didn't bother having them straighten the scores out. 
All and all I was real happy with how went. The "gun" wasn't what stopped me from finishing higher, just the fact that two of my mags held half as many rounds as everyone else in CDP.
