To shoot IDPA with larger calibers you have to reload - or go broke...
My best advice to any IDPA newcomer is to get a 9mm pistol of your choice... To shoot IDPA and enjoy it (or any of the pistol games) you need to shoot frequently...
Factory ammo is expensive, with 9mm being the lowest cost of the bunch..

If you want to shoot large caliber my personal choice is 45 acp... You need to meet the power factor of 160... The heavy 45 bullet does this at low velocity resulting in a softer recoil than smaller calibers which need high velocity and thus sharp recoil to meet the power factor...... For any caliber at this power factor you need to reload to keep it affordable...
