I'm trying to understand the different classifications for semi-auto pistols.

Stock Service Pistol - 9mm+ DA or DAO

Enhanced Service Pistol - ??? Not sure how this is different from SSP except they allow SA and have physical size/weight limits?

Custom Defensive Pistol - .45 acp only, more options for 'upgrades'.

Seems to me that a .45acp un-modified pistol would allow the most flexibility?

My wife is interested in getting involved too, probably in the revolver class. What kind of turnout do you see in that class?
