Masterpiece Arms DS9 (IDPA Compliant): 5000 Round Review - Is it Reliable?

2022 marked a year in which IDPA decided to adjust their rules to accommodate 5” Bul Barrel guns into the mix. Masterpiece Arms caught wind of this and they were searching to make their mark on the action pistol scene. Thus, the DS9 Hybrid IDPA was born… a dedicated gun made specifically to optimize all the rules for IDPA Carry Optics (CO) and Enhanced Service Pistol (ESP).

In the video below, I take it a step further any buy for myself as my main competition gun for 2023… but there is a story and I go over that in the video… so check it out!
