Springfield Armory / Competition / IDPA / IDPA Guns / BUG

Show search filters

Springfield Armory is known for their production of US Military weapons in the first half of the 20th century. They produced millions of M1A's and M14's carried by troops from WWII through Viet Nam. In our opinion, they currently produce some of the best 1911 handguns you can buy for under $1000. Their XD/XDM line of polymer striker-fired pistols represents a great buy with one of the best "out of the box" triggers on the market.

BUG

Originally BUG (Back Up Gun) was a side match only division of IDPA not formally recognized in sanctioned matches. Due to popular demand, IDPA has amended the rule book to make BUG an official division. Guns suitable for bug competition fit into one of two sub categories: Bug Semi-auto and Bug Revolver. Semi-auto BUG guns must be chamber in 380ACP or larger, have a barrel less than 3.60”, be loaded to no more than 6 rounds, and otherwise be ESP legal. The M&P Shield, Glock 42 and 26, XD Mod 2, Sig 938, and Kahr K9 are representative of BUG semi-autos. BUG revolvers must be chambered in 38spl or larger, have a barrel less than 3.0”, be loaded to no more than 6 rounds, and otherwise be revolver division legal. Smith and Wesson J-frames and Ruger SP101’s are representative of BUG revolvers.
