MPA DS9 Limited Optics Comp – V2 (LOC-V2) Lightweight Model
This pistol configuration is designed specifically for USPSA Limited Optics Division.
On May 1st 2023, the USPSA began the Limited Optic Provisional Division. At MPA, we have created the ideal pistol configuration for Top Level Performance for shooters who want to win. That was the “OG” (Original Gun) our LOC – Limited Optics Competition Pistol. Since then, we have done some extensive testing in making that model even faster, and flatter. With that we are proud to introduce the newest edition to the MPA lineup, the LOC-V2 Lightweight Model!
Our DS Series Pistols are hand built, hand lapped, tuned and ready to perform. Whether your application is shooting 3 Gun, USPSA Comps, Law Enforcement or simply a Shooting Enthusiast, the DS Series Pistols are an outstanding option for these and other applications.
After the pistols are hand built, they go through a rigorous testing and inspection system to ensure only the highest quality products are getting to our customers.
The DS Pistols are designed to shoot flat and fast, making successful target engagement easy for all levels of shooters.
The basis of this DS Pistol is our Hybrid, but with these specific enhancements:
- Stainless Steel Sight Block & Shortened Slide for less muzzle rise – incredibly flat shooting

Ammunition/Recoil Spring Configuration For the DS9-LOC-V2:
The DS9-LOC-V2 ships with a standard ISMI 8LB Government length recoil spring. We recommend this spring weight to be used with factory loaded 115 grain, 124 grain, or 147 Grain ammunition.
If you are using 124 grain or 147 grain ammunition loaded between 130PF-135PF we recommend changing the recoil spring to a 7LB ISMI Government length with a shockbuff (EGW, or Wilson Combat).
