The MPA DS9 Limited Optics Comp V2 (LOC-V2) is a purpose-built 9mm competition pistol engineered with direct input from top USPSA shooters to deliver the fastest, flattest performance in the Limited Optics Division. Building on the success of the original LOC, the V2 adds a stainless steel sight-block system, shortened slide, and aggressive steel grip with internal magazine-alignment technology—resulting in dramatically reduced muzzle rise, superior recoil control, and unmatched consistency on target.
Each LOC-V2 is hand built, hand lapped, tuned, and extensively tested to ensure elite reliability and accuracy straight out of the box. Its billet-machined frame is drilled and tapped for multiple thumb-rest options, while the modular optics plate system supports today’s most popular competition optics. A crisp 2.0-lb trigger, shielded ambi safety, and competition magwell complete a system engineered for winning stages and shaving time.
Crafted entirely from billet and barstock components—no MIM, cast, or forged parts—and backed by a lifetime warranty, the LOC-V2 is the ultimate 2011 platform for USPSA Limited Optics competitors seeking uncompromising speed, precision, and control.

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).

At the time of this review, I will be the 104th 5-Star review! I mean, c’mon, how often do you ever see a business with such a rock solid reputation like that? But im here to tell you guys, that its for real! James and Chris are down to earth, personable, intelligent, and professional all at the same time. I purchased a Staccato P from them, and they made the entire process super easy, and just had a great experience. Im already making a 2nd purchase! They definitely gained a loyal customer, and I will no doubt be using them for my future gun builds.
Answered my phone call and helped me get the product I needed. Product was shipped same day. I’m out of state but if I was local this guy would be my ffl no doubt.
I’ve dealt with these guys for only about three months, but I can attest to the fact that this is the hardest working crew in the business, client always comes first, shipping is immediate and they will bend backwards to assist customers… also it is amazing to have a company take such pride in what they sell, this is truly a “white glove”, premier dealer!
TAG always has top notch gear. Customer service is excelexcellent!!! My silencer orders were as smooth as to be expected and the selection is superb.
I’ve been a customer since October of last year and will continue to be, the level of service is top tier! James and Chris have been absolutely amazing and I truly believe they will top any other firearms dealers in the country, I personally have vowed my allegiance to them as my number 1 firearm supplier and if you knew me that’s saying a lot as i am very picky! All I can say is don’t hesitate and check them out!
I’ve purchased several things through Tag Firearms. They always the best products at great prices. Looking for some of that harder to find top shelf gear? Check here. Night vision/thermal? Check here. Tommy built? Check here. In need of a Stacatto 2011? They have it all! Good people and great service
My experience with TAG Firearms has been great. The customer service is Top Notch and has been On Point every time. They have been able to supply all the hard to find Q Parts and Firearms. Been dealing with Chris directly and he has been very knowledgeable, gives no rude attitude, provides fast response, and provide tracking with fast delivery. I am a repeat customer and highly recommend TAG Firearms. Keep it going TAG Firearms.
Chris at Tag Firearms has been amazing to work with. Bought a Q Honey Badger and Trash Panda through him for a great price, and he couldn't have made the process easier. I have over 20 stamps from more than a dozen dealers and I've never encountered any stores as professional, responsive, and helpful as his. He's been available 24/7 for any and all questions I've had, whether through text/phone/email or even IG, and is super knowledgable about every product they sell (believe me I asked a lot of questions). Honestly can't say enough good things about this shop, already planning my next purchases through them. Hit him up for your NFA goods, you won't regret it!!
