Is it possible to make a 9mm Major in IDPA, IPSC, and TSA? If so, how? Thanks

IDPA does not have a major-minor classification like IPSC. I think IPSC won't allow 9MM to be loaded to Major. The reason for this is folks blowing guns up trying to make major in 9MM.

Yes you can make a 9mm major round. It is legal in USPSA since the floor for major is now 165pf. This was changed a few years ago. I shoot 9mm major out of my G17 glockenstein in open division. I would suggest searching the forums at :
http://www.brianenos.com/forums & work up a load keeping an eye out for pressure signs. I don't have my load data here at work but I have used VV N350 & am currently using Ramshot True Blue. Check out the excel spreadsheet I have uploaded as an attachment.
