If you want to be competitive in USPSA you almost have to reload.
There is no such factory load that Goldiggie is refering to. Its his own concoction. The same can be said for most major .40 loads. Factory .40s will make major, but will recoil much more than a well sorted out reload, making shot recovery slower.
One thing that even goldiggie will probably agree with me on is that if you want no hassles, get a glock. I don't want this to devolve into a Glock vs 1911 thing. I shoot both and actually shoot my les baer 1911 better than I shoot my Glocks, but it is not as reliable.
Get this statistic. In 8 years or so of IDPA use. My Glock 34 never failed to fire, eject and chamber a fresh round, in other words, ZERO malfunctions, in over 30,000 rounds of use. During that time I almost exclusively used aluminum cased blazer. That gun ate it up.
With my 1911 I used to have some trouble with oversized reloads. So now I chamber check every competition round. Even still, i usually end up with some kind of stoppage every 500 rounds, and the gun needs to be kept clean. This is mostly because for competitive reasons I've got a softer recoil spring in the gun. Stock gun with factory ammo, its totally reliable. But its not competitive that way. I'm going in circles. Its late. I hope I made some kind of contributions. Ha.
