Its a bit more complicated than that.
It depends on what division your looking at shooting in. Stock Service Pistol doesn't allow much, but Enhanced Service Pistol allows for more than listed above.
I guess I will ask, what gun and what mods were you planning?

Just like any of the gun games you really need to look at the rules of the game you want to play so you can figure out where the rules and your interests come together.
For IDPA go to IDPA.com and download the rulebook.

was thinking of Glock 17, as for mods replace trigger kit, replace front sight to fiber optic, extended controls, magwell & mag bumpers. this is something I personally like & require on all my handguns.
So I don't know where this would put me if I was to shoot IPDA. Now I haven't been involved in handgun sports for well over 10 years now.
Brocolt, see the link above, download the rule book and check section 8.2
Permitted modifications will depend on which division you wish to compete in.
We are having a match this Saturday at the Firing Line if you want to drop in and see whats it about.
