IDPA firearm modifications?

[Scott Bear]

I was wondering if you are allowed to modify your pistol for IDPA or is it stock pistols only?

I was thinking of getting the Competition Kit #1 and night sights from glockparts.com

Thanks for your help.

Scott.

The rule book

Check out idpa.com for the rule book. It will guide you through all the current rules for playing IDPA.

The sights are allowed. Like the last poster I don't know what is all in the "Competition Kit#1". Provide a list and I will tell you. IF all you are doing is replacing springs and a different Glock trigger set up then the answer is yes.

Like I said post the contents of the kit.

Yep, I checked the "Beginner Handbook" or whatever it is called on the website and had all the info except what type of pistols are allowed (or maybe I just didn't look hard enough).

Kit has:

-3.5LB disconnector
-4LB trigger spring
-extended mag release
-extended slide release
-extended slide catch

All legal...the last few because of the stock extended controls on the G34/G35...Though I think the 4th and 5th might be the same thing.

Read the rule book. It spells out where the different pistols fit in the divisions.

If your Glock is a 9MM it can play in SSP and ESP. If a .40cal SSP & ESP and if it is .45acp CDP only.

If it is Glock 17 it would be most competitive in SSP I would think. One thing to remember it is the archer not the arrow. My M&P was used by Sandy W. to win High OVerall in last years Provincials, a fact I haven't foregiven the gun yet. Helped though that Sandy is a Master shooter. Clearly I am not.

Wrong, Bob! If it's .45ACP, it can play in SSP, ESP and CDP, though it will have to be downloaded to 8 rounds in CDP and it may not be as competitive in the other two.

Thanks for all your help.

I might run some more rounds through it and spend the money on ammo and practice instead of the kit.

If you can et the Glock 45 to run at a PF of 125 it would do well in the other two divisions as well. Bigger holes.
