I've only done one idpa match with a stock p226. I'm thinking of doing more matches and building a dedicated match gun. I'm still debating as to what that means as I'll need to read rule books to determine what mods are allowed

 

Anyway post your stuff. What matches you compete in and what you did to make the gun better for your needs

Always happy to show-off my stuff, but since I am pretty much all revolvers, it wouldn't help you very much.

 

As a rule of thumb I usually use Blade-Tech holsters (kydex) and their Revolution line mag pouches (polymer - much less than the kydex variant).

 

I assume this is for the Glock you are getting - if you intend to shoot both IDPA and USPSA, get the holster without the drop/offset (not allowed in IDPA).

 

Fiber optic front sights are pretty much the norm and make things much easier if you have any eye issues.

 

Make sure that you check out all the weapon modification restrictions for both disciplines before you do any modifying. IDPA is usually the more restrictive. If you intend to shoot SSP in IDPA, you should be fine for Production in USPSA.

 

Others that shoot bottom-feeders will surely chime in. Hope to see you at the matches - I think we did meet at your one match. I believe that was at Somerset?

 

Adios,

Not really for the glock I am getting. I'm setting that up for ccw type weapon. I'll probably use that or my sig for idpa. I was thinking of something a little larger for a more modified platform. I'll need to look in the rules to see what is legal and if you can even be competitive with a 9mm with the scoring the way it is

...and if you can even be competitive with a 9mm with the scoring the way it is

Production Division in USPSA and SSP and ESP in IDPA are scored minor by default, so 9mm is the most competitive for those divisions.

Nice so maybe I look at a long slide m&p or a glock 34 that's production uspsa legal and use a 19 or my 226 for idpa

I used a 34 when I shot IDPA it's a great gun for USPSA Production, SSP and you can use it in ESP with some mods like a mag well extended mag release. I think in the last IDPA magazine I read it said more people were shooting Glock 34 than any other gun in SSP.

 

I will post a few pics of my 34 and 35 later my camera battery is dead now.

Just a note to mention that mods are not required for ESP. I shoot the same gun for SSP and ESP. The only mods are a KKM barrel and a set of Dawson sights on a Glock 35 which are both legal in either division.

You can use the Glock 34 or M&P in both USPSA and IDPA, don't need to change platforms between them.  I use a 34 for USPSA Production (pic in link Steve posted above).  If you have any questions about mods let me know.  First thing you need are better sights; I highly recommend Dawsons, but others prefer Warren.

I realized that. Was just thinking of using a g19 in idpa since it's more of a carry gun.
