I have read that the M&P full size 4.25" barrel can fit in the IDPA CCP box. The main issue would be the height dimension, which is limited to 5.375" for the box. S&W specs the M&P full at 5.5" height. Obviously since it is smaller than the other specs like length I imagine it could tilt a little bit to fit, but I'm not sure. Has anyone tried fitting it in a CCP box? I also read that people have used 10 round magazines and shaved down the baseplates to make it fit (I don't have any 10 round mags but I assume they are used because the bottom of the full sized's 10 round mags doesn't actually touch the mag spring and can be shaved without consequence). Would shaving down the takedown tool's base also be necessary? Sorry, I suck and can't hack it in SSP so I need to shoot a full sized gun in the mouse gun division . Just don't want to get a FTDR or w/e if I shot the gun in the wrong division.

I'm curious what setup you are using or have seen for CCP using the Sig P320? I've heard some people mention they are running a Full size frame with a compact slide and trimming the frame but I'm curious on magwell choices and any other mods that you've benefit from on this platform?

Due to Norco, CA matches still being shutdown, no USPSA matches are around this weekend. I figured I'd try to shoot IDPA this coming Saturday. I will be using an HK VP9 with my OWB CCW holster, and have a couple of standard belt mag holders and a vest, so should be good to go from an equipment standpoint. With a 4.09" barrel I can shoot either CCP or SSP. I am leaning towards CCP. I gather I would be fine with the 25 rounds allowed seeing that most a stage will have is 18 rounds. Any other opinions? My match tactics, feel free to give additional pointers please. -- I will not try to practice a new skill set (reload with retention) as I am doing this to just have a bit of weekend live fire (my range day is Wednesdays) so intend to do "emergency reloads" only. -- I will take the extra tenth of a second or so on targets when I feel necessary, so I don't have points/seconds down. -- I will refrain from air gunning the stage prior to shooting it ( will have to think hard on this one to not do it out of habit ). Will be interesting to see how I place. Anything else?

So, I've taken the calipers to my M&P compact. In the latest revision they bumped the weight up to 26 oz w/ an unloaded mag, my m&p compact weighs 24.75 oz. It's really close on the other dimensions. It's almost exactly 6.5" long (6.5" max). It's about 4.3" tall with the non-pinky extension magazines (4.5" max). With the large grip insert, it's questionable on width, but since the grip insert is kind of spongy I can get a 1.35" reading if I depress the rubber grip a little bit with calipers at it's very widest point, otherwise it's about 1.38" (the limit being 1.375"). Width becomes well within limits if you go to the medium or smaller grip insert. Barrel length is also close but mine measures 3.4" from the back of the chamber to the muzzle. You don't have to include the feed ramp in that measurement do you? I was wondering if anyone else had looked into this or if there has been any kind of ruling, since it is so close every dimension except height. I'm on the fence about whether to shoot it in CCP w/ pinky extensions or BUG w/o anyway. Thanks.
