CrankyCrash Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I had my Glock 34 customized by Dale Hunnicutt of GripReductions.com, it is now a permanently legal IDPA ESP gun. Here's what I had him do: See picture 1. Add competition beaver tail 2. Customized grip reduction 3. Added permanent magwell funnel Does the modifications mentioned above eliminate me from using this as a Production gun is USPSA? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 beavertail and magwell are production ILLegal. i actually believer the grip modification is too. got a sweet Limited Minor gun tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro2AInPA Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 That gun is no longer Production legal, sorry. All three things you mention make it illegal, actually. You can either shoot limited minor power factor or get a G35 slide and shoot limited major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrankyCrash Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'm probably gonna run it in Limited Minor as all I need to do is buy some magazine extensions. I already have a setup to reload 9mm and have a few top notch loads. I'm assuming I could also run it in Limited 10, without buying anything I guess. Thanks for the quick replies from everyone.

Thanks for the quick replies from everyone. if you're set up to laod 9 already and know of some nice shootig loads go for it. and yes, it would be just fine for LTD-10 as well, just download all the magazines to only 10 rounds and have fun.

Yep you could shoot L-10 but I've never been a fan of performing reloads on a gun with a magwell without extended basepads on the magazines.

I use it in IDPA all the time so I've gotten used to not having extended basepads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-ManBart Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 You could use it in Limited-10, but it makes less sense than in Limited. At least in Limited you'll have a bit more magazine capacity to (help) make up somewhat for Minor scoring. From what I've seen Major is often worth more than a couple of rounds of mag capacity, but at least it's something. In L-10 you have no advantage and one big disadvantage.

Actually, this whole situation seems like a perfect excuse to buy a new gun. Choose production and buy a new Glock with an unmodified frame. or Choose limited and get a Glock 35 or an STI or Choose single stack and get a 1911 or Well . . . you get the idea.

diehli Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Get a .40 top end & mags (& extensions) & play in Limited/L10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wide45 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 If you have not shot USPSA yet, forget buying anything until you have. Go shoot with the gear you have. Limited minor is as good as anything to start with. Check out what the other competitors are using. Few stay with the gun they started with for long.

wide45 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Also, working the kinks out of new gear, will drag down your focus on learning a new game. Very likely you have developed some skills, and tools for IDPA. If you have a reliable gun, and load, take advantage of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 You can also buy a Glock Lower complete now for less than the cost of a new gun. You could keep one lower stock for USPSA and the current one for IDPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
