SIG P320, IWB, Mags

[leam]

Technically, I'm not a newbie since I did IDPA a decade or so ago. Looking to get back in, and have some questions.

 

1. Standard SIG P320 (Post SIG Upgrade) in 9mm, with Grayguns Fat guide rod. SSP or ESP?

2. If I talk myself into the trigger upgrade (Carry, not Competition  https://grayguns.com/product/practical-enhanced-leverage-p320-trigger-pelt2/)  , SSP or ESP?

3. Black Dog K9 IWB holster legal?   (https://blackdogconcealment.com/product/k9-iwb-tuckable-leather-and-kydex-holsters/)

4. Max number of  magazines needed on the belt?

 

Thanks!

Another Charleston guy!

 

1: Should be ok in SSP

2:?

3:Have seen local guys use this style before.  As long as its a 3'oclock behind hip bone.

4:I only carry 2 on the belt for idpa.  Have never had a stage require more.  

 

Mike Wilkerson, a local shooter here in Charleston is the guy to ask about rules clarification.  He attends most of the local matches.

 

You planning on shooting indoor at C&S? Palmetto? or both?

Well, we could look at the rules.

 

8.2.1.2 SSP Permitted Modifications (Inclusive list):

C. Magazine releases, slide stops, safety levers, de-cocking levers, hammers, and triggers, that are stock on one SSP

legal firearm may be used on another SSP legal firearm from the same manufacturer provided they are drop in

replacements. Parts in this list must come factory installed on standard production firearms. Special parts that

are available installed only from a factory custom shop are not eligible in SSP.

 

So a GGI trigger (2) is not allowable in SSP. 

Bruce says:  "Our triggers are externally comparable in appearance to the factory part" so you could probably get away with it, but it is not legit.

 

D. Recoil spring guide rods and dual spring recoil systems made of material that is no heavier than stainless steel.

8.2.1.3 SSP Excluded Modifications (Non-Inclusive list):

 

E. Slide inserts to accommodate a different recoil assembly design.

 

Looks like you are OK on the guide rod (1), nothing in the catalog about inserts or changes to use it.  

 

Holster (3) ought to work if you can comfortably wear it at 3:00 such that the pistol's trigger is behind the side centerline of your torso.

 

You are allowed two reload magazines on the belt (4), to be worn "behind the hipbone".  You can have a mag pouch for a magazine to load the gun with to start but it has to be empty at the start.

Thanks! When I looked at the rules, the guide rod seemed okay, but I missed the bit on the trigger. Always good to have extra eyes on the question!

 

Coryf, the hope is to do both. However, I'm in a class the first part of 16 Nov so will likely miss the PGC match, and my wife tutors on Mondays so we have to figure out how to get me there and then get her to the other person. 

 

I have an OWB mag holder that should work for now. Only one IWB.

Cool.  Hope to see you around.
