Jeffed76 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 So I’m looking to use a Glock 26 for bug IDPA. I want to make some upgrades, some useful and some for looks. Below are the upgrades I’m toying with. I think the first two are safe, not sure about the last two. Any feedback is much appreciated!

45 Raven Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Refer to the IDPA rules here: https://www.idpa.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/IDPA-Rulebook-2017.pdf Specifically, look on pages 31 and 32 and read sections 8.2.7 thru 8.2.10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffed76 Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Yeah, I read the rules. You have to check 8.2.2 also because most of the upgrades refer you to ESP. I was just checking to see if anyone had issues with upgrades like this in a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45 Raven Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Yes, that's why the cited sections refer to 8.2.2 So you read the rules, and you are asking if the readership of this forum "think"your proposed modifications would be "safe" - meaning, I assume if they would safely meet the rules. If anyone responds to your request for feedback. you are quite likely going to get numerous interpretations of how they personally view your additions/modifications as compared to the rules. They might even wonder why you cannot reach this determination by reading the rules. After all, that's how they would reach the same determination. Go to your local IDPA club where you plan to shoot. I predict you are planning on entering a Tier 1 match. Chances are extremely high that they will let you shoot your G26 in BUG division, even if it is NOT in compliance with the rules. And I am pretty confident they will point out anything about your pistol that does NOT meet the rules. Not certain what else I can do to help you. Put a little effort in at your local club.

Mike62 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 The pearce grip extensions make the gun too big to fit in the box. I have seen several folks take a belt sander to them to make them fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBurgess Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I have seen metal magazine catches eat the notch on plastic mags before, admittedly this was on Limited guns in uspsa where the mags are very tight and the recoil is pretty stiff for a light gun.

PatrickDoyle Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Do magpul mags work for bug and g26? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PchVA Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 The Magpul 12 rounders for the G26 work and fit the IDPA box without modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
