Competition Pistol Size Limits ( Glock 17L)

[Will_White]

I'm working on building a compensated glock 17L and I was wondering what competions I could use it in. I've heard things about a box but I'm not sure what that means.

Depends on the sanctioning body and the class you want to compete in.

Compensated Glock 17L will place you in open division for both of these disciplines.

For IDPA the pistol must fit in a box. IDPA rules include the dimensions but I don't think IDPA allows compensated pistols anyway. Look at USPSA and IPSC if you want to shoot that pistol. My advise is to find matches near you that you would like to shoot and then get a gun that fits that competition, not the other at around.

I'm building the gun for fun and plinking, using it for competition is secondary. I already have a g17 for competition.

The compensator puts you in USPSA/Steel Challenge Open division. Pretty much no limits on what you can do
to the gun in Open, just limits on the magazine length in USPSA. I built and ran G17 Major 9 open guns for a few
years. Interesting platform.
