1911 bull commander question for idpa

[dimsum414]

so i'm building a commander sized 1911, and am putting in a bull barrel, chambered in 9mm...is this legal for idpa? i thought i heard somewhere no bull barrels, but could be wrong about that...

 

[glocky]

to my knowledge having the bull barrel might put you over the weight limit, if your only planning to shoot club matches i wouldn't worry about it but it might be a no no for sanctioned matches. where do you shoot idpa?

 

[glocky]

I'll check my rule book for you as soon as i can find it

 

[glocky]

with an empty mag the total weight can not exceed 43 oz.
heavy and/or cone style barrels without a barrel bushing is a non legal modification for all divisions

 

[jar]

Factory cone barrels are allowed in CDP if they're less than 4.2". So, you can shoot a subcompact 1911 in 45ACP in CDP, but no commanders or gov't models, and nothing in 9mm.

Like glocky said, most people at the club match level won't care, and I bet most clubs would at least let you shoot for no score and some would let them count.

Page 18 of the rule book.

Not allowed in any division unless otherwise specifically mentioned.. Heavy and/or cone style barrels without a barrel bushing.

Good time to buy another gun. Glock 17s are popular, as are Glock 19s, and even a Glock 21.

i have a m&p9, and 45, both full size, and glock 30, the compact size of the 21, but you knew that already

hehehe....

how bout grinding it down so its *NEAR* flush with the barrel... They protrude a bit anyway... ground and recrown? Just a thought... or is that then considered "modified"? ....opens can of worms and runs away.....

i have a m&p9

Look no further.

OTOH, the world needs more wheelgun shooters.
