Outstanding video Mark! A very nicely organized, informative tutorial.

Good job Mark. Now I'm all ready for Backstopper's 2017. Really liked seeing what everything wrong looks like.

How do you know which "safety devices" a given gun is supposed to have?

[@dennisb4027]

If I changed just the trigger shoe can I use in competition?

[@robertjames7812]

Can a handgun be rotated slightly in the box to fit, or does it have to sit square?

[@markgoede6110]

You can do whatever you need to to make it fit, but it must stay in battery. If you can dry fire it in the box, your good.

Been shooting some local matches for some time, interested in shooting a sanctioned match, question about my gun, it is a 45acp, with a grip that has been stippled and the guide rod is a solid guide rod, how does that affect my equipment check?

[@IDPAatARPC]

carstensxdm45, your 45 is more than likely being shot in CDP Custom Defense which is like Enhanced Service Pistol. Stiple to your hearts content! Your legal!

[@arthurcarstens]

The stippling in on the actual grip, the gun is a xdm 5.25, still okay?

[@1911JMB45]

too many bs rules.

[@sirvimmy]

Yeah... kinda agreed.

[@nimbly1693]

Are tritium sights legal for stock service pistol?

[@josephlarson4643]

I didn't know sti race guns with ice magwells were legal in idpa.

[@jivadaya6439]

I used to participate in IDPA and always had a great time but had to stop due to scheduling conflicts. I would like to begin again but have found out that my CZ does not fit into any division due to its dimensions/weight (not safety issues). It is not a race gun and I don't see how it gives me any distinct advantages (other than not looking like a heavy duty stapler)... RIP the dream

[@markgoede6110]

What CZ model do you have. Not sure which gun that is not a race gun would kick you out of all IDPA divisions?

[@jivadaya6439]

I was told that my steel frame P-01 would not fit in box and/or be too heavy. Should I just go to a local match and see if they approve it? It's been a while and seems like things have changed a lot (like the 5x5 classifier?!?)

[@markgoede6110]

Yes, for sure you should be fine for local matches. I just looked up all the CZ Steel P 01's and even the extended 75B is within limits that I can see.

[@jivadaya6439]

I wonder why they told me no, thanks a lot, I'll go to a match and try - thanks!

[@derickhuff]

Which division would a 19x fit in?

[@bendytendy9586]

the mullet division
