Without the magwell you would be in Carry Optics so it would be the width
Leave the magwell on and it would be Limited optics and the length

I’m not shooting for competition though? I’m just trying to enter and go shoot.

I think you are confusing IDPA and USPSA.
If you show up to a USPSA match you are competing in the division that you pick as far as your scores go. If it is to just shoot the match show up and shoot, don’t worry about the scores.
Yes. He was talking about IDPA, not USPSA. There was a tangent upthread.
YES. IT. IS. I actually deleted that comment because I didnt want the argument. Apparently your software cached it. So here goes.
IDPA has rules, and your kit doesnt fit. So stop complaining about how the world doesnt revolve around you and wont let you do whatever you want, regardless of what the rules say.
If you want to shoot your kit as-is, you need to find a discipline that accepts it. And IDPA aint it. Hopefully USPSA will work for you and your kit.
Good luck.
Yeah idk the real difference between the two, I’m just trying to go out and shoot and have fun and people aren’t about me having fun hahaha
I shoot whatever I want to shoot at my local IDPA matches and have never seen any instance of a new shooter not being welcomed with open arms even though their equipment doesn't fit the rule book, they may ask you to shoot for zero score. The same holds for the local USPSA matches I am familiar with. Common sense safety still applies (no metal piercing ammo, etc). 8 shot revolver (not IDPA legal) is a lot of fun for IDPA for example.
EDIT: Per a good point from a previous poster it is a good idea to ask first and make sure that the local match folks are not sticklers about things. I haven't seen it but others have.
I guess that’s been my problem, I’m not sure who exactly to talk to when it comes to these things..Then I get flammed by old fudds with their leather holsters for even asking lol
I don't remember flaming you! Oh wait I am old and use leather holsters but am not a "fud."
Actually Grebler is wrong about his 8 shot revolver, at least the last time I looked at that part of the rule book. It is kind of weird and does not make a lot of sense but the revolver is IDPA legal in itself. However to be legal it can only be loaded with six rounds. I know, who would actually only load six rounds. Jim.
Wasn’t referring to you lol
You can always go watch a match or two. See if they are what you might be interested in? Follow the shooting sports section for matches within your driving range. Take you eye and ear pro.
Also, YouTube has a ton of USPSA videos...
So I actually did, I talked about this earlier..Showed up to watch about an hour before the shoot was scheduled to start..Nobody was there and they were still setting up. It took 3 hours to finish and then do the walk through. Noon came and they hadn’t started shooting yet. I left after that lol
The RO and I guess the guy running it were yapping off to each other and it just made it really awkward.
Not so much. Smith and Wesson 929 , 6.5" barrel. IDPA rule A.5.5.6 "Barrel length must be 4 1/4 or less" , it would also be tough to meet the cover garment rules, and my holster is illegal and so is my belt.
Interestingly the IDPA rules folks were able to scientifically determine that a longer barrel would get you killed in a real gun fight and unlike pcc guns revolvers are not invisible to bad guys so they all have to be concealed.
Agree with the latter part of your post and that it is usually a very good bet to assume that I don't know what I am talking about

It’s the same reason they allow, carry optics, weapon mounted flashlights and appendix carry!
Because USPSA allows it!
Market dictates as the tail wags the dog. I started my new project build for Defensive and Practical Shooting. An Open Bazooka and Limited One Rocket Launcher. Rules should allow it by the time they are ready.
Warning though targets will be set back another 6 inches.
Because a PCC is a viable home defense weapon?
There is something about a 12 gauge though that is stone cold comforting.
You could not have said it better.
The Ft Wayne is at Bass and Bucks, correct?
I'm a member of WRPC (WPRC?), I wish they offered IDPA or USPSA. I know a couple guys up here that would be game.
