Caliber conversion and 3gun

[Wingshooter]

Can I still shoot Factory or Practical in 3gun if I use a Glock22 with a 9mm conversion barrel?

I've read the rules, but they don't specifically address this, or do they?

17.3.1.1 Firearms must function and operate as in the original factory configuration.
17.3.1.2 Internal and External modifications are allowed, provided the modifications do not alter the original function and operation of the firearm.

 

 

ETA: I'm pretty sure I answered my own question after Re-reading the rules. I think that would put me in Unlimited Division because it's no longer "original factory configuration".

I'm dense I know...but couldn't a barrel replacement also be considered an internal modification? Yeah that's a stretch, but go for it.

That's the way I first read it, but the first rule threw me off.

Contact a local club that hosts IDPA / USPSA matches. I'm sure they have an answer for you.

You can shoot a caliber conversion handgun in 3 gun. Not a problem.

Good news! So a Glock 22 with a 40--->9 conversion barrel is good to go for Factory division without putting me in unlimited?

What type of match are you shooting? USPSA multigun?  It sounds like you are referencing USPSA divisions. Most 3 gun matches do not have those divisions. Its either tac ops or open as far as hand guns go.

He's referencing 3 Gun Nation divisions. A glock 22 converted to 9mm won't be a problem for factory/tac irons division.
