Lone Wolf Slide IDPA legal?

Walt_NC · Mar 29, 2011

I have a G17 that I CC and regularly shoot in local IDPA competitions. I am considering picking up an aftermarket slide from Lone Wolf. It has forward serrations, and a bevel along the top slide corners and beveled front end.

Except for the forward serrations, all of the mods seem to be cosmetic, ie: the beveling doesnt seem like it would shave enough weight to be considered a "competitive advantage". Especially when ESP allows the G34 with a bevelled front end and a factory lightened slide.

Does anyone know if the LW slide is "IDPA legal" in the ESP division?

Its been awhile since I looked at the rulebook but I know several customers of ours are using our slides and even our Timberwolf frame in ESP.

Yes it is Legal in IDPA ESP. Or if you want to Shoot USPSA it would be Limited, or Lim 10

Correct, I checked with the Fl area IDPA honcho, Lance Biddle, about a month ago. He in turn checked with HQ and they said as long as it makes weight it's fine for ESP.

I just received a stripped Lone Wolf G34 Slide, and it looks awesome. I just have to put the parts into it and go play.

Good luck with yours. Let us know how you like it.

sorry for chiming in late here... as everyone has said, yes ESP legal. Would be SSP legal except for front slide serrations.

Glad you guys are happy with your slides.. Now its just time to get the Timberwolf frame and make yourselves a totally custom gun for competition.

G34 slide is the same weight as the G17 slide. It's cut out is not a lightening but a balancing act to keep it the same as the G17 so they can use the same springs with both guns.
