This guide details the custom modifications required to build a handgun for the InRange TV Handgun Brutality 'Compact Carry' class. It involves significant slide and frame work, including shortening the slide, relocating the optic mount, and integrating a custom frame with recoil-reducing tungsten weights and a Timney trigger. The goal is to maximize performance within strict size limitations, as demonstrated by Booligan, an experienced custom firearm builder.

Quick Summary

The 'Think Inside The Box' project customizes a Glock for the Handgun Brutality Compact Carry class by shortening the Glock 26 slide, relocating the optic mount forward, and using a custom frame with integrated tungsten weights and a Timney trigger. This approach maximizes performance within strict size limitations for competition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What modifications are needed for a Glock to compete in the Compact Carry class?

To compete in the Compact Carry class, a Glock needs significant modifications like shortening the slide, relocating the optic mount forward, and potentially using a custom frame with integrated recoil weights to meet strict dimensional requirements. This build used a Glock 26 slide shortened by 3/8 inch and a Glock 19 equivalent grip length.

How is recoil managed in the custom 'Think Inside The Box' handgun?

Recoil is managed through a combination of a compensated barrel and the integration of tungsten weights directly into the custom frame. This setup aims to reduce muzzle rise and felt recoil, allowing for faster follow-up shots during competition.

What are the key components of the custom Glock build for Handgun Brutality?

The custom build features a modified Glock 26 slide, a custom frame with a Timney trigger and tungsten recoil weights, a compensated barrel, and a Leupold red dot optic. The goal was to maximize performance within the restrictive dimensions of the Compact Carry class.
