Hey all,
Just bought a G34 for use in USPSA, where I plan to shoot in Limited (Minor) division. I have shot 5 matches til now with my G19, some in Limited (Minor), one in Open, and one in Production.
I'm both looking to make sure I understand the requirements of Limited vs. both Production and Open and to get your opinions on some good mods to use.
First, I want to replace the stock Glock sights (I've never cared for them). My only requirements for new sights are that I would like them to be steel and the front post to be fiber optic. From what little research I've done I like the Sevigny sights I've seen; wondering if there's a better value or just all-around better sights. I don't really have a limited budget, but don't want to be dropping more on sights and other items than the gun's worth.
Additionally, I'd like to make sure I have the right ideas on a few other mods. First, magazines are limited to 141.25mm, which for a Glock should work out to a +6 extension (23 rounds total) - is that right? Don't want to accidentally bump myself to Open.
Second, is a flared/bevelled magazine well allowed in Limited? It clearly says it's not in Production, and I've obviously seen plenty in Open, but I'm not 100% sure about Limited. If they are allowed, what are some good places to look for getting/adding one to the 34?
Finally, Limited says that compensators and barrel ports are not allowed but slide ports are. I'm reading this restrictively to say that the port in the G34's slide is good, but I cannot get a barrel with top ports or vents that line up with the slide port (and I know I obviously can't add an external compensator without going to Open). Am I right that I can't port/vent the barrel "inside" the slide where the 34's factory slide port is?
Thanks for everyone's help!
