Wow, i didnt even think about the fulcrum aspects of it! I was mostly fixated on the whole fps/loss of usable gas. *opens whole new can of worms* As far as transitions go, im one of them guys everyone says is holding it wrong becuase i finger the front of the trigger guard. So a bit extra on the end isnt too bad in my own experience simply due to my holding the gun farther out "shortens" the gun

Im building an uspsa open glock and am trying to pick between a 17 and 34. Im shooting production and have no experience with compensators, or shooting major PF So more powder=more gas=better function of the comp. So we load slower burning powders, for more volume of gas. The longer the barrel the more complete burring of the powered so we are able to utilize "all" of the powder which gives a higher velocity. however if its burning too fast/not enough powder we peek before the bullet exits due to lack of available gas Sooo my question is, should i stick with the 17 to work the comp better? Or can i get velocity AND still fullly use the comp with the longer barrel. If the latter is true, how much diffrent(if at all) is the loads i will be needing to make? Or am i just over thinking the whole thing?
