Thanks guys for all the info. Since I am very new to the USPSA sporting venue, (I have been into sporting clay competitions for a while now), it will be to my benefit to get it right the first time and stick with it I suppose. You guys have given me an idea of what I need to do. Thanks again, Jeff Simmons

Thanks cpty1, that is exactly along the lines of what I was looking for.

I have been browsing the web for about a week now looking for accessories for my Glock 35. 1. I have 3-10 round mags and need to buy more but I am having a hard time trying to decide whether to go for the preban hi-cap (that have outrageous prices) or go with the 10 round. 2. After I decide that I was looking for magwells. Should I get the heavier brass or the lighter aluminum? 3. Once that is decided I don't know if I need base pads. If I do then the problem is getting base pads that do not extend the mag capacity but just provide a pad to the bottom of the mag when they are dropped. It seems that everyone has base pads but they all extend the capacity. I just need a pad. 4. Lastly, should I replace the guide rod? Will it be legal for USPSA competition if I do? I have seen the plastic insert that fits inside the existing factory guide rod and I have seen the metal rods. If it is legal, which way do I go? I really do feel sorry for anyone who has to read all this mess but I sure whould appreciate the help. I am just getting started and am completely ignorant as to where to get this stuff. If links could be provided in the responses with a description as to what I need to look for, that would be incredible! Thanks!

also... Will a 9mm barrel in a Glock 35 keep me from shooting in the stock class events (either 9mm or .40)? I am also looking to get into those type of shoots for the first time as well. Thanks!

I am trying to decide between a Glock 34 or 35. This will be my first Glock and I have seen where people have converted their 35 to 9mm. If it is safe and can be done, what do I need to do to get it working properly? I like the 9mm for just all round plinking. I currently have a Sig 229 in .40 that I like and would just want to get the 35 to have another .40 option. If this can't be done right or without a lot of work, I'll just go for the 34. The only concern I have there is the single locking pin on the 34 frame (as opposed to two pins on the 35) just forward and below the slide release. Is this a bogus concern? Thanks in advance for any help.
