How does factory ammo compare? The stock recoil spring weight is 17 lb and is meant to be used with factory ammo. If you do change the recoil spring, that's all you HAVE to change. It isn't directly related to any other part on the gun. You will likely need the Gen 3 type captured spring. It has a removable end so you can change out the spring for a different weight. It should come with a little adapter washer plug for use in Gen4 guns. 14 pounds should be just fine. You may be able to go even lighter as long as it passes the gravity test (look it up, don't feel like explaining it atm). Recoil spring weight comes down to personal preference once you have gone light enough to make the gun function adequately. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

The stock trigger is heavy, but as a carry gun that's not necessarily a bad thing. I'd maybe put some night sights on it and call it a day.

Is the ammo factory or reloaded? If reloaded what's the OAL?

It's definitely more difficult to get a 9mm major open glock running smoothly, but I wouldn't say they "never work out" Shooting .40 eliminates the frustrations with having a hotter round than the gun is made for since a standard load for .40 makes major PF already. Do some searching on google and the forum around here, you'll find loads of articles and conversations about open glocks. There's even a kit that you can buy that comes with everything you need. I think it's like $550.

App D4 21.3 If the frame is legal and the slide and barrel is the same length, contour, and caliber as the factory version for that frame, you are fine A better question is: if you put a 9mm barrel and slide on a .40 frame, technically you can't do that, but it is LITERALLY impossible to determine unless you are the government and know what serial number goes with what gun.

You're unclassified now right? You'll probably classify a little lower than if you were shooting major, but that's not a bad thing. When you switch to major your classification will likely go up. Until then, enjoy beating everyone in your class. You aren't sandbagging if you are trying your best. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Shoot limited minor for a while. Magwells, frame weights, mag extensions, holsters, etc will work with the 34 or 35 so you can switch whatever you already got over to the new gun when you get it. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Change to 40 mags too Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

You can get away with using a 40 ejector for 9mm, but a 9mm ejector shooting 40 gets dangerously close to the primer when trying to eject a live round. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

No, change the full upper (slide, barrel, extractor) and the ejector. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Nope. I did have Can You Count though. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk Would much rather have shot that stage lol. Your close target is 6 feet away. Triple choice is at 25 feet with one target head box only. Anyway, how did it go! It pushed me to B which I'm woefully unready for. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

No problem with that. It's comforting to know though that I can go over 500 rounds before even beginning to doubt its reliability.Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

It's the gun. Most reliable gun I have ever come across. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

After 1000 my slide starts sticking when coming forward into battery. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

No. 10mm and .45 are large frame. 9mm, .40, and .357 sig are small frame. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

The real benefit from the Glock 34 other than the barrel is that the sight radius is longer then on a similarly sized Glock pistol that's not set up for competition. Practice though, over anything else, including a new gun, will help you improve the most. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Agreed, but money doesn't grow on trees production is what I'm trying to be competitive in.There may definitely be a Tactical Sport or STI in my future, but I don't have the dough. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Wouldn't be legal in production. And I wanted a hammer fired gun. I've been shooting my G35 in production for ages. I'm making it a limited gun now with a magwell and extended mags. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

It's not unsafe if you have the gun pointed in a safe Direction when you do it. You might get disqualified for a negligent discharge but you'd still be practicing safe gun handling Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

I just made production B, and I'm kinda feeling like even if I spent hundreds of dollars on a professional trigger job for my sp01 tactical, I wouldn't see a big performance difference at my skill level. My glock on the other hand, I saw a huge difference from shooting a lightened trigger instead of a stock trigger. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Decocker models are pretty great. Most decock to half cock, and it's still entirely production legal. You only have to go fully hammer down if you don't have a decocker. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Go pro studio is super easy and free. I think it will work with any video, not just from a go pro, but I haven't tried it. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Nope, lowering to half cock allows you to release the trigger after the hammer has moved only a little bit. If the trigger isn't pulled and your grip slips on the hammer it will fall to half cock, not all the way.Edit: that's how it works on my cz. Ymmv. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Frame weights are legal in limited, more people don't do it because it almost always requires an expensive race style holster. You could take a page out of Bob Vogel's book and take the guts out of a light and fill it with lead shot. The advantage to that over a standard frame weight is there are a lot more holster options.
