I’ve found it easy just to UPS expected round count +100 to the match and bring an extra hundred in my checked baggage. Any extra is still ubder the weight limit with United. It is kinda nice showing up and the match and having it there for me.
it won't be that significant. the longer sight radius (and additional velocity) would give you a slight edge over the 17 but it doesn't buy you much imo. i do really like the the radius for the 34/35. I ran a 24 for a little while and found that the sight radius was too long and took more effort to get a good sight picture.
I run a tungsten from glockstore. not sure if they make a specific one for the gen 5s or if you need an adapter. i have a gen 4 and use an adapter for a gen 1-3 rod.
OMG! I 200 gr 40 minor. Have a big bag of "Giggly Pews" (they make me giggle every time I shoot them) 200gr blue bullets over 3.1gr n320 via Glock 35. Barely cycles witha 13# spring but makes 135 PF and ridiculously low recoil.
