RFI: Game Modding a Glock for Carry Optics, maybe Production
@GJM thanks a bunch for the weight numbers on the G19.4. I have a GlockStore Tungsten Guide Rod on order for my G19.5 because why not. With my Thug Plug I should be not over the USPSA P weight limit of +4 ounces over OFM weight of gun plus empty mag.
@rob_s complete USPSA noob here w only 9 matches lifetime, but a lot of folks me included run plan black rears and either a FO or Tritium / colored front.
Specifically in my case for an early Gen 5 G19, my gun shoots POI=POA to a cover dot hold w stock height black rears and a 0.180” front.
I will repeat what I said above, equipment choices comes very far down the list of what makes a difference in my score. Mikes, putting holes in no shoots, generally missing steel on the first attempt, and complete brain farts and leaving targets un engaged push me way down the standings. I am a D shooter knocking on C class. I feel competition is / was a really great level setter in setting my expectations of how poor a shooter I am. I am not currently very good at USPSA, but I am enjoying the journey.
Good Luck!

TIA.
I think for Production, per USPSA rulebook, 1/1/19, Appendix D-4, Production Division, I believe the pistol must weigh no more than +4 oz over original firearm manufacturer (OFM) weight with empty magazine:
Attachment 45286
The Production Gun List (https://uspsa.org/productionlist) has a few Glock 34s mentioned, e.g.
34 9mm (26 oz.)
34 Gen 4 9mm 5.32 Barrel (26 oz.)
G34 Gen 5 MOS (without optic for (26.2 oz.)
G34 Gen5 MOS (26.21 oz.)
G34 MOS (25.95 oz.)
So I believe you weigh your gun "ready to go" with an empty mag, and if you are not over +4 oz the above weights, you are good to go for P.
