I have been kicking around the idea of getting back into USPSA and while I am tempted by the sexy Italian Tanfoglio or the classic American 1911, the gun I have by far the most experience with (and previous USPSA experience) is Glock.
Since everyone loves pictures, post up for your race Glocks! What mods do have for which class? Thanks! |

I am starting back in next month after a 3 year lay off. I am going with a Taran Tactical G35. I had it out yesterday at the range doing various drills on the plate rack.

Would a 35 built from an RTF2 frame be legal in Limited? My glock 35 has under cut trigger guard, grip reduction with finger grooves removed and stippling Rest of gun has dawson fiber optic front sight, adjustable rear, LWD barrel, tungsten recoil rod, vanek trigger, dawson ice magwell, dawson extended mag bases. Still not better than my CZ TS orange or SVI 2011 though but it got me started in limited major. |

I'll save you some money....
TTI trigger kit $40 Warren Sevigny sights $70 140mm extensions ( I like the TTI ones but they are expensive) Factory extended mag release I put a 13lb spring in mine and used 200 grain reloads. The spring weight depends on the load you're using though. I did use a magwell for awhile but I pinched my finger in between it and the mag extensions one too many times. New barrel is a waste of money Super expensive trigger kits are a waste of money (it's still a Glock) Limited master with my G35 A83611 |
You guys are slacking, OP asked for pictures! 
I agree with AJE that some people spend too much on tricking out their Glocks for Limited. You don't need stuff like slide cuts or aftermarket barrels. Quoted:

Was shooting a CZ 75B and a 1911 for 3Gun. My match mate decided she liked the fit and feel of a Glock 17. So, I went out 2 years ago and bought a 34 too. Both of them are setup identical.
Gen 4 17 and 34 Dawson Sights TTI Trigger kits Dawson Magwell (Brass for the weight) 140mm pads Jager Rods and 13lb springs (with adapter) We shoot Limited Minor now and then, mostly 3Gunning it. |

That is awesome. Is the 24 much of an advantage over the 35? |

Just built a budget 35 for Limited. Been shooting Production. Haven't shot it in a match yet.
Used the reciever from my G4 G17 and found a 35 upper on here Dawson adjustable FO sights DK Trigger W/ Lightened Stiker - I swapped out the connector for a Zev since the one it came with was too squishy. My older DK isn't like that. Zev heavy brass magwell - I really like the balance of the gun with this. Not nose heavy like my Stock 2 was. I could never get used to that. Extended aluminum mag release Zev full length guide rod 14# spring Undercut trigger guard Dawson grip tape TTI +4 Base Pads KKM barrel that came with the upper It's worth it for the mag release and mag well alone. Makes reloads so much easier since I'm not a baller yet.

How about video...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2rCsHFChEgI like how you first locked the slide back on the first stage to insert a 20 round mag  . I will normally never reload to a full 20 rounds; one stage a while ago I really needed to do it after a reload so I consciously thought about slamming that mag in hard. They'll seat, but it's not easy!
And stage 2 was 30 something rounds from one shooting position

That was the end of year monster match.... Here's a more normal one at that club (IIRC I was high overall at one of these).

Gen 3 24 or 35
Good fiber sights 140mm mags (at least two @140mm, some people buy five outright, you can ease into this) Drop in trigger unit (get 1,000 rounds on the gun first) Skateboard tape for grip (don't stipple right away, may not need it) Good holster Done... This isn't rocket science. A lot of people drop another thousand into the gun before they settle on a preferred load. Figure that out while the gun is mostly stock. That load may dictate what trigger/spring weights are going to be the most reliable. And don't put a match barrel in it. You get almost no performance gain unless the stock barrel doesn't shoot your load of choice well, which is almost never the case. |
