I actually recommend the mid-length for use with a suppressor.
Mid-length runs a smaller port size so the addition of a suppressor has LESS effect than on a rifle setup where the port is opened up more to account for the shorter dwell time.
For pure competetion, I recommend the rifle length setup for it's smooth operation ans short dwell which helps you stay on target.
Cold weather reduces the operating pressure of the ammo and can also make the lubrication heavier (more sluggish movement).
Cold weather combined with a short dwell time has a potential for short stroking problems.
In reality it usually just causes a failure to lock back on an empty mag.
Function from shot-shot is usually fine.
