Best competition sight and magwell for a G34?

[Skyfire1201]

I have a bone stock gen3 G34 that I'm trying to turn into competition gun. My daily carry G19 has a pair of Heinies, but for the G34 I want a pair of sights specifically for competition, and rugged at the same time. Similarly, I want a magwell for faster speed reload and balancing. What do you guys recommend for these two items?

I'd say Dawson both. Be sure to keep an eye on magwell materials, as in IDPA brass is not allowed.

What is allowed then? Steel, Aluminum, Polymer?

For IDPA at least, brass is the only thinking expressly prohibited. And as far as plugs, plastic is mentioned as acceptable.

Dawson fiber optic front sight, Dawson black adjustable rear sight. Get the thinnest front sight you can.

Warren Tactical. Plain black rear with a .245 front fiber. I like the U notch and "wave" like cutouts on the rear. Draws my aging eyes towards the front sight more.

I just purchased a new G34 (Gen4) and installed the above-mentioned Warren Tactical Glock sights--very impressed with the product.

I personally find the Wilson Combat/LAV Battlesights to be very easy to track with a tritium or gold bead front. So I would probably pick up a set of them from Wilson and run a fiber optic front.

My USPSA/3gun g34 wears sights from Taran Tactical and I highly recommend them. They also have a pretty nice magwell for the gen3 pistols. You say "competition", but what type of competition? IDPA, USPSA, ISPC, 3 gun, Steel, outlaw? Which type and what division you want to play in will help determine your accessory choices.

USPSA for instance, you'll probably want to shoot production with a 9mm so a magwell is out or you can shoot limited minor, take the scoring penalty and run a magwell. IPDA SSP = no magwell; you can shoot IDPA ESP with a magwell, but a magwell that is legal for 3 gun and USPSA might not be legal in ESP (not all fit in the IDPA box). Every game is different so what type of matches do your local clubs offer and what interests you the most?

Great question, I'm primarily interested in USPSA and 3gun matches, in the production/tactical classes. So far I've only been shooting in a local pistol league which is basically tactical-style shooting with production guns. I'd like to stay with production guns since for me the purpose of competition is to run my SD guns faster in SHFT scenarios. Is the restrictions in these games primarily associated with magwell, or do iron sights matter too? I don't plan to run a reddot on the G34 (at least not yet).
