My son (Dalton) already has a stock 17 and a custom built 34 (he built it). Do most glock competitors replace the barrels so they can shoot reloads? I discouraged him from using reloads in his 17, in the interest of safety. One reason Dalton custom built his 34 was so he would be able to shoot reloads. I'll be sure to pass on your sentiments to Dalton (#1 is have fun). I'll have to get him on the forum. Thanks very much Sawman
