I shoot a bit of USPSA and I've been training a gal using a Glock 19 (her carry piece).
She wants to step up to a more proper gun and equipment as she's tired of being at the bottom of the rankings. She's shooting limited division with the +2 extension getting her 19 rounds per mag. I also convinced her to get a CR Speed belt, Ghost holster and CR Speed mag pouches.
She's quite accurate and can run the gun well, so I've been working on economy of motion and getting her speed up. Splits were atrocious but she's cut them in half after working with me. There's a lot of potential with her and some insight from my experience has got her on the fast track.
Bottom line is I don't own a Glock, so I'm at a bit of a loss to suggest what model and improvements to make to the weapon.
She wants to stay with 9mm as her husband already loads it. I originally suggested a 34 but really don't know if that's the best choice.
Sooo...what model? What improvements? Tungsten guide rod? Fiber optic front sight? Magwell? Fulcrum trigger? What's worth it and what isn't? Money isn't an issue, she's got the go ahead from hubby to get equipped (within reason).
While I'm a 1911 guy (I'm shooting an SV), my first thought was to suggest a 1911 but that's counterproductive, so please don't make that suggestion. She's staying with a Glock.
Thanks

EDIT: Would she be better off shooting a different division? Production maybe? It might let her compete with people on her level.
