Unless you lots of money for gun work or know how to do it, I would stay stock a work on basic shooting skills and learning how matches run. Plenty of time to trick out the gun as you go up in different classes.

Well a ported barrel puts in the Open division for USPSA.

Here's link to the 2020 USPSA rule book. Tons of information in but check with your local matches for any local rules or variances. Like lower level matches may not require power load verification unless you claim max power. Max power gets you more points for each scored shot than minimum. All the info including how the power factors are calibrated are in the link.

I LOVE my “C” model Glocks! And while I do have one modified, I completely agree with Gaz, keep it stock and shoot it until you feel like a master. You will be at a disadvantage at first but that’s OK because it will force you to be a much better shooter.

Modifying the gun too early will cover up flaws in technique and you will plateau. But If you master the stock gun and then modify you will gain an advantage instead of covering up problems.

Good plan to shoot it in Open... You can use standard ammunition and shoot Open minor... You can load your current magazines as full as you want... or get up to 170mm long magazines to hold more ammo... Less reloading on a stage... More shooting!

Plus almost anything you can think of is allowable in Open...

I would say yes but that's just me. I feel you get better sooner by focusing on your improvement from to match to match instead of where you place in the match. But everybody learns differently.
