Glock 35

[Indridcold]

Anyone run the Glock 35 .40 as a duty gun. I'm thinking about switching to a 35 from a 22. Any thoughts, comments, opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Try the search button, there's a lot of Glock talk threads on here. You can also youtube it, there's a guy that does nothing but videos on all glock models.

There are quite number of agencies issuing G34/35 to their specialized units. Several years back, Glock magazine ran an article about the agency down in GA using G34 as their primary sidearm.

G35 should be a good gun if it is going to be use exclusively with your duty rig (not a good concealed carry gun IMO). Gives you extra distance between sights and longer barrel means you can increase accuracy. Also is a sweet gun to shoot.

Nothing better than the G21 combined with the G30!

Thats what i carry! The 35 is a great option, gives you a little longer barrel and sight radius, in turn better accuracy. Any other reasons why you were considering it?

I was actually looking into a Glock 34 with a grip reductiona and with Sevigny Carry sights (Front tritium, straight 8 tritium set up) on it for carry use. A glock 19 doesn't bother me with a good holster, and it isn't that much bigger.

With a NY-1/3.5# trigger setup it would have just about everything.

Long sight radius, trigger which has a positive reset, slim grip, capacity out the yin-yang and no recoil, crisp sights with a fast low light set up as well.

A plastic Browning Hi-Power, but lighter.

Then reality set in, and I need tires and a timing belt/water pump on a VW, so that project is on the back-burner.

Ah well...

Volusia County Sheriff's Office in central Florida carries Glock 35s with 3.5# triggers, magwells and night sights. Every deputy I've talked to from there absolutely loves their guns.

why oh why would you want a NY trigger, they are garbage

NY1 trigger with 3.5lb disconnect gives about 5.5lb trigger pull, but extremely sweet and smooth release of the striker.

A Charlie Vanek drop in kit gives all of that except it's ~3lb instead of 5.5lb. If you don't want to spend that kind of money, a Ghost kit with the 3.5# rocket connector, a 4lb striker spring, extra power trigger spring and a lightened plunger spring makes around 3.5 and it's very crisp.

Do a bit of research (checking GunBroker.com, GunsAmerica, Glock?) and you might save a bit of money. A few years ago, when Glocks were approved by my department and I was shooting PPC, I learned I could buy a long slide "upper" for a lot less than an entirely new pistol. I already had a Model 22 Glock and easily switched to my long slide (Bomar sight equipped) upper for PPC competition, then back again for uniformed carry. Might be a good option for you too, if you'd like the shorter slide/barrel set up available for concealed carry.

I carried a 21/30 combo for awhile but had to shed that for my current dept. I like the idea of the longer sight radius and longer barrel and .40 is a little more affordable than .45 so I get can more trigger time.

@Indridcold, I was thinking the same, but didnt want to buy another pistol because of a shortage of money and also because you cant go wrong with a .45, one shot is all it takes. If you need 17 plus 1 then you need some training. Let me know if 9mm stops a guy on PCP.

@ with a .45, one shot is all it takes. If you need 17 plus 1 then you need some training. Let me know if 9mm stops a guy on PCP.

As much as I love .45 ACP cartridge and its ability, I have seen incidents where a single .45 ACP didn't do the job that you are talking about.

Yes, .45 ACP is more potent round than a 9mm, but it sure isn't a magic bullet that will stop everything with a single shot.

There is so much wrong with this post that it isn't even worth arguing.
