Next Gun: Glock 34 or 35?

[Philinsocal]

While I am a bit of a CZ fanboy, I recently rented a Glock 34 and a Glock 35 at LAX range and was really impressed with how well they shot. I really like them both.

Is there any downside to buying the 35 and adding a 9mm conversion barrel. I would likely shoot 9mm quite a bit more than 40 but, it would be nice to have the option of shooting both.

if you're a gamer, 34 for production, 35 for other classes. Not sure if you can shoot a conversion barrel in production (doubt it)

for all else and don't mind another $160 kkm conversion barrel and more $30 mags x 3or4 minimum, I'd get a 35. Than again $1000 buy in gets a different level of weapon options.

Personally not a fan of the Gen3 slick side panels, so I'm forced in with the RTF2 frames, Glock 17 or 22. They were released with both straight and fish gills serrations a couple yrs ago. Otherwise talon tape helps on the slick panel sides.

I already have 9mm magazines and the 35 comes with 2 magazines so, I would probably only have to buy 2 40 mags. That said, I am still on the fence.

I'd honestly lean to the 35 and convert to shoot cheap on regular range trips. I'd get a better than average conversion barrel while I'm in there. S3f or KKM, ie similar over lonewolf $130 barrels. $160 for a KKM isn't bad at all from glock store. Would take 2000rounds to make up the cost of the barrel conversion. $14/40sw to $10/9mm. $160/4= 40 boxes of ammo

I did this recently. Found a super low mileage used g35, bought a conversion barrel for it, and for extra peace-of-mind replaced the ejector with a 9mm ejector. The conversion barrel is also thicker than the standard 9mm barrel, so there's that going for it as well

Go for the G35 because: .357 SIG!

And the 6” barrels always look cool in them.

I have thousands of rounds on a cheap Lone Wolf 9mm conversion barrel. Shoots fine.

I have both and I haven't touched the the 35 in 10+ years..

You can get a conversion barrel (I have a lonewolf) but the reality is that they do exactly the same thing.. The only thing being ammo is more expensive and the gun snaps more with .40 cal.

Between the two, the 34 is just more practical..

I have a Gen 3 34 and a Gen 3 21 SF. Really like the 34. I got the 21 to fill the gap of a aged 1911. Got a wild hair for the 45.....

You won’t be able to shoot Production Division with the Glock 35 utilizing a 9mm conversion barrel. The club I used to shoot at will let me do it during club matches, but will not approve it for matches with prize table or sanctioned matches.

Thanks for the tip. If I get a conversion barrel, I'll go for the KKM or S3f

That's something to keep in mind. I do not shoot competition but, I would imagine that fact may also hurt potential resale.

Wow -that contraption looks like a ton of fun.

I would go with the Glock 34

buy the caliber you intend to shoot more as your original, I wouldnt rely on a conversion

using a conversion and switching calibers would probably cause uneven wear, better to keep the original barrel, slide together.
