While that statement is true for the RED and WHITE label boxed pistols ('civilian models'), it doesn't apply to many of the BLUE label G34/G35 pistols (those available through the LEO/GSSF program). I mention this only in case someone goes to buy one through the LEO/GSSF program; they should look at the label to ID what they are getting - if it says 4.5#, they are getting the 'competition' '-' connector; if it says 5.5#, they are getting the regular connector. I didn't even know they were sent in different boxes. All of our firearms come in the black box. I can say this because the shipment mine came in also had units for our LEO's, and they were all in identical boxes with the same specs.

Maybe its time for a 25 cent job.

Thanks guys for the advice. I see Flexmoney has made a name for himself. Hearing that Flexmoney uses the G34 as well I can say I feel the trigger system of the G34 to be smoother than that of the G35. I used one this weekend and was impressed with the feel of it. Its just that I do not want to shoot minor so I prefer going with the G35. I will take the advice given especially about the camming. I have tried it already and it works for me, is just the speed at which I can deliver my shots (controlled pair) seem to be slower with my G35 than with the tanfoglio or STI.

Hello guys and gals, I want to know if you know of anyone who has reached GM status with a stock G35. I find the trigger particularly hard to get these double taps and controlled pairs with the speed I am used to using a tanfoglio or other pistol. Do let me know if I am missing something.

Seems I may have to buy one to try it myself. I do not know of any competitive shooter in my neck of the woods who have a Vanek trigger system.I definitely want the smoothest trigger system for my glock.

Thanks much, Blue Jacket. My concern is now which trigger system is the best for the glock. I know of the Zev from glockworx, the Vanek trigger.....which one?

Blue Jacket, what magwell, if any, are you using? Did you also change your trigger system?

There was a great video of a Salient Glock dustcover flexing all over the place from Top Shot. Start around 1:50.I have the 6.7 oz magwell on my G35, it does help but honestly I feel like it really needs more weight up front. I have a stainless guide rod with a 15 lb recoil spring. Try the tungsten guiderod with a 15lb spring. I am told its the best combination.

Which tungsten guiderod are you going to get? I was just browsing the glockstore website and saw the heavy duty tungsten guiderod but now I have concerns about the spring weight. I want a 15 lb spring weight based on advice from fellow shooters. I am told the tungsten guiderods come with a 17 lb spring.Please advise if you have a better option.

A friend told me once that the polymer framed pistols can be seen bending when in use being fired. can anyone confirm this.....maybe from video playback or something?

Thanks much MarkCo for this post.I had my concerns about this very issue and thanks to you, I will now go with the lighter magwell to reduce on the setting time.Good responses guys, much appreciated.

Thanks Poppa Bear for your response. The tungsten guiderod I intend purchasing should come with the springs already attached. Ammunition wise we do not reload in our part of the woods, so we use regular Walmart ammo.I will also take the advice given by Sweetback and get the heavier magwell and extended baseplates for my magazines.

Hello guys, I have been trying to figure out which combination to use so here is a scenario hope you can assist with. I own a G35 and use it for sport shooting. I have realised that if the pistol is not held firmly when shooting it flips a bit. However, I met a friend who has now installed a heavy duty tungsten guiderod to reduce recoil. I intend doing the same but was wondering if I were to add a magwell to the pistol if the 5.5oz magwell would be better than a 6.7oz magwell.I do not want to buy both magwells to try so if anyone has any advice to offer it would be greatly appreciated. Buying the tungsten guiderod is a must. The question is which magwell would be best for this change. Thanks in advance for your contributions.

......and here I am having a cup of coffee. I hope there is no link with coffee and cramping. I would hate to give practical shooting second place.

+1 Practice, practice, practice......That's what is needed to get it right. I can tell you that it is very necessary in practical shooting. Shooting with one eye when on the move actually hinders your speed and reaction time. Keep at it and you will get the hang of it in time.

+1

I have two glocks (a G25 and a G35) and have had no issues with any of them when hot.

+1...........very effective

+100......Enquiring minds wanna know.

Can I ask what mags were you using and what mag pouches your friend had?

The thought of a DQ scares me. Maybe that's why I don't shoot as fast as I know I can during competition matches.

I think its better if a shooter is told he was close so he is able to be guided for future shoots. It is always better to be on the safe side than on the sorry side in the event of a mishap.

This is the best way to tackle this issue. All shooters should pick up their live ammo after they shoot.

It happened to me as well in an IPSC Level 3 match when I decided to use my friend's G35 with a 6.70z magwell installed and regular mags. In mag changing while running I thought I rammed the mag deep into the magwell, since I don't have one on my G35. Was I wrong when I heard the sound of a dropped mag on the ground. Thank God I had three other magazines on me and just loaded one in the event of a mishap.I can tell you it just messes up your game plan. my team members were so pissed with me as they knew if I had just shot my own gun this would not happen. I tried saving seconds on the shoot but lost seconds in the process.

+2 Practice is what separates the great from the rest. When we see shooting as fun the practice takes you to new heights of joy.
