J-Rob Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'm thinking about getting a new Glock 35 for a "Home Defense/Nightstand" gun and I want to know what you guys think about my choices for setting it up. Gen3 Glock 35 Factory 22rd magazine Sevigny Competition sights Jager Steel guide rod a spring Glock grip plug Talon Grip Tape Surefire X300 with DG switch This is what I came up with. I'm open to suggestions for other options or parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Hi J-Rob, From our forums guidelines... Intent This Forum is for firearm, technique, and conceptual discussions pertaining to training and competition. (And various unrelated topics.) While the occasional defensive shooting post is not prohibited, in general, defensive shooting discussions or debates are discouraged. So, with all that said, I think your set-up is fine. Though adding good ammo is advisable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3-Gun Sweden Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) I expected HD to be High Definition or something. And, oh, it needs to be Gen 4 for it to be working with HD. Edited June 3, 2011 by 3-Gun Sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueOvalBruin Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Make sure to give those 22rd mags a good workout first. I don't think there's a whole lot of history with them yet and the 33rd 9mm mags don't have a great history. My vote would be to change to tritium sights and use the stock recoil spring assy, also ditch the weapon mounted light for a regular handheld one. Is this a backup for a shotgun?

bubbagum Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I would use regular stock mags, nightsights, regular flashlight on top of nightstand (unless you sleep with a night-light) and an 870 close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.roberts Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Any reason why you're thinking of going with a grip plug and not a magwell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Any reason why you're thinking of going with a grip plug and not a magwell? Magwell? Maybe he's expecting a bus load of masked marauders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirveyr Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) Any reason why you're thinking of going with a grip plug and not a magwell? Magwell? Maybe he's expecting a bus load of masked marauders. Just like one would encounter in an IDPA stage. See, now we are back on topic with competition shooting. That my friends is how you save a thread from being locked. Edited June 4, 2011 by sirveyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
427Cobra Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 My 35 is my house pistol, the 22 rounders at least mine is not reliable enough for anything other than range time, i do put in the stock recoil rod assy for house time, and in comps a Jager rod with a Wolf 14 pound spring, I have Sevigny sights on it and use a TLR1 light mounted on the weapon, and I keep a Surefire E2d defender close to it. Figure out the primary purpose of the weapon and tailor it to that intended role, mine is comps, I never was a 40 fan until I bought this pistol.

No it's not backup for a shotgun. I prefer a pistol for a home defense weapon because if I need to use my weak hand for something (phone, carrying child, etc.)I'm not restricted by a long gun. I also prefer a weapon mounted light for this reason too. This thread wasn't meant to discuss how I would employ the weapon if need for self defense but rather how you would configure your Glock 35 for a Home Defense role.

usmc1974 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Just wondering, if you ever watch, "the best defence" on Midways wednesday night at the range. A shotgun with #4 shot don't go though 3 or 4 walls and hurt somebody you might love..... Just a thought. sorry if I am out of line mods.you can remove this post if need be.

double_r76 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I like the TruGrip tape over the Talon. It covers more of the grip, to include the thumb rest area. TruGripUSA My only other input is to watch the DG switch rubbing on whatever holster you use. The holster can usually be Dremeled out for clearance. I'm running without a switch in a Safariland ALS. -Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoleroJesse Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I'd go with the Warren Tactical Tritium front and Sevigny carry rear. If you shoot enough to index the front sight well, you will be able to save the money with a plain rear. That and I prefer to ID with hand held light. Given the price of a good surefire light you can probably buy enough clappers to cover your whole house with em... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
