Braxton1 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) My review: $1550 for a G-35? Not this week.... You can take a $600 gun that will out-shoot 99% of the people who ever touch it with the factory barrel, put a magwell on it ($75), add the correct ISMI spring and an extra-long tungsten guide rod ($67), get some Warren/Sevigny sights ($75), do a "25 cent trigger job" ($0.25), apply some grip tape ($0.75), and spend $732 on reloading components. Oh, I forgot the expense of two Dremel sanding drums for the grip re-contour ($1.50). Make it $730.50 worth of reloading components! We're talking about a gun that weighs about 27.6 ounces STOCK with a magazine, maybe 31 with the magwell, guide rod, and steel sights. You're already 10-12 ounces lighter than any STI/SV out there. Most people are trying to put weight INTO a Glock, not taking it out with fancy and expensive cuts. At the end of the day, you'll be much better off.

caz41 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Do pretty everything Braxton listed, and, pay a good smith $100 to do whatever slide lightening you want, spend 100-200 on an aftermarket trigger (choose which one) and you still will be $500 ahead of the game.

Parallax3D Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Braxton, the "fancy expensive cuts" are to increase slide cycling speed and decrease percieved recoil. Still not work $730, but they do have a purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67 LS1 Camaro Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Wow nice gun ! I would have to comb my hair and wear nice polo to match that . If your having a bad match day , at least you'll look good . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braxton1 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) Braxton, the "fancy expensive cuts" are to increase slide cycling speed and decrease percieved recoil. Still not worth $730, but they do have a purpose. I understand the intent behind them, but most shooters on the planet could never take advantage of the speed increase because that speed increase occurs within the envelope of "cycle time" which is WELL inside that of "trigger time". In other words, the gun cycles (from primer ignition to "back in battery and ready to go") in less than 0.06 seconds. REALLY REALLY REALLY good shooters can't do a double-tap with a split much faster than .10 or .11, because their fingers just don't move much faster than that. And we're talking "limit of human function" times here, not "realistic split times on a target during a competitive course of fire" times. If we decrease the cycle time to 0.05 seconds, the shooter will not see a .01 decrease in split times. If the gun is very well-tuned with recoil spring weights balancing out the inertia of the slide moving back and forth, then the cuts would be unnecessary and really only useful for decreasing the total weight of the gun. (I say that within a certain context, because super heavy slides do make a gun feel "lopey", especially when combined with heavy bullets, but I've never heard a 40 Major described as "having lopey recoil" in a 28-ounce gun.) And being a real "smarty pants" here, even if the gun cycles .01 seconds faster, then my hard earned money is spent at a rate of $73,000 per second of improvement...

the duck of death Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I got $1000 in a G34 open gun . KKM barrel/comp, Fast Fire II red dot, Ice heavy mag well, my 2lb trigger job. I'm not impressed in their $1500 Glock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's lots of race teams that would pay that price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Agree with Braxton. $1550 with a stock barrel and the upgrade is a drop in KKM. Come on, that is just part changer stuff, not highly customized, as is implied. Edited October 26, 2011 by MarkCO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remington4Life Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I lifted my truck for $5000 the same month I bought it new, the factory had one already lifted for $18000 more. Same thing I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blcksmk Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Your better off buying yourself a brand new G35 and putting all the parts you want on it while keeping the factory barrel. Everyone else has already done the math to prove its a better choice then buying a $1500 Glock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbon9 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 If you want it, get it! It's your money, not ours. I know exactly where you are coming from, I bought one of the Salient Arms International $2500 Glock 34s and everybody thought I was crazy for it. If I had the chance to go back and do things differently..... I wouldn't! It shoots unbelievably well. There is something to be said for buying a complete package/concept and having a company stand behind it. Just ask them all those hard customer service questions before buying to make sure they will. I would get the extra barrel as well but get it threaded for if you ever want to build an Open Glock. Good luck for whatever you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
