kmca Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Can someone tell me what's the difference between the 22 and the 35, other than the obvious barrel/slide length? It will be used as a back up for USPSA Limited and Production. Possibly used for GSSF local matches. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The G35 is a good gun for Production or Limited as well as for GSSF matches. The G35 comes with a "-" connector and an adjustable rear sight. Other than the slide length, the slide has a relief cut in the top. Chris Edited April 24, 2013 by cohland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Thanks for your reply. The 22 or 35 will be the back up for an XD in production or a 2011 for Limited. I don't know which one to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliminator Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Extended slide stop and mag release also. In my opinion both are required to make a glock shootable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 So the triggers are also different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cohland Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) So the triggers are also different? The G35 will have a lighter trigger pull, around 4.5-5.5#, due to the use of the "-" connector. I know that the "-" connector is supposed to provide a 3# trigger pull, but I have never measured one as having that effect without other work, and I have measured a number of them. Interestingly, Glock advertises the pull of the Gen4 G35 to be "~5.5 lbs". Chris Edited April 24, 2013 by cohland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I disagree on the extended parts. I as well as a lot of other prefer the non extended mag release and slide stop on a glock. If I am allowed to modify it ie not on a production gun I like a modified rounded over "mid length" mag release which Is an extended on rounded over with all the corners and sharp edges on the top rounded over and between the std one and the extended one If I cant modify it, i run the short one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cohland Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Extended slide stop and mag release also. In my opinion both are required to make a glock shootable. Good catch, I forgot that those parts are included. I'm a lefty, but I have just decided to adapt to the mag release on the left side, and I don't find the extended version to be of any benefit to me. Because I'm a lefty my right thumb is not in any danger of touching the extended Slide Stop Lever (SSL), but I know several right-handed Glock competition shooters who have reverted to the standard SSL because they were inadvertently bumping it with their left thumb, causing either inappropriately-timed slide stops, or having the slide fail to stop when it should. The fact that Glock puts those parts on the guns at least indicates that they are taking some steps to accommodate competitors. I have to admit that reason that I like the G35 for USPSA Production is that a steel target, hit about anywhere by the .40 S&W, will go DOWN, and this has not always been my experience with 9mm. Shooting the 180-grain bullets found in some target ammunition (remember when we could buy target ammunition?), recoil is not a problem as long as you grip the gun reasonably well, at least in my humble experience.

I would consider selling it to get the XD. They are pretty different guns in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven420 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Then the 35 will sell for more than the 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Thanks guys I just put in the request for the 35....unfortunately they said they haven't seen on in 2 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noximus03 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 If you plan to use the G35 for a GSSF match, you will only be able to use it in the "Competition" division and no where else. With the G22, you can enter any full frame division (including competition) and compete. Now, understand that I'm only talking about GSSF, and not any other association.

eliminator Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I should have added, extended parts to make a glock shootable... for me. Slide release is more important than mag release especially with the gen 4 mag release. For me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe D Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Actually the Glock slide release is a non event. The first thing I remove from a 34 or 35 is the extended release. I swap it for a standard with one of my left handed friends. The release can be tweeked a little so you never have to touch it when seating the mag. The slide will go forward automatically.
