Difference between Glock 17/22 vs. 34/35

ducati,

Does it feel faster, or do you have some timer data that proves it to be faster?

Flex and Ducati,

For me the 17 feels faster and more natural, but I shot the longer 34 and 35 when I was exclusively shooting Glocks in USPSA. I would also like to see time at a given distance between drawing and shooting two well placed alphas on each of two targets, then reloading and shooting 2 well placed alphas on the same two targets to be sure(checking draw, split, transition, and reload). This would have to be repeated several times before you could determine a difference. Your experience with a particular sight radius could be a factor too. I have always had faster 10 yard plate rack runs with the shorter guns, even the 26. I am starting to prefer the 17, but I haven't sold that 34 yet.

I just like the way my G22 feels with major PF loads as compared to the G35. I sold the G35, so I can't do any specific tests to provide objective data though.

I started out with the 35 with a magwell the gun just didn't fit. I pulled out a 17 with a magwell the fit was better. No more 35. The 17 makes it to the match when I don't play with the 1911.
