jh9 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Currently I'm shooting a 17 in limited minor, and I've been shooting the standard size Glocks (17/22) for years. I've shot but not owned the 35 and 24. Both felt nose-heavy, but made factory .40 ammo a LOT more tolerable. The 24 felt like a 9mm. Can anyone say from experience how a 22 (which is just unpleasant with factory ammo) with a Carver comp would compare to a 35 (either stock or with an inexpensive ported barrel)? Tenatively, I'm planning to pick up either a 22 with a KKM/Carver barrel and comp or a 35 with an inexpensive ported barrel, having a slide-mounted red dot sight (RMR?) installed and buying a couple of the 22-round factory magazines. In terms of Open gun, this looks like about as cheap as it gets. It's not optimal, but for the price it seems really close. I understand I'd lose several rounds compared to 38SC/9major/etc, but the local matches tend to top out around 33-34 rounds for field courses and I wouldn't have to chase ridiculously expensive brass into the weeds. Thoughts? I'd like to play around with a dot-sighted gun, but don't really want to drop 3k on the affair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ickus Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 SJC makes a nice open Kit. add'ed a C MORE dot thats how I made mine (G 34 ) and some taylor freelance mag ext: ( 27 rounds) ... reload for major with MRI sr7625. once I got the recoil spring right... It runs great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stev7783 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I run an open 17 built with both sjc and zev complements in major and runs absolutely amazing, get 29 to a big stick using Taylor freelance extensions. Shooting a 40 might hurt in the long run dealing with lower round counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 If your looking for an inexpensive route check the classifieds for a used glock open gun. They can often be had for pretty cheap when people upgrade. The comp will help some but with factory ammo it's still more flippy than a load made for a compensator you reload. For the optic I would have a regular cmore and mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuentesd99 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I have a G22 and a G35 and they are both set up for shooting Open. The G22 is my main gun and the G35 is my back up. I like the feel of the G22 better then the G35 as far as shooting Open. I have 2 factory 22 round mags with the TF +3 exts., that's 25+1. Ok so I lose between 2-4 rounds against a 9mm, WHO CARES, I can reload ANYWHERE. But if you are going to shoot Open, YOU HAVE TO RELOAD. or it's just pointless. There are more powder options for 40 open then 9 open in a Glock. Feel free to check out my videos and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to PM me and ask. I will be happy to answer all questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
