rack&roll Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I am selling my G-35 and replacing it with a G-34. (I already have a .40 limited gun.) I want a gun that I can shoot cheap, factory ammo through, and not pickup the brass! My question is: Are the 34 and 35's firing pin assemblies the same? Same striker and housing? I took the Dale Rhea trigger/striker out of my 35, and would like to install it in my new 34 when I get it. Thanks for any input. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterj Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 should drop right in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 It should drop in. Glocks have pretty liberal tolerances. Make certain you have enough striker engagement. If the striker is not caught by the trigger bar you will have a full auto Glock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerjg Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 y dont you just get a conversion barrel for your G35? They are avail from KKM PRECISION. You may also need to change the Trigger Housing w/Ejector and the Extractor for proper function with 9mm. you will also need to replace the mags. Just an option. you should be able to convert it to 9mm for about $240/ less mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Is the striker tip on the 40 a little bit longer than on the 9mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 To make it official ---- 9 and 40 strikers have two different part numbers: 49 for the 9; 4270 for the .40...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 What else is different? I thought the extractors were different and the breech face. I could be wrong. I like your first idea, sell the G35 and buy the 34. A few thousand rounds of Blazer 115s for $100/1000 and away you go. I use to chase shotgun hulls - still do for practice at sporting clays and hated that. I just let the Blazers drop and the gun ammo can make the 50 yard target A zone with no problems if I do my part. On second thought you should keep the G35 as your backup limited gun and buy a G34. I've sold 2 guns in my whole life (45 years old) and wish that I had them both back. That's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I use a Federal 9mm conversion barrel in my G35. Paid $68 for it. I don't change anything except for the mags. I have over 10,000 rounds through it with only 3 failures. One was a failure to feed the other two were caused by a very dirty chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 You would know better than I Joe. My Glock amorer didn't think much of doing a conversion this way though. If it works for you and you are happy - Great and congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Clay, I thought I might have to change out the bearing to a 9mm one. Turns out I did not have to. The 9mm bearing is a little thicker than the .40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Good deal, glad to hear that it worked for you. Came home last night after midnight from an IDPA shoot. Waiting for a friend to go shoot USPSA right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
