Vesteroid Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 This may be a silly question but I cant seem to find an answer. I currently shoot a 35 in production and am considering dipping my feet in the water of Limited. Is it as simple as changing out the barrel on the 34 to make it a .40?

andyroth Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 No, change the full upper (slide, barrel, extractor) and the ejector. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterpuc Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 This may be a silly question but I cant seem to find an answer. I currently shoot a 35 in production and am considering dipping my feet in the water of Limited. Is it as simple as changing out the barrel on the 34 to make it a .40? I can't say I have seen it done quite so easy. I don't think the 40 barrel will fit in the 9mm slide. Also not sure the 40 case will fit in the extractor of 9mm slide/extractor. I would suggest getting a new 40 slide. I have heard some say it didn't matter if the ejector was swapped out, but I would swap it also if it were me. It's cheap.

andyroth Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 You can get away with using a 40 ejector for 9mm, but a 9mm ejector shooting 40 gets dangerously close to the primer when trying to eject a live round.

andyroth Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Change to 40 mags too Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 You need a whole new upper half to go from 9 to .40. To go from .40 to 9 you can just get a conversion barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesteroid Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 ok, thanks. I would just get a 35 in that case since I need mags and all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhett45acp Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I see locally G35 Gen4 factory rebuilt by Glock going for ~500. You will get two Gen4 mags. To me this is a better option then a conversion. You stated you are shooting a G35 in production, but did you mean a G34 and wanting to get a G35??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesteroid Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 yes apparently I cant type I am shooting the 34 and wanted to go to the 35 with higher capacity mags, mag wells etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyroth Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Shoot limited minor for a while. Magwells, frame weights, mag extensions, holsters, etc will work with the 34 or 35 so you can switch whatever you already got over to the new gun when you get it.

Vesteroid Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Thanks Andy, I thought about that, but wasnt sure how that may impact my score / classification as I am just starting out really and want to classify at least at a c level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyroth Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 You're unclassified now right? You'll probably classify a little lower than if you were shooting major, but that's not a bad thing. When you switch to major your classification will likely go up. Until then, enjoy beating everyone in your class. You aren't sandbagging if you are trying your best.

Honeybooboo Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Wait you shoot a 35, but want a 34 for limited and want to switch it to 40? Why not build up the 35 for limited? I'd do an SJC frame weight Brass magwell TTI base pads Flat trigger Would be a sweet limited glock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Shoot limited minor is my suggestion. Shoot A's as they say. It will improve your game in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrocDowns Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I just made my 34 to a 35. Lone wolf slide, found a factory 35 barrel in the classifieds, got a trigger housing with 40 ejector, a 40 extractor with the little plastic bearing thing (forget the true name of it) to go on the end of the plunger got those from lone wolf as well amd found some guys who had extra 40 mags and swapped the my extra 9mm mags, got another guide rod and 15lbs spring from lone wolf and a used frame weight off Facebook. I'm getting my slide Cerakoted and prolly re-use my sights off my 34 slide since I won't be using it anymore all that for right around $350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razerok1 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I may be reading this wrong but if your shooting a This may be a silly question but I cant seem to find an answer. I currently shoot a 35 in production and am considering dipping my feet in the water of Limited. Is it as simple as changing out the barrel on the 34 to make it a .40? Wait if you already have a 35 why not make that your limited gun and shoot the 34 in production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
