Revopop Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I ran across a complete G24 upper for $350. Thought it might be kind of cool to have, but I'd have to spend a bit more to bet an unported barrel and I could just buy a G17, G19, or some other Glock I don't have for about the same amount of money. Unless there's a real advantage to the longer gun in Limited. Anybody shot both and see a good reason to pick this up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinMike Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I've really liked going from a G22 to a G24. The long slide rocks! The longer sight radius gives me confidence on longer shots and it shoots flatter. Going from a G35...probably not as much difference. You'd still get some extra sight radius. The G24 is too long IMO to pull out of a standard holster though, so you'd have to go with something like a Ghost (that's what I use.) I run a Lone Wolf barrel in mine, which is $100. You could find a cheap G22 to make up the lower and have something suitable for carry or IDPA. Check with Mark at www.summitgunbroker.com, I think he's trying to move some inventory before year end and might be cutting some good deals on rebuilds or police trade-ins. I'd try to talk the seller down to $300 myself, but the G24 and 17L have gotten freakishly high in price lately. Glad I got my G24 before prices shot up. I'd love to have a 17L to play with for steel matches, but I'm waiting until prices come back down to earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scheirere Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I played around with one for almost a year. I eventually went back down to my G35 and recently to a G22. I just didn't like the way the gun reacted under recoil. Perhaps it's only a perception thing but I like the way the shorter slides tracked and transitioned. The longer sight radius of a 24 is a bonus on long shots and I do miss it on those few times I have a long target. But the majority of shots I see in local matches aren't really that far (typically inside 15 yards). I would like to buy another slide or a Lone wolf slide when they become available. Then I would try machining it to see if I can reduce it's weight and see if I'm happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrmn1 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I love my 24. I had both but never shot my 35. Springs make a huge difference in the way a 24 recoils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA Friday Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I have a G24 and a G35 and shot them in USPSA. I have a KKM barrel in the G24. I prefer the 24 over the 35. G24's are only made every 5 years or so and in limited numbers. If you get this and don't like it, you will be able to sell it fairly easy.

Paul Burtchell Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) I own a 24 and much prefer it to the 35. As mentioned earlier in a previous post the only disadvantage would be with a conventional holster. I too, switched to a Ghost holster and it is a great setup. Mine is set up with a KKM barrel and I use a 13# non captured recoil spring and a stainless guide rod. With major loads it is extremely flat. I love it. The advantage with the 35 is its ability to shoot in so many more divisions is USPSA & IDPA. Edited December 5, 2007 by baerburtchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 i shoot a glock 24 as my limited gun. it shoots good, but seems to cycle slow....even with a 15 pound spring. the 6 inch barrel builds velocity...FAST. Harmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
