Aircooled6racer Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Hello: I am looking for some info on setting up a Glock 35 for 3-gun. I am looking for magwell suggestions, guide rods, mag releases and whatever else you feel is needed. I have the Glock, DOH holster, great sights and Arredondo base pads. I appreciate any info/comments even if they have commedy relief in them Thanks,Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolex Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I used Dawson Ice heavy mag well, and full length guide rod,ISMI 13lb spring. And a super trigger from C. Vanick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Grip tape. Your good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4045 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Mine is stock except for sights. I am going away from the doh, gonna Comptac. I run the 15 rd mags, no mag ext. If I need more capacity I go to my STI. +++ n the grip tape. Got tired of the CZ?? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Mike: I sold the CZ and I am Glocking it for a while I still have a couple of STI's I built plus that 6" topend setup that I need to fit to a frame. I just figured I'd stay with the Glocks this year between shooting production G17 the G35. So far Dawson heavy Ice magwell, grip tape and full length guide rod(which full length guide rod?). I have a couple of old Glock mags with the Arredondo +5, they hold 22 reloadable rounds. I am not sure about the aftermarket mag releases since they will eject the mags for me on table starts Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadeslade Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Get the Glock factory extended mag release-works great and gun is up just enough on table starts. No problems with mags dropping. Try a plastic plug instead of a magwell-more streamlined setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00bullitt Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I have my 35 setup very similar to my Production 34. I added the Seattle Slug Plug and run some Arredondo +5 extensions to the 35. the Seattle Slug really helps balance the 35 when shooting major PF ammo. I do not care for magwells as I've shot production long enough that my reloads are flawless. My 34 is stippled and so is my 35. Both guns run the same adjustable sights with Dawson FO up front. Glock extended mag release and non extended slide stop. I run an overtravel screw in the trigger housing to control overtravel and use the Lone Wolf 3.5# connector. And then do a full polish on the trigger components. I run the 13# ISMI spring on an ISMI guiderod in the 34 and a 15# ISMI in the 35. Other two springs are factory. Both guns run KKM barrels. But I tend to use the 34 in 3 gun more than the 35. I use the Arredondo +5 pads on my 9mm mags and get 23 round cpapcity. I use the 34 in all matches with no power factor. I used to use my STI for 3 gun but quit fighting the urge and realized I shoot the Glock sooo much better that I just started shooting the plastic.

Duane Thomas Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Get the Glock factory extended mag release-works great and gun is up just enough on table starts. No problems with mags dropping. Try a plastic plug instead of a magwell-more streamlined setup. In my experience, if you don't have a mag well (or a clip-on flashlight, for that matter) lifting the gun off the surface on which it's laid, the factory extended mag catch will indeed cause the mag to drop on a table start. I've seen that happen with a shooter as skilled as Dave Sevigny at the 2002 Factory Gun Nationals. If you're going to run the extended button, you also want a mag funnel, IMO, or it's going to get you into trouble. Either both or neither.

Flexmoney Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 The ONLY time I have ever had any trouble with the extended mag release on table starts is when the leaf spring that works the mag release had worn out and developed a crack. (rare...took years of heavy use) I don't use a mag well. Extended mag release is the Glock part. Oh...and, I do NOT tweak the mag spring. If I ever experience issues with the mag release during table starts, I know to check and replace my mag release spring. I would suspect that anybody that runs a tweaked mag spring might see issues with table starts that aren't there with the stock part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 G35 for 3-Gun is easy. Magwell is personal preference. All the other doo-hicky's are personal preference. Frankly, replace the sights with some good adjustables, get a trigger job on it and call it done. If you really want a magwell, I'm pretty well in love with the JP that's on my carry/night stand G22. For competition, going with the Seattle Slug and probably CGR's brass magwell would do the trick too. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane, this almost seems like deja vu (but the last time we were talking extended slide releases and you turned out to be right), but I'm with Flex on this one. One G-34 with the extended release since 2000, the other since 2006 --- I've yet to drop a mag after a table start.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Hello: So it looks like I just need to get a 15lb recoil spring(I use a 13lb ISMI now), ISMI guide rod and a brass Seattle slug. I have a bunch of Arredondo base pads and 20 or so high cap mags. I also shoot Production with a Glock 17 for now so the no magwell makes sense. Keep all the great info coming.

Duane Thomas Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Well, I'm always open to learning. And I do run a tweaked mag spring. Apparently "tweaked mag spring plus extended button" is a bad combo but "non-tweaked mag spring plus extended button" is copacetic. See, I just learned something today.

Glockcomma Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 If you have a g35 you should already have the factory extended mag release. I used to replace all my mag release springs with .047 piano wire but I had a few involuntary mag changes especially with 9mm major so I returned to factory .050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I used to replace all my mag release springs with .047 piano wire Why, just out of curiosity? Easier compression of the button? I've found I can accomplish the same thing just by pulling the stock spring out of the gun, bending it slightly, then reinserting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Duane: The smaller diameter wire would make the mag release easier to press. You are correct on bending the original wire to do the same thing. I have had 2 table starts where I released the factory extended mag release where I had bent the wire to make it lighter I now use a stock straight wire.

Duane Thomas Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Thanks, Eric. I'll have to experiment with that myself. Though I have to admit I'm not having any problems with the standard button/tweaked spring combo there's always room for improvement, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hello: Any more comments or suggestions? I have to order some parts for my G17 as well like a metal guide rod etc. Do the tungsten ones hold up in a Glock? Let me know.
