Let's talk Glock.

[HA556]

Stripped the 35 down for a going over before taking it up to Lucky's. Lots of wear but, over all looks in good shape. Rifling is still good but, the finish as you can see is pretty worn. Keep barrel and powder coat or, new KKM stainless? I'm leaning toward the stainless but, decisions decisions.

 

[HA556]

The bottom of the grip is in pretty rough shape also. Should I magwell it or maybe have it trimmed up to look clean? Or, just leave it?

All of my Glocks are Gen 3, and the only thing I do to all of them is replace the ejector (part number 336 for G19/17) with the ejector from the Gen 4 (part number 30274 for G19/17). This modification cures any brass-to-the-face problems that can sometimes occur with the Gen 3 Glocks.

I also usually chop the "nub" off of the slide release since my natural grip sometimes rides the extension while shooting (long fingers), but that's just a modification specific to me.

Besides that I leave everything factory.

Enjoy your new Glock!

Those are 9mm ejectors.
OP has a 40, so different can o' worms.

BTW best Glock 9mm ejrctor is 47021.
Buy TMH 47208 to get that ejector.
This is the Gen5 ejector.

30274 is the Gen4 ejector.
And they have improved on that.

G35 is a comp gun and that one has some rounds through it.
Bench the gun to see how it's shooting.
Glock barrels are usually very good unless this one is worn out.

KKM are very good as well.
I have two.
Good company.

Definitely a former comp gun.
Magwells get torn up.
You could put a magwell funnel on it.

My favorites are :
Agency
SLR
Steel City

In no particular order

This mag release had me thinking the same thing.

Favorite Glock trigger is Overwatch TAC
G35 shipped with a "Minus" connector which is a very good connector.

In a range Glock I use a 4lb Wolff striker spring.
I like the stock 5lb trigger spring.
Some preach aftermarket 6lb trigger spring but that degrades reset quality.

Doing a little looking around I guess I should say, I'm going to do a semi-custom job to the 35!

Cerakote slide and mag bottoms to match
Barrel upgrade
Tungsten guide rod
Possible trigger
Different night sights (I'm not to particular on the current ones)
Different Mag release (Has an extended one on it but, don't care much for it either)

Anything I'm missing?

Yes...............it's .40 Caliber. That's why it was only $450. All my Glocks are chambered for 9MM. So when the SHTF and you run out of ammo, I'll just toss you one of my 9MM's instead.

Thanks but, my EDC is a G48. I've had a number of Glocks over the years.

I saw that in the pics.
In a Gen3 I like the Vickers mag release.
He nailed it on correct length for Gen3.

I find Glock standard to be too short and Glock extended to be too long.

 

[HA556]

Yeah, I find this one way to long for my liking. It will get changed out also.

I thought that you had mentioned that. I'm a fan of calibers that I can control. I'm too old to change now. Did your pistol come with the laser?

 

[DirectDrive]

Yes...............it's .40 Caliber. That's why it was only $450. All my Glocks are chambered for 9MM. So when the SHTF and you run out of ammo, I'll just toss you one of my 9MM's instead.

40 is popular with gamers because it makes power factor easily.

 

[HA556]

Did your pistol come with the laser?

No laser. It is a Chinese Surefire clone and did come with the gun. I took it off and through it in the junk bin for now. Not sure I'm going to use a light on this as, I am planning a good set of night sights. The ones on it are dead.

The mail just delivered my fiber optic sites that I'll be putting on my G26.

Post a pic here and let me know how you like them.

I will do that. We're going to a rehearsal dinner sometime today (my oldest granddaughter is getting married tomorrow) and Ma' doesn't want me to go out to my shop!

Good catch, I missed that his was .40

Thanks for the info on the Gen 5 ejectors, I've never used them so I didn't know if swapping out my Gen 4 ejectors would make any difference.

 

[Medic!]

Bought mine from Keith.
Police turn in. Looked like it was never issued.

Cost me $425.

I cleaned up the trigger.
And dropped in a KKM .357 barrel.


Shoots nice.

 

[Ops]

ets mags bulge and can become stuck. tango down extened takedown and slide lock, extended mag release.

and everyone loves a butt plug
