If you want a Glock 34, then you should buy a Glock 35, here's why

If you want a glock 34, then you should buy a glock 35! with just a simple barrel swap (and a swap to a bull barrel at that!!) you can get 2 calibers. If you were going to buy a threaded 9mm aftermarket barrel for a glock 34; then then glock 35 really is the vastly superior choice.

[@brettywap2295]

Been saying this since the days of $300 gen3 23s. I used to only get .40s exclusively because you can convert them. Great in a shtf scenario because your chance of being able to shoot found ammo goes up by a caliber.

[@GunBigotHater]

I have thought of this too. You can also put a 357 SIG barrel in it, making essentially, a 3 caliber kit, with which, you could compete AND hunt. The heavier barrel would take more to move, thus dampening felt recoil and muzzle flip.

[@ryanstewart1521]

I was wondering that, thanks. Definitely want to get the 357 kit for it.

[@heberlara6079]

Glad I found this video as a first time buying a gun, I was about to go for the 34 but this just changed my mind!

[@99Racker]

I have Model 22 and 23 with 9mm barrels, and mags for the same reason. I can add a .357 Sig barrel if desired. Oh, I also have one .22 Glock conversion barrel, slide and mags. This is a traveler kit. Thanks for the video.

[@maxmccain8950]

Let me see. With conversion barrels you can shoot 9mm, 40, 357 Sig and with a conversion kit you can shoot 22 lr. Four calibers for the same gun. It’s great, I know, that’s exactly what I did. I love it.

[@mrrustygray]

I bought a used 23, popped in a threaded 9mm conversion with a long compensator for my MCK. Works great. Now I can run 9mm suppressed, compensated, or swap to my .40 barrel and run a bit hotter ammo.

[@miduv82]

You stated was I was thinking. I also have the G35 and the benefit of having a thicker barrel for a 9mm swap is a no brainer as it helps with muzzle flip. If you're shooting subsonic 9mm loads get a tungsten recoil guide rod and a set of springs with different pound ratings. I had to play around with a few different options for cycling well for subsonic 9mm while using a muzzle compsinsator. I've almost eliminated any barrel flip. I don't understand why people buy the G34 when the G35 is basically a transformer and can do anything with it. 75% of the internals are swapped out and have it down to just switching springs and barrels for the different loads and calibers. I never tried using the 9mm rounds in the 40 magazines. Just bought a few 9mm magazines (couple of fun sticks). Not to mention 9mm is slightly cheaper to practice with than 40.

[@briank3194]

You are exactly right. My 9mm barrel for my G35 is heavier and thicker than the stock 40 barrel. I also have 357 Sig barrel which is also ported.

Another advantage (assuming that glock didn't beef up their frames across their entire line up) is that glock had to beef up the frames on the 40cal pistols due to fram cracking. So the 35 is going to be a tougher pistol.

I don't think so. The G34 is a 9mm so the barrel hole would be smaller and wouldn't fit the 40cal barrel.

[@Pezzonovante916]

Thank you for the interesting presentation. I would like to raise three points (concerns questions). How is the fitment of the 9mm barrel to the diameter of the barrel opening of a .40 caliber slide? For reliability when shooting 9mm, would you have to exchange the ejector from the ejector for .40 to the ejector for 9mm? Ditto for the extractor?

[@brandomarley]

You're basically going from -.005 10mm to 9mm so the barrel still fits Because the conversion is designed to but the point is that it weighs more to fill that almost 1mm of space. It means with a heavier barrel you get less muzzle flip

[@calholli]

First.. the barrel diameter is perfect... Noted: you can't use a regular 9mm barrel, you have to specifically buy a "conversion barrel", so that the outer diameter fits the g35, while the inner is the 9mm. (hints why he likes it, because it makes the barrel thicker, basically being a bull barrel).... Next, a 9mm ejector is bent compared to the .40, which is straight... .. It should be fine, unless you are having reliability issues, then you should probably get the 9mm ejector.......... But if it was the other way around and you leave your 9mm ejector in there and swap back to .40, shooting .40 with a 'bent 9mm ejector, then it could possibly hit the primer--- so make sure you have the .40 (straight) ejector when shooting the .40... I'm not sure about the extractor, I think it's close enough that it should still work for both.

[@briank3194]

I have a G35 with 2 additional barrels. 9mm and 357 Sig which I have owned and have been shooting for over 10 years. The 9mm barrel is thicker the entire length. As for the ejector, I haven’t changed anything except for purchasing a couple of 9mm mags. Zero issues with ejection. You can use the stock G35 mag in 40 cal for the 357 Sig cartridge if you decide to get the 375 barrel
