I want to get a Glock34/35 for range use. I will get a Lone Wolf threaded conversion barrel so I can shool lead or use the suppressor. Is there any down side to getting a model 35 and the 9mm conversion barrel? I will mostly shoot 9mm but that gives me the .40 option.
Thanks

No, however, if you wanted to compete remember that a G35 shooting 9mm would not be considered a stock class firearm.  That said, I'd much rather have a G35 than a G34.  You might also want to consider a G24 with a LW threaded conversion barrel to G17L.  
I really like the longslide versions.  Besides my custom G20/21L, I also converted my G22 into a custom G24 with a LW slide without the cutout.






I'm not a fan of cutout slides.

Hey nice set up, who makes the slide for your custom G20/21L, I'd love to get the front serrations like that... litttle different than the LW and very cool.

thanks,

The G20/21L's magwell is from Lightning Strike.  I looked on their website and they only list the black annodized version that they claim works on Gen 2 only.  My stainless version works fine on my Gen 3, however, I did have to open up the throat where it meets the bottom of the grip to seat the mags easily.  It really makes a big difference with your grip as it keeps you hand up high on the pistol for much better control.

It is a German steel slide I got from LW in 2004 and not made anymore.  I hard chromed it a few years ago.  This is what it looked like on my G21 when I first installed it.  Melted Bo-mar rear sight, front serrations, and full 6" slide length.  It's success is part of the reason that JR decided to produce ss longslides for Glocks.

Is there any way to get one of the long slides with Glock type serrations on it?
