One of my local shops has 9 unissued/unfired police trade in gen 4 Glock 35s.
I dry fired one, and thought the trigger was pretty horrid.  From what I've read so far, it looks like that can be remedied with some polishing and springs.
I currently have a couple 1911s, an M&P 40, and I carry a M&P Shield. Both of my M&Ps have Apex trigger kits in them,  and I think they're great.  
I don't really need it, but for $489, I don't know if I can resist it.....help meeeee

I'd have purchased one.

Do the .25c trigger job.

Apex just came out with a trigger for the Glock.. Seems like good timing for you.. Get one...

Generally speaking (IME anyway) New triggers suck and need to be broken in by shooting a couple hundred rounds.

You should buy one.

You won't regret it, it'll probably lead to a 34 too. That's what happened to me anyway.

Yea but it doesn't change the action at all. Just a metal, flat faced trigger. I like Glock triggers and like the look of the apex though.

Try a rental. Once you get used to a Glock trigger, you won't want to shoot anything else.

I can never judge a trigger by dry-fire alone.

They seem to take on different characteristics when shooting live ammo.

If you are used to 1911's and tricked out triggers yes by comparison the glock trigger may feel crappy. This is an apples to oranges thing.
Once you learn and master the glock trigger the fact it is a bit heavier becomes meaningless. I swap between several 1911's glocks and revolvers and I am a lucky shooter who really doesn't have any loss of performance moving between platforms but some have a hard time with this.
Do yourself a favor and learn and master the trigger before messing with the gun. You will be much better off in the long run

I need a G35 for competition but I already have 2 G34.3's and want a Gen4 to add to the group.  I would jump on the Deal you have at hand.

You all were supposed to talk me out of it.  
I went and picked one up today, brought it home and checked it over.
The trigger pull noted on the box is 5.5lb.  Every pull on my Timney  gauge came came out at 6.5-7lb. It's not gritty, and breaks pretty nicely.
I took it to the range and put 150rds through it.  It's a nice shooter, and didn't have any issues at all.  It piled the brass neatly just over my right shoulder.
With the heavy trigger, however, I'm consistently shooting left.
I'm going to try to polish everything, and see if I can get the pull down to a more reasonable weight.
I'd like to to be 4.5-5lb

And to answer the why the 35 instead of the 34 question......I don't own any 9mm pistols anymore  .45>.40>9mm

Keep shooting it or do the trigger job, it'll get down to the listed weight on the box.

ETA:  Maybe not the 4.5-5 you're looking for though, not in box stock condition anyways.
