will the open slide design of the 35 inhibit the performance of the glock 35 in dirty environments? what's the take on this? |

The purpose of the hole is to reduce the slide mass and thereby use the same spring group as the standard service size family of pistols (i.e. G34/17 recoil spring assy's are interchangeable), although it does indeed help balance. I have often wondered this myself, but have experienced no troubles with the open slides on the 34/35 pistols. I have never intentionally dumped a cup of sand in one either though. Considering the berettas have almost a completely open slide, I don't think it is much of an issue, however. |
