pls help me decide.
which one is better in: accuracy, reliability, feel/recoil, cost, ammos, etc.
I need a handgun that is just good out of the box. I heard Glocks dont tolerate reloads. How true is this? What's my safe choice of the two. Thanks for your help.

Accuracy/reliability- equal

feel(?)- identical frames

recoil- 35 slightly more

reloads- fine if they are quality reloads. (stock glock barrels just don't tolerate lead bullets).

I have no issues using reloads in either my G34 or G35.

They are both great guns. My G34 gets more use becuase I shoot it in USPSA, Steel Challenge, GSSF. It is just a little lighter in the recoil dept.

The G35 sees range time when shooting bowling pins, and other games where I need more power than a 9mm

They are both extremely accurate guns

what's the specifics on using reloads on a G35? do you recommend fmj slugs? thanks.

For Full power loads I use 180 grain jacketed hollow points with Power Pistol.

For soft shooting target loads I used 165 grain Rainier Plated hollow point bullets with Winchester Super Field Powder

I just shot my first IPSC match with my brand spankin new G35. From what I've been told, if you even think you are going to be shooting steel, go .40 instead of 9mm. 40 helps knock it down a bit better, if I hit it..........lol

I know that new sights are the first thing I'm going to get. Those ought to be small enough to get in the house past the mrs, lol. I'll probably get the Dawsons this week:cool:
