Well thanks you guys for the info and I'm sure I will be glad with my first handgun. Hell if I fall in love with it glock maybe the only brand handgun I buy. I just talked to my friend and he is throwing in his glock belt holster too

 

[HICKMAN]

Clarification please : Are you saying they shouldn't fire +P ?

+P is fine, just no lead

 

[HICKMAN]

I have heard alot of good things about their barrels, but i do not have any personal experience with them. Lone Wolf are good barrels and they are drop in. BarSto are nice, but semi drop in so they may require minor gunsmithing to be fitted perfect.

Storm Lake are may favorite replacement barrels.

That said, I shot my G34 with the factory barrel since I used WWB from Walmart all of last season.

You can reload just fine with the factory glock barrel, just buy barrys bullets, they are lead that is copper washed, no biggie $40/500

If you search the term "glock" here there's a wealth of information.

Also, There's a magazine called GLOCK AUTOPISTOLS you can pick up at your local bookstore - an interesting read!

Just a few words about lead bullet reloads. In 9mm, I wouldn't worry like I would if I was loading .40. There are several factors in the .40 Glocks that have made using lead bullets an issue, or part of an issue that can lead to catastrophic issues with the barrel. If you were going to buy a barrel in 9mm to use in this pistol, and didn't want to buy a match type barrel, you could get a Glock factory (assuming it is a direct replacement?). That would let you use Glock fired brass, as opposed to fully resizing your brass to run in a match barrel chamber.

He is wanting 350 for the gun with two mags and a nice case. He has kept it in his safe when he wasn't carring it around. Would that be a good buy. I plan on reloading my ammo. Any tips on reloading

That is what I call a no brainer. Can't go wrong at that price and for your stated wants and needs. Let us know what you do!

A Glock OEM 9mm barrel will not function on a 40 S&W Glock as a conversion barrel. The 40S&W barrel is quite a bit wider. A 9mm OEM barrel will seem to fit, but there will be a ton of slop where the barrel end mates with the slide, and there is a good chance that breechface alignment will be off.

You will need to go aftermarket to get a conversion barrel to shoot 9mm out of your G35.

But I agree with your experiences with lead bullets. No problems here shooting lead reloads out of the 9mm glocks. Wouldn't attempt it in a 40 with the OEM barrel though.

I hear the .40 brass shot out of a Glock is hard to re-size, is that true? I have shot reloads off of the same guy for over 40 years and he told me the other day he had to buy a special machine to re-size the .40 brass. He said the conventional way squashes the case a little and fatigues the brass.

is right... I've reloaded lots of 40, much of it fired from Glocks, and have yet to have a problem. I use a Lee factory crimp die in my last station to fix the bulge.
I think the "glocked brass" problem is way overblown.

Don't take this wrong, I'm just telling you more I remember about what he said. He loads thousands and thousands of 40's every year for most of the ranges and private sales around this area and I think some in Indy. Anyway, he was telling me he bought this special re-sizing mach just for 40's for about $3500. and was going to have to add another one and the price had went up to over $6k. I just wondered why you would spend that kind of money if it wasn't needed.

Oh, the re-loader is B&K Bullet Casting of Peru if you know of him.
