| Anybody have one of these if so how do you like it, What type of holster do you use with it, Any info helpful Thanks |
| I carry one every day at work and have for 11 years. My agency has had them as their issued weapon for about 12-13 years. I own and have carried the gen 3 and gen 4. Both have been reliable and accurate guns. If you like .40 they are a good gun. I have had no regrets on buying my wife's and my duty guns when we had the buyback option for the gen 3 and the first gen 4 we were issued. On duty we carry in a safariland als. For USPSA I use a bladetech stingray with a doh attachment. |

I have one and liked it so much that I bought a 34, 41, and 40. It definitely lives in the shadow of the 34 but only due to the popularity of 9mm vs .40 for competition. Honestly I haven't shot it much since I got the 34, but I figured if I was only going to have one .40 might as well be a kick ass .40. It will fit in most Glock holsters as long as you keep in mind it has to be a holster that allows the slide to poke through the bottom. I only have one specific holster for it and that's a Safariland ALS made for the 34/35 with TLR-1. This holster will also fit the 41 but it's a little more snug. I keep it loaded for HD with a light on it because I don't EDC a light on my 19 and a light on a 34 is a no go for IDPA, so instead of putting on and taking it off I just leave it on the 35 for HD purposes. Useless factoid: I won my first IDPA competition using it, and it was also my first time shooting it. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Safariland ALS for the holsters, I have a paddle (6378), duty (6360) and drop (6304?). I've also used a leather pancake style with an open bottom (I think it's a Gould and Goodrich), and a SERPA. I have a Comptac CTAC that will fit it but it's not really the best IWB gun. |

It's definitely an underrated gun. The only reason not to get one is if you just don't like .40. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Mine is a tack driver. I carry it in a Comp-tac CTAC If you can carry a 1911 Govt. you can carry the 35. I sue it for my bed side gun too. It is awesome with an X300U |

I love mine,
I went looking for one to shoot USPSA production or limited during our outdoor season. I could not find one anywhere. As a last ditch effort I went to a small store half hour away. Not only did they have one, but it was being sold used(no signs it had ever been fired)  but is was a smoking deal. $450!
I shot it in about 20 matches, did pretty good for my first year. Then I started to carry it, it works just fine. I always keep my eye out for a good deal on a 34 to have both. |

I plan on picking up a gen 4 G35 and making it a USPSA Limited gun. Currently using a gen 4 G34 for Production at the moment.
I'm currently using a DAA PDR Pro holster and it will still be a decent Limited holster while still being Production legal. Here's a overview of the DAA PDR Pro and Blade Tech Revolution https://youtu.be/JNzO0p4R6wE |

I shoot one in IPSC "Standard" because the 34 and 35 are not legal for IPSC production. Factory adj sights with a Pyramid trigger kit and Bladetech DOH holster.
I also have an aftermarket 9mm barrel for it and it almost acts like a bull barrel in the 35. Just need 9mm mags. |

I just bought a G35 its kind of a consignment deal waiting for a rifle to sell and my LGS works with me I buy and trade a lot, So my 35 is in but waiting on the rifle to sell, I have a XD 40 SC for everyday want the 35 for woods carry and camping etc, Will get a lone wolf conversion for 9mm, I know I know the 9mm is the cats meow for some just not my cup of tea, I went in half and bought my son a 9mm and his wife shoots 9mm, But if it doesn't have a 4 in it I'm just not interested, I have however switched to a SP 101 4.2" for woods carry and I love it, Also want a G41 next, I like accuracy and everything I have is accurate I'm sure G34 is very accurate, But with the conversion I can shoot 9mm for cheap practice. But if you have to submit your gun to +P+ or whatever you might as well just shoot a 40 or 45 IMHO and be done with it, I hand load so I can take em up or down anyway. I just wondered How people who own them like them and how they shoot. I hear they are very good and the 35 should help with recoil or snap that a lot complain about but compared to my 44 mag the 40 is pretty tame to me. As I get older and arthritis is affecting my hands who knows I may wind up a 9mm advocate, One thing Ive learned is never say never, I swore I would never have a 357 Mag, I love my SP 101 Thanks to all replys and I'm looking for a holster so Thanks for that info

I really like mine, except for the mag release. It is a gen 3 and is my around the house gun. I have though about selling it for a G34, but I may just buy a conversion barrel for it and reshape the mag release. Not sure yet as it is my only .40 cal gun. Everything else is 9 or 45.
