Glock G35 Gen3 .40 S&W Long-Slide Competition Pistol – Discontinued Austrian-Made Model
The Glock G35 Gen3 is the long-slide .40 S&W designed for IPSC and USPSA competition. This full-size pistol combines a 5.25-inch barrel, polygonal rifling, and a factory lightening window in the slide to deliver a flat-shooting, fast-tracking platform. Built in Austria and now discontinued, this Gen3 variant retains the standard single recoil-spring assembly and the original small, non-reversible magazine catch.

What’s Included
- Glock factory hard case
- Two 15-round Glock steel-lined polymer magazines
The 5.25-inch steel barrel uses Glock’s polygonal rifling, enhancing bullet seal and simplifying maintenance. Combined with the long slide and 7.56-inch sight radius, the pistol offers precise sight alignment and reduced muzzle rise during rapid strings.
A lightening window in the slide reduces reciprocating mass, helping the striker-fired action cycle smoothly with the 4.5-pound connector. Shooters can expect a crisp, consistent trigger break suited to match stages.
The Gen3 frame lacks interchangeable back-strap capability and uses the small, non-reversible magazine catch found on earlier Glock models. Standard texturing provides a secure hold even when hands are sweaty or gloved.
Factory adjustable polymer sights feature a white-dot front and a serrated rear, allowing quick elevation changes without tools. The standard single recoil-spring assembly provides reliable function and manageable recoil impulse.
Austrian proof marks on the slide confirm its origin, and production has ceased as of 2025, adding scarcity for enthusiasts seeking a competition-ready .40 S&W Glock.
