I'm going to buy the 34 or 35. I'm a beginner and compete in steel challenge and USPSA. I was in the air about buying the 35 and switching to 9mm when doing steel challenge but then back to .40 when doing USPSA (for more points) that way I would get "2 pistols" for price of one (and a 9mm barrel)... I'm wondering if this is a sound idea, or I'd just be sacrificing accuracy or something and should just get the g34 by itself.

Rob, accuracy will not suffer with the 9mm barrel and you will have the benefit of developing muscle memory and trigger feel with the same frame. Pistols are more modular today than in years past.

Michael W. · Answer

Rob, I have done the exact same thing. The quality and accuracy of the 9 mm conversion barrel (several out there) makes your G34/35 a tack driver.If you do a trigger job you have it in for both calibers. Super idea and is more common then you would think. G35 with 9 mm conversion barrel is the way to go.
