Prob not much ... you can see all on uTube.

It was the hands on working on NOT your gun that was good :)

But I also met a good number of people, and you see/handle the newer models

Just a hint of holster wear on the front of the slide and a faint smiley on the barrel. Just doesn't look like it was shot very much. This is the first G35 I've owned. Don't even recall shooting one.

Plans are to get a 9mm conversion barrel as well as a 357sig barrel for it to make it a 3-N-1 pistol.

Figured it would be a good pistol to take to the Outlaw matches as well.

I got a Lone Wolf 9mm conversion barrel for the G35 a while back. Finally got around to getting an Alpha Wolf 357sig barrel for it as well making in another 3-in-1 caliber pistol. Planning on going to the range in a couple of weeks to test it and a few other pistols out.
A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

I have been interested in the "Glock Clones" since they first started showing up a few years ago. While I love the standard Glock, I do always add certain upgrades to make it better for me. I figured I'd try out some clones to see if they come closer to my liking out of the box.
I've posted my Shadow Systems XR920 on here before. They pretty much nailed it with that one. I lightened the trigger a little (because I'm a snob), but overall it's great. It has become my nightstand gun because it's a bit shorter and that makes a difference with the suppressor.

I've noticed the Zev OZ9 coming down in price as the newer versions come out. I jumped on a deal for a fullsize.
First impressions are that the ergos are a bit off for me. The feel is just a little different than I'm used to. Not bad necessarily, but will take a little acclimation.
There's a rough section of stippling that rubs directly on my thumb knuckle. I'll smooth that down if I decide to keep it.
Trigger is basically stock Glock bad so I'll add some springs and a connector. Should shape up well.

Replaced springs and smoothed that rough grip spot. Still not the lightest trigger, but knocked about a pound and a half off. I'll try to get it out for test firing soon. Weather isn't very helpful this time of year.
