The GLOCK 35 GEN4 Direct is the competition-ready .40 S&W variant, engineered for shooters who demand precision at distance. Its extended slide and barrel length provide a longer sight radius and reduced muzzle flip, making it a top choice for practical shooting sports and duty use. We added this model to our catalog in early 2024 based on consistent, positive feedback from our customers and our own hands-on experience. This is the model our staff personally uses for our in-shop Glock demonstrations.
Key Features
- Gen4 Platform: Features the Modular Back Strap system for customizable grip circumference and the reversible magazine catch for left or right-handed operation.
- Competition-Ready Design: The extended slide and 5.32-inch barrel offer enhanced velocity, a longer sight radius for improved accuracy, and superior recoil management.
- Dual Recoil Spring Assembly: The captive steel guide rod and dual spring system significantly dampens felt recoil and extends component life.
- Rough Textured Frame: The Gen4 RTF4 pattern provides a secure, non-slip grip in all conditions without being overly aggressive.
- Proven Reliability: Built on the legendary GLOCK “Safe Action” system, it delivers the same rugged dependability expected from the platform, now optimized for .40 S&W performance.
