The Glock 35 is a pistol designed to fire .40 S&W ammunition. Its is the sister pistol to the Glock 34, which is identical in appearance, but is chambered in 9mm. The Glock 34 & 35 were introduced as "Practical Tactical" pistols, designed to bridge the gap between standard service models like the Glock 22, and full competition pistols like the Glock 17L. The guns sport extended slides to accomodate a .7 inch longer barrel over the standard service models. They also come from the factory with extended magazine release, extended slide stop lever, and 3.5 lb trigger connector. The top of the slide is milled out, creating a hole that is often mistaken for porting or compensating, but is actually designed only to reduce front-end muzzle weight to better balance the gun. The Glock 35 has a standard 15-round magazine capacity.

The "Practical" part of the moniker comes the fact that the guns were designed to meet size requirements for some of the practical shooting sports. The Glock 17L had long been the only competition level pistol from Glock, and its slide length keep it out of some competitions. The "Tactical" comes from the improved muzzle velocities achieved out of the longer barrel, along with the improved sight radius, reduced recoil, and all the parts modifications listed above.
