The extended, checkered magazine release button is on the left side of the frame for right handed shooters.

Installed, is a ZEV Technologies extended guide rod. The barrel has three ports on the top to aid in felt recoil reduction and measures 0.569” at the muzzle. Since this pistol is mounted with a Leupold Deltapoint, a large cocking handle is present for speed and grip familiarity.

Our Assessment: This ZEV / Glockworx custom G35 is a looker and a shooter in every regard. Both eyes can remain open during shooting, thanks to the custom installed Leupold Deltapoint. Follow up shots are greatly enhanced by the adjustable trigger, ported barrel and finely balanced slide. A large cocking handle is milled into the slide, assisting in swift reloads. The frame has a beveled magazine well that eliminates the ‘slop’ of a reload under pressure. This pistol can be outfitted with different recoil springs, to balance heavier loads or accommodate light target rounds. The pistol just feels right, with the added pointer-finger notch in the trigger guard. The frame has been sanded down by ZEV, removing the finger grooves on the front strap, retaining the depressed thumb grooves on each side of the frame. The frame is now outfitted with competition grip tape. Please check out our detailed photographs, this pistol looks to be barely used and ready to smack some steel plates!
