Notes
The G35 Gen4 MOS was the last optics-ready .40 S&W competition Glock produced. As the competitive shooting market shifted away from .40 S&W toward 9mm platforms, and USPSA Carry Optics allowed 9mm Major, the G35 MOS became increasingly niche. No Gen5 version was produced for the .40 S&W G35, making the Gen4 MOS the terminal variant of the competition .40 line.
Background
The G35 Gen4 MOS was the swan song of Glock's .40 S&W competition platform. It arrived just as the competitive shooting world was pivoting away from .40 caliber. When USPSA revised its Carry Optics rules to allow 9mm Major power factor, the rationale for shooting the heavier-recoiling .40 S&W evaporated almost overnight. The G35 MOS became a collector's item of sorts -- the last factory optics-ready .40 competition Glock ever made.
