Yes both the 34 9mm & 35 .40 have a cut-away on the top of the slide to reduce weight, because it uses a longer barrel (5.32") & slide.
The barrel is not ported on these 2 models, only the ones designated with the letter C, example G17C 9mm w/compensated (ported barrel & slide).
I own 2-G35s (1 is an LE model) and 1-G23, next on the list ...X-Mas list that is a G27. All of which fire the same .40S&W round.

It reduced recoil and allows for better control of the gun , much like the old Magnaporting system of the 1980"s.

It's called "Porting" ......Glock "Ports" some of it's handguns. The idea is when you fire a handgun that is ported, the gases that are forced out behind the bullet are directed UPWARDS. This acts as a counter to minimize/prevent the barrel rising upwards from recoil with each shot fired......
