Glock 34

[VA_Dinger]

What do you guys think of the G34? It has been my favorite Glock for some time, but I recently sold mine. Big mistake and now I want one again.

I have been eyeing one myself.

I REALLLY hope nobody lets me shoot one, because I most certainly will purchase one.

Why did you sell yours?

My 19 is accurate as hell, but I know that the 34 with the longer sight radius will make me smile.

Damn it, enough of this 34 talk.

I've been carrying a Glock 34 / 35 on duty for Patrol / SWAT and for competiton since 1999.

The 34 has to be my favorite Glock. I carried a 1911 for many years, and it was very easy to transition from the 1911 to the Glock 34 (weight, size balance, sight radius were all simular).

The Glock 34 is cheap, utterly reliable, the only thing they need is new sights, no tinkering, no tweeking, no customizing, holster and rail mounted lights are easy to find, ammo is cheap, very well balanced, light weight (if you are wearing it on your belt 10+ hours a day), recoil is gentle, 17 round capacity, great ergonomics (if you give yourself time to acclimate to the ergonomics), decent trigger, excellent pointability, etc, etc.

Just my 2 pesos

I love mine. 14 points better today and I would have moved up from IDPA Expert in SSP to Master SSP. Not too bad as I've only shot this gun 3 times since last year.

Dinger,

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger - I sold my 34 as well, and I'll probably get another one very soon - I just came back into the Glock fold myself, as I bought a 17... for my wife ;)

I like the G34. I have found that it fairs well against most.other hadguns on the market. I do think that most 1911s are at least as accurate or more. I am still getting used to the trigger. Overall, I am a big fan of the G34. I am glad that I found some mook that was dumb enough to part company with one. :D

That hurts.

You caught me in a moment of weakness.

I just got rid of mine. I had always used it as a dedicated light gun. When I went to something else to use with a light and began running the 34 "bare" I found that I shoot a standard 17 much better. I guess I am the oddball.......as usual.

The biggest thing I had to learn to begin to shoot the Glocks really well (and I shoot them better than anything else now) is that I had to stop shooting them like a 1911. They aren't a 1911. You have to hold them different, they feel different, the trigger press and follow through is different............I guess thats why i am not so hung up on the 34/35 series and their relation to "feeling" like a 1911. Glock does the 9mm pistol better than anything else out there. All their other guns have some issues (in my opinon.......which doesn't matter much). I wish they would have just stopped at the 9mm and called it a day, but thats just me.

I'm really happy with my G34.

I've contemplated switching to it from the G17 for duty use as well.

Feel, balance, and trigger are fine.

I carried a G22 for some time on duty as well, but when I switched commissions I had to go to 9mm and chose the G17 so I didn't have to replace leather.

Getting LE prices on Glocks doesn't help the addiction.

Go replace that G34 and never sell it again!

Paul,

So go get one already. If I wasn't broke, I'd jump all over this. It even has the sights that I want.

Thats not a bad deal, but I want a bone stock one (except for sights). Plus Bob's has one in stock for $550.
