I think my perspective is going to be a little different from most. Get the G17. Why? Because it's closer to the G19 than the 34 is. If this is going to be your regular training and range gun then you will be able to equalize the proficiency you gain in all of your shooting to your CCW G19 easily. I was almost going to suggest just getting another G19 for this reason. Some may feel this isn't big deal. I feel those gains could save your life or prevent unintended consequences if you ever have to use your CCW.
If it were going to be a serious competition or match gun then I'd have said go with the 34. But I'm more pragmatic and prefer proficiency across fewer platforms, especially when it comes to CCW or self defense.
That's just my humble opinion. I offer it knowing that there are many on this board with a lot more experience than I have.
