When will we see 4th gen G34s/G35s?

[Curare]

2-3 years?

I'm curious if the low sales volume and complex changes that will be needed to the slide (while keeping a similar slide mass) will significantly delay their release.

Probably never.

I asked at SHOT, there weren't even plans for it.

I just want to see a Gen4 21SF.

That'll probably happen. I do think they're planning to drop the 21SF ambi mag catch in the future. It was a failure by Biblical proportions. Lots of LE agencies wanted it and then when the got them and seat belts and other things started hitting the mag catch they changed thier minds. The picatinny rail is stupid too.

I'd buy a Gen 4 G-35 tomorrow if they released one....

Me too but they say the numbers of G34s/G35s are way lower than everything else. It wouldn't even be frickin' rocket-science to do it. Just make the G35 slide accept the new recoil spring and wala!

Buzzkill. I was really hoping for 34. If Gen4 17 is reported to shoot soft and flat, just imagine how it could be with Gen4 34...

FWIW the Glock 17 Gen 4 shoots just as flat to me as a Glock 34 Gen 3.

Yes, quite a few mentioned that fact. I understand it is attributed to a dual recoil spring and all those rumors about impending changes make me pause. If Glock does away with it in Gen4 17, then I'd imagine Gen3 34 would have an edge here. Just speculations.

I suspect Glock will just use a lower spring constant dual recoil spring in the Gen 4 G17.

I don't have a G34 slide in front of me--wouldn't Glock have to make some substantial changes to the slide--you couldn't just enlarge the hole for the recoil assembly given the profile of the G34 slide.
