Let's have a little fun with this:

I'll let you guys choose what I'll buy next. It doesn't really matter to me because I know eventually I'll have all three but we might as well have some fun with it :D

The choices are:

- G19
- G34
- Wait for the 20th Anniversary G17 to be released

It should be noted that I already own one G19

I voted for the G34.

As you know I'm a big fan of the G34. It fits my hand like a glove, points better than any other Glock I've tried, has the advantages of a longer sight radius, all with Glock reliability. The G34 is my favorite Glock hands down. Hell, I liked the extended G34 mag and slide controls so much that I basically turned my personal G19 into a G34 clone. I do think the G19 is more practical because it does everything so well in a smaller package, but sense you already own one get the G34. You will not be sorry.

This is why I never thought it necessary to buy a G17.

I also voted for the G34.

I shoot my G34 in steel plate competitions and I am really happy with the platform.

I have both the G34 and the G19 (and 2 G17s) and unless you have an immediate need for a more concealable pistol I would definitely go with the G34 first.

I like the longer sight radius and feel of the G34.

I carry a G17 for duty because I am limited to 9mm but if duty gear wasn't hard to find or have to replace a holster I would carry the G34 for duty.

In shooting competitions with both the G17 and the G34, I tend to reach for the G34 more often.

I voted for the G34 also even though I'm a big fan of the G19, which I see you already have.

Wow, I never expected the G34 to be ahead. :cool:

I have or have had the 17, 19 and 34 and each is simply excellent. I have participated for the last 11 years in the Glock Safe Shooting Foundation (GSSF) events with each over a period of years with each model of those Glocks. My experience is that the longer the barrel the better I did.

I would get the 34 and try to wear it out. Its balance and longer sight radius will make you a better shooter.

Get the G34. I don't know what it is, but I shoot the G19 and G34 better than the G17. The 34 is a sweet shooter. BTW, did I see that you picked up a G32 a while back? If so, I've been pretty curious to know how you like it?

I'll be the odd man out, G19. You can carry it concealed, and carry it exposed without problems, best of both worlds. BTW, I personally would get a G23....

I know, I already have one G19 and a G32 but eventually I'd like to get another (or two) just because ;)

I voted for the G34, but only because I couldn't find any 1911 buttons.

I voted for the G19. This is the first Glock I've owned and I like it a lot.
I wouldn't recommend anything I've never shot.
