Glock 34 for sale | Glock 34 gen 5 for sale | Glock 34 slide for sale
The Glock 34 is intended to be the target/competition variant of the full-size Glock 9mm, sharing the frame with the 17 but having a longer barrel, slide, and sight radius. The barrel length is increased to 5.31 inches, which also increases the sight radius to about 7.5 inches, and the overall length to 8.82 inches. Weight increases to 23.1 ounces, but all other specifications remain the same as the Glock 17.
The trigger is slightly lighter than the stock 17, at just under 5 lbs. The standard ammunition capacity is 17 rounds, though it will run extended magazines up to 33 rounds if so desired.
Both the Glock 34 and Glock 17 are available in Gen 3 or Gen 5 configuration. While both were offered as Gen 4 guns, the Gen 4 Glocks are only sold to law enforcement. Gen 5 guns add Glock’s modular backstraps, and revised internals along with frames, slides, and barrels, as well as MOS models that are milled for optics. The Glock 17 MOS, however, has been replaced with the Glock 47.
Glock 34
While the Glock 34 was intended as a competition pistol (which it excelled at; Dave Sevigny and Bob Vogel have won national championships with one) it also found a certain niche in law enforcement, along with the Glock 35 in .40 S&W. The extra barrel helps tame muzzle rise a little bit, but another reason some shooters prefer them over a 17 has to do with sight alignment. Some people find they have to fight the front sight a little
Glock 17 vs 34
If you want a big 9mm Glock, should you get the Glock 34 vs Glock 17? Both are excellent pistols, without a doubt, but does the extra 0.8 inches of barrel make enough of a difference?
It depends a whole lot on what you’re going to use it for.
When deciding between the Glock 34 and other models such as the Glock 17 or Glock 19, it’s imperative to contemplate their distinct applications. A firearm, like any other instrument, has specific optimal uses. In this context, the Glock 34 excels in certain uses but may not in others. Always factor in your intended use.
