Glock? Which Model?

[bullet]

I have several Glocks, but when I got my 35 it quickly became I favorite Glock. I have plans for a G34 because I want a 9mm like my G35. Get the G34, if your not going to carry it.

They sure do!

Why do you guys think the G34/35 is the best shooting gun Glock makes?

I've never shot either one, never even held them. So I'm pretty curious.

A lot of it due to longer sight radius. And be balanced to a wide variety of shooters.

I wish. I'd have me one of those. And a Glock 9mm carbine.

That 1911 is Sweet. Do they make a HiPower too?

Longer barrel, longer sight radius, better balance.

Both my 34 and 35 are 100-yard handguns. I've never been able to hit steel at that distance consistently with any of my other Glocks.

Thanks Shooter, but let me ask. does the spring in the new gen make that big a difference?

does the spring in the new gen make that big a difference?

It provides a longer service life on the part (about 2x), reduced wear on the gun's internals (I've never heard of a Glock of ANY generation getting "worn out" through natural wear), and a slight reduction in perceived recoil.

What will make the most difference to folks in Gen4 vs. Gen3 is the trigger reach distance, the frame texture, the ability to change/add backstraps, and the extended/reversible mag catch.

My vote would be the G34. I would love to get one and almost got a G35. Owned the G24 and loved it. Just too long. My next Glock will be a G34 or G35.

 

[CrimsonRayne]

Just got my SD40Ve sold, so i will definitely be getting one soon. Thanks everyone for your help. Glock 34, I choose you.....

G34 or 35 by the sounds of your needs...

Not really a fan of the .40 myself, but I'd probably lean toward the G35. Longer barrel, site radius, and .357 sig ability = alot of fun at longer ranges... A conversion barrel could also be added to the G35 for 9mm also.

 

[CrimsonRayne]

A conversion barrel? Just when I had my mind made up too.... apparently I need to do some more research.

Yep... If you go with the G34, it will only shoot 9mm...

The G35 shoots .40 of course and with a conversion barrel and G17/G34 mag, you'd be set up for 9mm. It also can shoot .357 sig with a aftermarket barrel.

Conversion/aftermarket barrels start around $100.00, but if you are planning to shoot alot, you might get a aftermarket barrel anyhow down the road for the ability to shoot alot of lead.

I am with trapper dave on this one !

I own a g17L Gen 3. I really like it. But its not CC friendly. Its alil longer then the g34. It shoots good

 

[Ryano23_98]

I had the 17 for awhile then switched to the 19 for better conceal carry. Love the 17 though. I'm more fond of the 3rd gen.

i did the same thing 3rd gen to me are better. but the grip change is nice my S&W M&P 9mm has that. great to change out for my wife to shoot it

 

[charley59]

If you want a G34, buy it. Then later on, buy a G19. I have an old Gen 1 G17 (my first centerfire autoloader) and a Gen 3 G19. I will keep both. The G17 is serious accurate, and the G19 is serious fun. And the G19 can use the same mags as the G17 and G34.

 

[msteiner17]

I have a Glock 17 and 22 (gen 4's). Love them both!! Will eventually have to acquire a 21 to round out the set.
