Glock 34 long slide 9x19. My boss made me an outstanding deal since I let her get the Ruger Hawkeye in 7mm08 for her grandson. I can't wait for Saturday break in. Be well everyone.
Well, another bucket list check-off. New range pistol I've always wanted.

Good choice.
I was window shopping just a couple of hours ago, and spent some time handling a Gen 5 G34.
I have no use for a Glock, but I suspect it's one of those "everybody should own one" kind of guns. The G19 or G17 would seem the more practical options, but the G34 is the one that I'm most attracted to.

Same boat here, no real use for one unless I decide to shoot a GSSF match.
Having said that, I think the 3 everyone should have are the G19, G30, and G34. I've had all 3 until a buddy talked me into selling him my G9...because he wanted 3 and my Gen 2 was more reliable than the Gen 3s he had...I do have a G22 that I got in a trade that I don't shoot (looking to add a .22LR upper to it.
OP - Good pickup on that G34. I like mine much more than any of the G17s I've owned. A very affordable, and great value, upgrade is the Taran Tactical connector

LOL, actually looking for my first trigger up grade. This is going to be a dedicated range pistol so want to try and get a 3lb trigger. Man a .22lr slide kit would have my money ASAP!

I have a Springfield XD40 -4inch barrel I got it when they first came out , great gun. I know they are called the Croatian Glock but I like them better and I have shot a lot of Glocks with that being said I stopped at my favorite gun shop to just look and ended up buying a Springfield XDm Elite Precision 5.25 in 9mm it goes great with my S&W 929 Performance Center 9mm . It is a great shooting gun I have 1911’s and that is why I think I like XD’s better.

Nice! I carried a Gen 4 Glock 34 for many years at work, only giving it up when they neutered me as an administrator and took me away from field work. (I went to a 43X after that.)
I found the 34 to be a great combination of reliability and shootability. The gun never choked, unless it was ammo related, and it shot where I needed it to in all types of conditions. About the only wear on it is on the slide release and some shiny spots on the top of the slide from the Safariland kydex holster I wore.
My duty Glock 34 was stock outside of night sights, a Vickers flat trigger shoe and a flag slide cover, but I “built” a Gen 3 version with a Lone Wolf slide, match barrel, OEM innards, Tru Glo sights, Vickers trigger and Wolff springs. (4.5 lb striker) This has a five color camo cerakote finish as well.
Great choice, I think you’re going to like that new pistol once you put a bunch of shots down range this weekend!
Stay safe.

Liked it so much decided to use it carry at the store. Man, my "point shooting" has never been as (ON) as with the 34. What a satisfaction! I'm over 4 K now with factory and Handloaded ammo. Not a single hick-up. yay

on your purchase. I like long slide guns but have never owned one. It was always a "gonna get one" thing that I have never bothered to get. My SIL has a long slide M&P and lets me shoot it when we go to the range together and I will probably made do with that. I like the way long barreled handguns "hang" on the target.

A few years back the 34 became the trendy pistol of choice among our personnel who were eligible to choose another approved pistol other than the department issue.
While I didn't go that route (I've always favored a 4 or 4.25 inch barrel for duty carry, I could not argue with the results at the range. Once the MRDS became affordable, qual scores skyrocketed.
I hear you brother. The fun stopped.

Everyone has their preference's.
They already did. There's new Glock gen3 17Ls on GunBroker right now. I'm holding out for a gen5 mos 17L.
The G34 is fun at the range and an excellent choice for HD.

The Glock 34 uses the same frame as the G17. The slide and barrel are longer. Their standard factory mags are 17 rounders.
