Glock 17 vs Glock 34 is one better than the other?

Here is a G34, followed by a G35 in a pro's hands.
Someone that is good could takle a stick and beat you before you could even blink ;)
Now go get a Glock and learn to shoot :D

So if your G34 shoots as well as the G21 you shot, why waste the extra money on the G34? In addition, why have a gun that's longer and thusly heavier than it needs to be?

For some it suites them better.
It does me.

I have added weight via mag well & heavy tungsten guide rod to achieve the weight/balance that enables me to shoot better.
The extra inch allows better balance (for me)

The extended mag release increases my reload speed & the ported factory 34 slide reduces recoil & heat during heavy shooting/heat cycles.
I have even added a 4 port barrel to reduce it further.
The 3.5lb trigger topped it off.

Simple as that. Each of us are unique in the way we shoot and what we like.
Whatever makes you a better shooter is all good.

I'll take all the help I can get ;)

Just a question relating to IPSC production division;

What mods are legal to a G17 to remain in production?

Can one put the extended mag release, and 3.5 disconnector in a G17 and still play in production?

If so I see no real benefit to going with a G34, unless u want to shoot 9mm major in another class.
 
Can't shoot a 34 in IPSC production, period. Interesting to note that Glocks are far more popular in USPSA production than in IPSC, where the Shadow seems to rule. Most of the top proddy shooters in USPSA shoot the 34 if they shoot a Glock.

The 34 is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better. It is not even close. For one thing it feels nice in the hand, not like a plastic brick, for another it is .45 which is a superior caliber, not to mention the fact that it is aesthetically beautiful and reliable enough to be used by the army while they defeated world super powers and on top of that it is steel instead of plastic.

its because of the difference in rules between the sports. notably, in USPA there is no minimum trigger pull and you can get the striker guns to a nice 2.5# pull that is the same every time. they also have a longer barrel than the shadow and thus longer sight radius for the far shots (5" m&p and 5.3" glock vs 4.7" shadow) so you lose some weight but gain 2 advantages (also some people like lighter guns for transitions)

but with ipsc rules you have to have a 5# first trigger pull so you are using a 5# every shot vs the shadow guys with the heavy da and light sa shot. you end up with 2 disadvantages and 1 advantage.

Chaos, what rule disallows the G34 from IPSC production?

I am guessing barrel length is the main reason. The 3.5 connector ( Glock OEM ) is allowed in prod as it brings the trigger pull down to around 5# ONLY with it's addition. It can get significantly better with other mods as added. I give up trying to understand even half of the reasons why some parts and guns are allowed, and others not, in IPSC. If Canada adopted USPSA rules, I would head back to prod with a G34.

I am now heading to standard with a G35, with the trigger all modded up.
 
Get one of each, 2 Roni airsoft kits and you will soon be selected for secret missions. There is a thread going that even talks about holsters!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I have the 17 and couldn't be happier. Having said that I have yet to shoot a 34.

Bottom line, it's a glock, you won't be disappointed in either.

Good luck, pics when you get it!
