Too damn cold huh? Right now in Wisconsin my thermometer says -1.7 F. It's suppose to get colder. I hate to say it, but dry fire practice is looking better than live fire outside tomorrow. I'm with you on too cold. Thanks for the thoughts on PVC, does anyone have any wooden plans? Thanks

Anyone have any simple target stand plans for IDPA targets? I have seen a couple of pictures of wooden stands that look inexpensive enough to build but why recreate the wheel if someone has some plans that work for them. I have a small piece of property and want to totally convince the neighbors that I am the gun nut that they believe me to be. Thanks

Thanks everyone for the reassuring comments. On the Glock site under specs for the G34 it gives the trigger pull as ~4.5 pounds. So yes, I see where the connector doesn't give you a real 3.5 pound pull. But 6 pounds, 14 ounces really isn't anywhere near 4.5 pounds. I found a couple good links on trigger jobs on this gun and will do those mods soon. Cruiten, 1.6 pounds in a competition handgun would be neat to experience. In a gun that I will shoot IDPA with as well as my home defense weapon I would be asking for trouble. Thanks for making me feel welcome. I ordered Brian Enos' book and a DVD by Matt Burkett on shooting IDPA matches - nothing against IPSC but IDPA is what we have locally.

I just picked up my new G34. One of the main reasons that I bought it over a 17 was that the factory trigger is advertised at 3.5 pounds. On the outside of the box that the gun came in it says 3.5 pounds. The brass that was enclosed with the gun was dated 10-04 so this is a newly produced G34. I have a trigger scale that I use for my rimfire silhouette rifles. It is within an ounce and this has been verified over and over. I took it with me to a gun show two weeks ago and could get a new G17 at one of the dealers tables to break at 5.5 pounds consistently and repeatedly. This G34 breaks consistently at 6 pounds 14 ounces. This is repeatable and consistant and I am quite familiar with this scale and it's use. What is up with this? What would you do if this were your gun and you planned on competing with this gun. I called Glock and the man that answered the phone said to shoot the gun 500 rounds before worrying about it. Do you think that the trigger pull will lighten up to half what it is today because I fired a few hundred rounds through it? I'm not swollowing that one just yet. I'm am seeking info at this point, but I can tell I will get really grumpy really fast if this is not resolved. G34 owners what has been your experience - thanks for the comments.
