[Glock 34]

IPSC in the Netherlands with a Glock 34 places me in the standard division and not production. Next to training and attending matches I have used small things to give me more confidence. Most of it is also mentioned above by polymerfeelsweirdman and others , beavertail adapter is included in gen4.

As a Dutch guy I have placed my costs next to it.

• other sights. After tried different ones from other Glock users, I have bought me a set TruGlow TFX that was good for me and is still within the IPSC box measurements. (cost 180.- euro)
• polishing internals (cost 0.00 euro). gives a nicer trigger feel
• griptape used, changed to silicium carbide with epoxy (cost 15.- euro). gives a awesome grip
• thumb rest "dowell-style" (cost 27.50 euro). gives more control of your recoil
• small aluminium magwell (cost 49.50 euro). easier magazine loads
• extended magazine bottom Arredondo ( cost 25.- euro). loads your magazine up to 20 rounds and keeps it within the IPSC measurement box

I started with reloading a couple of months ago and have now a really nice "recipe" with a low recoil. But it also forced me to use a lower weight spring. Ammo: 9mm - 147gr. RN. And then I went overboard with trigger and striker pin. I found out that in my situation this was not really needed and a waist of money.

Welcome Roy and I just might see you at an IPSC match in 2017!

Yes Peter, I am planning to attend all IPSC matches in the Netherlands and Belgium. Will wear a white tulip so you recognize me ;-)

Welcome aboard

Must be MURDER running field courses in wooden shoes     (Sorry, that was just too easy).

Are you reloading?

Hi Jack, yes I am just into reloading. 9mm, 147gr RN, 4.1grs N340 load. Still struggling/learning though. Found out that a lot of my brass is slightly to big at the bottom. which causes jams. It is no "bulge" as the .40 calibers have. Have adjusted my die, as tight as possible. Do you know if there is a smart solution to full-length resize the 9mm brass.

Oh, and I left my wooden shoes in the holes of the dike ;-)

I'm sure this is THE place on the interwebs for learning things for IPSC. Most here do USPSA which is close enough.

Talking to people at practice and matches can be a great help. I didn't have internet when I started learning, so Brian's book was a major source. The gear he used at that time is a bit outdated now - but the ideas are still relevant.

Thanks, have just donated some to the forum.

You guys are so lucky with so many options to choose from. There are not many companies in the Netherlands that can do nice slide milling. Have seen a lot of nice slides in this topic. Here is my "donation" for now. Glock 34, fits the Standard division IPSC box, fulcrum trigger set, lead filling inside the grip, "dowell-style" thumb rest, race connector, skeletonized striker, DPM recoil spring system, small magwell, magloc racker. Weights without magazine 0,805 kg / 28,39 Oz.

Hi, I am new here and do not want to read or comment at the forum anonymously. Am just beginning with IPSC for six months now. Attending the matches in the Standard division with a Glock 34 (see attachment). Not doing so good, but I have a plan ;-). More training, more attendance to matches, care for my material and I believe that 2017 will be good for me. Reading through this forum will give me also a way to gather information. Thanks for this platform, have all a happy new year ending and a successful 2017. Greetings Roy Pesik
