ICON_636 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) My wife informed me on Christmas that I could have any pistol I wanted under $1,500. Today I ordered a new Glock 34 and will be picking it up on Friday. Needless to say the price came in well under my wifes very generous budget. I live about an hour away from Accurate Iron in Oklahoma City so I will defiantly be getting some work done there. I should also still have enough money left over for a CR Speed belt, Blade Tech holster, and extra magazines and mag pouches. I plan to start shooting local USPSA matches in Production Division and some Steel Challenge matches, this weighed heavily into my gun choice. I cant wait to shoot this thing and start pimping it out. Edited January 4, 2011 by ICON_636 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live near Clinton and ordered my gun at the Tin Star Shooting Range in Weatherford. Yes I plan to start shooting regularly at the monthly matches at the OKC Gun Club. I'm also planning on shooting some Friday night bowling pin matches at the Firing Pin in Hinton. I have not competed yet, but can't wait to get a few matches under my belt.

GrumpyOne Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Congrats (I think!). You'll will enjoy it. But, you really can't pimp out a Glock all that much. After all, it's a Glock. http://www.brianenos...dpost&p=1212471 Edited January 5, 2011 by Duane Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5early Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 No need to send off a 34. Sevigny sights ... $80 13lb recoil spring ... $4 Trigger parts ... $20 Grip tape ... $2 Do it all yourself. Vids on YouTube will help or a friend with some experience. Takes 1 hour if you have no idea what you are doing. Then go shoot the crap out of it.

Duane Thomas Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 But it's one UGLY SUMBITCH! I actually think the Glock 34 is an inordinately beautiful gun. But then that's definitely my own aesthetic sense at work there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jr0402 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Congrats i just got my first Glock and still in the process of up-grading it but it is still a awesome gun(especially compared to what i did have Ruger P94)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-Bros_JLR Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Congratulations! Like was mentioned above...change out the sights, add a lighter recoil spring, do some polishing on the internals and go shoot the crap out of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save the time and money you would have spent sending it to someone, and use it to buy entrance into a training course. Phil Strader is nearby, as is Mike Seeklander. Take that cash and pay one of those two to help you learn how to shoot your new G34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Gene Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 They are very easy to work on. Buy one of the excellent DVD's (AGI's "Making Glocks Rock", for example) and go from there. I do like the trigger kit from glocktriggers.com. You can put a couple hundred into it, buy extra mags, a good holster and mag pouches and still have a little left over for some training and ammo to make the wife's budget. This is the order I would do it depending on budget. Blade Tech DOH holster, Extra Mags, Sights, Standard length slide lock lever, Captured Steel guide rod and spring, skate tape or pre cut grip pannel, trigger kit. I put the trigger kit last, because you can get a pretty good trigger on your own, but one of the kits generally sets you up a bit better. The only thing I didn't do myself was sights, because I do not have a pusher. I did my own trigger, then went ahead and put one of the gt.com kits in, but did polish it a bit before installing. If you do decide to do the work yourself there are two must have items, a small punch, and a roll of masking tape. You will see why if you buy the AGI DVD. It is a great gun, and, if your wife has any desire at all to shoot, is excellent for her too. WGcan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assaulter Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I was soooo close to buying one this morning, I had it in my hand but I wanted to wait on the Gen 4. I did buy five G17 mags for $10 a piece for my future G34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICON_636 Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) I want to thank everyone for their replies. I bought my first pistol when I turned 21 (Glock 23) and have shot the crap out of it ever since. I have also been in law enforcement since I was 22 (28 now) and have trusted my life with a Glock 21 every day since then. I am a line safety officer so I do a fair amount of shooting and been to a few schools. However, I have never done any competition stuff, other than betting with coworkers on who buys lunch based on qualifying scores (I have yet to buy). I plan to get Sevigny sights with fiber optic front sight, was also planning on the 13lb recoil spring, and extended length guide rod. I am doing some reading on doing the trigger work myself, but I also want the frame stippled and am not sure that I want to do this myself. The gun will most likely be coming in tomorrow and I will pick it up after work if possible. I'm attending another shooting school the first week of March and plan to shoot this thing for two days straight. Been doing a lot of reading and will probably order 1000 rounds of Atlanta Arms 147gr 9mm soon. Edited January 6, 2011 by ICON_636 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What trigger parts do you guys suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98sr20ve Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 My glock trigger is pretty good. I don't want to start a argument but I have tried the drop in from some big names and mines so close to the same that it's not even worth the money to buy the kit IMHO. Stock G34 Connector, .25c trigger job, I used a dremmel but I was very carefully. Wolf Light weight striker. Wolf Extra Power trigger return spring. Thats it I think.

ICON_636 Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 Just got home with the new 34. I put 100 rounds through it right after I bought it and couldn't be happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
