Where to buy a G34 frame?

Gunbroker always has g17/34 frames

Was looking into building one from scratch in the past... It's kinda not worth it. Can find used or newish for a little less than building from parts.

Also, lone wolf frames are slightly cheaper than stock glock and supposedly they're nice in the hands...

G17 Gen 4, was even a FDE color, $206.00 out the door(I bought one)... There is a FFL on Gunbroker.com that has them normally.... Seems the FFL's can make more $$$$$ by splitting the pistol. If you can't find the gentleman, Pm me and I'll dig his name up.

Buying a used tricked out Glock can sometimes be a better investment IF your not "handy".... The Glock's are so easy to work over even for some one with limited skills.

i might be out of my lane here, but i think you're boned for a production gun.

"technically" the frame and slide need to be from the same gun, which would mean the non-matching serial numbers would be a give away.

On a local level I can't imagine any one cares, but there are rule-lawyers everywhere.

Doesn't matter at all. The upper on a Glock is what controls the caliber, not the frame. G17/G34/G17L/G22/G35/G24/G31 are all the same frame except for the ejector (9 vs 40/357) I actually have 2 replacement slides of my competition G17s. Plus OEM Glock barrels carry serial numbers, but not aftermarket barrels.

I think the point was that it would violate "production division" rules. But it actually does not.

21.3 After-market slides and barrels – provided they are the same length, contour and caliber as original factory standard.

SLIDES: Current rules remain in effect – You may replace the slide with an OFM or aftermarket slide which is of the same length, contour and caliber as the original slide for that model of gun.

While I don't agree with him saying frame and slide serials must match. To truly follow the rules If you have a Glock 17 frame you can only replace the slide with the same length and caliber. There is zero advantage and I don't think anyone is going to check a serial number for caliber though.
