Best Gen Glock 34


Recommended Posts

Currently shoot a Gen4 but looking hard at a Gen5 

because of aforementioned cavernous mag well  since I shoot production. 

 I do practice Burkett Reloads until my eyes bleed but it is nice to have more if a well for those not so coordinated kind of days

Two weekends ago I watch a cop DQ himself for breaking the 180 during a reload then be a dick about it.  Yammering about how his swat training made him reload the way he did and then loudly announcing that since couldn't shoot he was leaving.
 
I don't think he will be missed.........

So what gen glock made him do that? Lol

Probably one of those Glock 7's I keep hearing about...
 
think he meant it to go one line lower, check post below in the main subforum:
I went ahead and got DQ'd today
 

That makes more sense.

I'd take a look at a Gen 5 but only if it doesn't have the cut out on the front of the grip. 


My G34 has the cutout. I think it’s not much of a big deal on a full size. I wouldn’t sweat buying a used pistol with the cutout if the opportunity presented itself.

I would not want it on a compact at all at any price. YMMV. Well maybe for two fifty I’d deal with it.

I prefer the Gen 3 and yes I like the finger grooves.

I'm a Viet Nam Veteran and a 40 year retired cop and have shot USPSA

or whatever it was called back then since 1979..  The cop that DQed 

was partially correct.  LE training does not focus on safety as much as

it should.  It focuses on ending the threat and staying alive.  He was probably

embarrassed and who wouldn't be.  But, to make a smart ass remark about

how he wouldn't be missed is uncalled for.  We are a sport about supporting

and helping each other.

I’ve been handling Glock 34s trying to determine which to buy. I really like the Gen 3 model. Any opinions?

You said it yourself "I really like the Gen 3 model"... 

Stick with it. Buy lots of bullets and or components and start practicing.

If i have to restart my practical shooting life all over again. I would stick with one maker, one model and a boat load of reloading components.

Got a gen 5 mos / FS,  last week - took a range session or 2 to get used to it - we're getting along very well so far 

 

Can't see any advantage in the previous generations.. gen 5 are supposed to have better triggers , better barrels  , mos , FS , & probably other features I'm not aware of 

 

I thought they didn't have the  notch in mag well any more  but it's there -  are there plugs for it ?

I thought they stopped as well.

 

I bought mine a year ago and there was no notch, maybe you got one of the first runs that was still sitting in their inventory?
