Just how good do these shoot and what would I gain over a G17 besides a longer barrel and sight radius ?
|
| my G34 will group about 3 1/2" at 35yards with good 147grain loads (edge to edge).... my G17 a little bigger...I use mine for USPSA and 3 gun competition... the G34 points (indexes) from the holster better....the added sight radius (I shoot a .090" wide sight blade) helps with old eyes.... |

That sight radius is a helluva thing. You can still get your hits with a sloppy sight picture because of the longer sight radius. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile This. It's amazing how fast/sloppy I can get. In competition, as long as I can see my front sight, I'll hit -1 zone or better on an IDPA target. I can also hit an 8" steel plate at 100 yards about half the time with mine. |
| I have 19 Glocks (and have owned 5-6 others), and my gen 4 G34 is BY FAR my favorite. Like was mentioned above, the sight radius is extremely forgiving. The recoil is flat and smooth. I also think it balances and "points" better than a 17, but that could be because I shoot it the most. |

I'm not a physics Stephen hawking guy but doesn't a longer barrel have higher mussel velocity so more kick (but less flip) I notice that it flips more on the last rounds in the magazine from the balance of the pistol changing. The 19 has a short enough slide and barrel that the balance doesn't change enough to notice. Just my observation from emptying 33rd mags out of both. I had to slow down with the 34 because it was taking longer to come back on target after each shot. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
