I just shot my G34 with standard sights for the first time yesterday and I’m sold! The frame on the G34 is the same as the G17, (correct me if I’m wrong) so shooters of the 17 have a “feel” reference. Even though the slide is longer, it feels more balanced and I think that has to do with the cutout in the slide.
Purpose built comes to mind when shooting this gun. Not only is felt recoil minimal, but target reacquisition is also improved. I shot close to 200 rounds in sequence with no real fatigue and my eyes were the only reason I took a break. Double taps were some of the best I have personally ever done. My best double tap group was about 3 inches at 7 yards, but averaged around 6”-9”. That is awesome for me, sad but true. Someone with talent could do some real damage with this weapon in competition. I, however, would do better with a shotgun.
I know it’s considered more of a comp weapon than a defensive weapon, but it is a Glock and has that proven reliability. It ran without a hiccup and I was using cheap Magtech ammunition. It ran through a 33 round magazine like a sewing machine. The G34 is the smoothest shooting pistol I have personally shot; I would compare it to a 5” 1911 with less perceived recoil.
wdawg249 did a trigger parts polish, installed a 6Lb trigger spring, detail stripped and cleaned her up. He even test shot it when he was done and it’s like night and day! The trigger stacks much later and breaks like glass. The trigger reset is very positive and pronounced and makes it easier to remember to shoot from the reset. No grit or drag, she just goes! I have never felt a Glock trigger as nice as this thanks to wdawg249! I highly recommend getting some trigger work done. And a special thanks to the wdawg!
Some pics for comparison and ogling.
