The Glock 34 9mm is affectionately reffered to as the tactical/practical Glock. Based off the excellent Glock 17 9mm, the Glock 34 has a slightly longer barrel and slide which not only adds some velocity but sight radius. The Glock 34's longer slide is cut to alleviate the weight and makes the gun balance no different than a full size Glock 17. A favorite of competition shooters and even S.W.A.T teams for their accuracy and excellent reliablilty that law enforcement has come to depend on. The Glock 34 has several upgraded features over a stock Glock, first for the edge in competition it comes with an improved 3.5lb trigger bar which decreases the stock pull by around 2lbs. Second comes the extended slide stop and magazine release that makes it easier to manipulate with gloves or under stress. These features along with adjustable sights for dialing in your Glock 34 9mm for a precise load, the Glock "safe action" trigger and accessory rail for mounting a light, the Glock 34 is an awesome choice for whatever your shooting needs.
