Thinking about a glock 34 for a little more 25yd accuracy, anyone have one or heard any complaints about them?

it's a very easy to shoot gun. I owned one, but sold it because I shot a CZ P01 better. Go to Shore Shot and rent their G17. it's as close as you can get to a glock 34.

Never even shot a CZ pistol, glad you like it though. I've had my 23 for about 15 years, 35K plus through it and nary a malfunction. It's just a little tough for new shooters to even keep it on paper at 25yds.

 

What sight arrangement did you have on your 34?

I have a pair

 

stock sights on one (with rear sight blacked out) ... trijicon night sights on the other.

 

Complaints??? I'm not accurate enough for the pistol.

I had Meprolights on mine. I would look at Dawson Precision. They make some nice fiber optic sights.

+1 on the Dawson sights. It what I (and several of my friends) have on their Glocks as well.

Also look at the Heine straight 8 sights and the Sevigny comp sights from Warren Tactical.

I see you're a Somerset boy. Make a trip up north and we can play with all kinds of GLOCK stuff. Change parts around and try different stuff.

 

Sights? Save the money you would spend on sights and buy ammo and practice shooting. Don't listen to Lunker, he never owned the same gun more than 3 months anyway...

 

BTW I do shoot a fiber optic front for the indoors. Like $30...

 

After thought: G34's are no more accurate than a G19 or G17. Just longer sight radius.

IMHO, new sights (Dawson in my case) "helped" with accuracy.

the factory sights are pure shite.

Hey Ron, the stock sights are just that stock and plastic, I'm embarassed to say. But give Dave Sevigny a gun with those stock sights and he'll out shoot any of us. Though those sights may have helped, given $100 to improve my shooting, I'll spend it on ammo.

Lots of IDPA/IPSC shooters, including myself use the G34. In my opinion, that is what the gun was made for (stock service pistol in practical shooting). It's fine for 25 yds, but it is not a bullseye gun.

 

Most replace the factory sights. I am using the Warren Tactical/Dawson combo. I'm not a fan of the factory glock trigger, but the 34 comes with a 3.5# connector, so it's not too bad.

 

If you want to shoot one, let me know...I'm a SCFGPA member as well.

Just a heads up to prospective G34 buyers. If you buy a "blue label" LE gun like I did (and I get them at a reduced cost)

they may come with fixed sights and a #5.5 trigger.

Same here. That's what I got from Lawmens Supply through the GSSF.

Thanks guys, Sure I'd love to give one a whirl before I make my decision. Just let me know the next time you'll be at the club and I'll meet up with you. You can play with the CX4, everyone has a good time with that girl.

 

I do appreciate the info on the sights, my 23 has the meprolights and they really are an advantage. I'm not in love with the color configuration, but they still give a good sight picture day or night. I wasn't planning on going through GSSF for this one and I'll avoid the fixed sights.

If you're going to change the sights, take what you can get as cheap as you can.

I like the straight 8's also. I run them on my g19 but still run factory night sites on my g17

OK, so dawson sells the TruGlo, Warren, and Heinie sights. Which ones did you have Ron?

 

oh, and absolutely the best video i've seen for installation.

I have the Dawson set.

Target adjustable rear(plain black), with a .125 front fiber sight.

I have played withe the warren's and heine's and they all work just as well.
