So I've been flip-flopping over the past few weeks between getting a G34 or a PPQ 5".  Does anyone have any hands-on experience with both that they'd like to share?  I do appreciate everyone's input, but comparing to a G19 or G17 vs. a standard PPQ 4" etc. isn't really what I'm looking for.  I really would love to hear about people's experience with the G34 and PPQ 5" specifically.  My main concerns would really be the extra muzzle-flip that I hear about on the PPQ and the amazing ergonomics/trigger that I hear about in the PPQ.  Let me know if you can, thanks!

The PPQ 5 inch is so new to the US market that there's likely to be little information about it right now that's not available on a spec sheet. The 34 is tried and tested and it will have more available parts at a cheaper price. Still, I love my PPQM1, and would highly recommend it in any form.

 

If you want to shoot a 4inch it and can make the trip to EFGA, I'd be happy to share. At the least you'll be able to gauge the muzzle flip for yourself.

IMO the ppq has a vastly superior trigger. You may find a bit of an issue getting a holster for it though.

I like, and shoot, the G34/35 sized Glocks better than any other pistol out there.

 

The PPQ is nice, but the Glock wins hands down in my book.

 

The only issue with the G34 is a capacity issue in NJ. The stock mags have a capacity of 17 rounds, so you either have to pin them to 15, buy 10 rounders, or source quality 15 round mags from an aftermarket vendor.

There is no getting around that...the PPQ has a higher bore axis compared to the Glock hence the extra muzzle flip. Image found via Google...

Bladetech always has holsters.

Joe I agree, but we are talking about a 5 inch 9mm..

I have the glock, and love it. It was my first firearm purchase. It still runs like a champ.

Love my 34. Accurate and flawless

Does the bore axis change? lol

 

Yo, check your phone NOW!

Same here. It's my favorite of my handguns.

Love my 34. Thats what I compete with.

I have a G34 Gen4 that I did a "trigger job" on (as you know the springs and trigger bar are inexpensive), it shoots great especially with the various back strap options, which include a modified 1911 type backstrap.  I don't know anything about the other weapon, but I love Glocks, so what can I say. With super availability of parts and holsters, it would be my choice.

G34 gen 3 shoots great and my go too

I am not a Glock guy, and only ended up with my G34 by accident (long story, posted elsewhere), but after some teething problems getting comfortable with my G34, I really like it.  Shoots very well and very accurately.

Seems like the majority of the votes are for the Glock.   Thanks for all the input, Folks.  I'll advise when I make the final purchase!
