Hello. I would like your thoughts on this matter. I would like a longslide SA, chambered for 9x19. I have a previous history with the Glock frame, and it works very well for me. I am, also, receptive to other suggestions. I want a toy. I'm not in the sandbox. I would like your sickest, most insane variant. I can purchase, today, a G34, for about $640. I would like your alternatives. |

Sick? Here you go: From their website: 
You know you want one! So do I.

I had a 34 for a little while when they first came out. Had enough muzzle weight so I could keep the bullets in the black damn near as fast as I could pull the trigger. Wouldn't work with my NDF hicaps. Rear sight SUCKED! Your eye is naturally drawn to the sights frame, so unless you go to the hassle of centering it, that could be a problem. Trigger was nice, but wasn't particullarly accurate. I have sorta gravitated to the "fear the man with one gun" mindset, and couldn't forsee a circumstance where I'd carry it over my G20. I paid $450 for it NIB, IIRC. Sold it for more. |
I was looking at one with a 7" barrel for a can, and yes, it does look like a boomarang. The slide makes hot handloads (147 grains at 1200 fps) easy to work with on double taps, though. I am still thinking it over. |

I've had it in my head, for some reason, to get a very nice uber-accurate 9mm. I have a Les Baer Premier II and, stupid or not, paid up for the 1.5" option. That gun is so smooth, and of course much more accurate than I am...it brings smiles every time I shoot it. So how do the G34's compare to Baers? Or, as someone else suggested the 9mm's made by STI? |
Yeah, yeah, I know.  I also took my Kimber 1911 and ran it for a while. It ran fine. But I was sure having to manipulate it more (reloads every 8 rounds instead of 17). What can I say?  The Glock 34 is a heck of a weapon.  |
Glocks are not single action, they are "Safe action" www.glock.com/english/index_safety.htm |
I think that they are calling the LS the "pro" series. At least thats what is on their website. Not sure of the actual release date but i would imagine that it would be the same mags as the standard length M&P's use. The M&P pistols use a different mag than other smith pistols do if I remember correctly. www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&catalogId=11101&langId=-1&productId=67977&tabselected=tech&isFirearm=Y&parent_category_rn=15711 That is on their website. I did not see the new stuff on there, it might be a few months before they hit the shelves.... ETA: Its called the 9L. and it's here: www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&catalogId=11101&langId=-1&productId=68446&tabselected=tech&isFirearm=Y&parent_category_rn=15711 it was just released so it may be awhile before they are actually out.... |
I'd intended SA to represent 'semi automatic'. |
