I do. Winter carry only in a galco shoulder holster. For good weather I use a glock 33.



Pro: i'm the most comfortable with this gun



Cons: Big?



Neutral: 4.5lb(3.5) trigger pull. training training training

I primarily carry a G17 with a X300 but, I do carry my G34 on occasion. I carried a Full size 1911 for a few years and the size of the 34 is identical so it isn't an issue for me.

I carry my G34 in a Safariland ALS paddle holster.   It's big and bulgy - winter carry or open carry are the only two options.  



Pros - better trigger, better accuracy, 2 extra rounds compared to the G19

Cons - extra weight, strong belt needed, tougher to conceal



Since the fullsize Glock 9mm mags fit any 9mm gun, I carry my G19 more often with 2 of my 17-rd mags.  I also carry the same mags when I'm carrying my 26.

I have carried mine concealed IWB before. It's not too bad, same size as the 1911 but a tad thicker maybe.
It prints no worse than a G17. It's not a terrible carry gun, but I do prefer the G19 or full size 1911 for day to day carry, just my preference.

I've done it with my MTAC slide, but I prefer my G17 for IWB CCW.

With the X300, Trijicon night sights and ComTac OWB holster, it makes a great open carry night time dog-walking pistol.

The Glock 34/35 is very close in size to a 5" 1911 as stated before.  In the past I carried one as CCW occassionally with no issues.  The barrel lenght is not a concern regarding concealability, the grip is the issue and the frame is the same as the 17/22/31 so I had no issues.  I never carried it in hot weather.
