Can somebody please explain the differences of these to me please? On the list this year, is a bigger gun, and not sure which to pick. They will both probaly be bought sight unseen, so there I am. Help please.
For the conversation, I already have 17's, and 22's, and well as a 19 too. |

Quoted:
17l is half an inch longer, and doesn't fit in the idpa box Also hard to get, limited runs This. if you buy a 17L you will be hard pressed to find a good compitition to shoot it in where your not shooting against hardcore race guns. G34 is a uber-niche pistol that gives you 100% of allowable length for IDPA. |

I just want a cool gun to shoot, and enjoy. I happen to like Glocks a lot, and am buying a few more. In going with one of the bigger pistols, just didn't know if I could go with the 34, of I just HAD to have a 17L. Sounds like this is ARFcom, and now I know what I must do.
PS, what mags does the 34 take? 17's? |

| I have shot a 24 (the 40 S&W version of the 17L size), and honestly I find the 34/35 size guns much more useful. I was a little more accurate with the 24, but the 34/35 are plenty "shootable" without being ridiculously long. They're also easier to find, usually cheaper, and IDPA/USPSA legal. |
| I have a 17 and a 17L. I'm planning to SBR the 17L. It is a very cool gun. I wanted as much barrel as possible so I'm happy I was able to find the 17L. (Ed's Public Safety in GA has a bunch of the 17L's, sequentially numbered, in stock. You can call them and order by phone) |
