| just looking for some input on the glock 34 I want to get a competiton gun and i am thinking this might be the one. What is the diference between the glock 17 L though? Has anyone ever used this gun for competiton?? is there any other guns that even compare to this sorry for all the questions thanks |

holsters arent an issue unless then end of them is closed. i carry my g34 in a blackhawk cqc for a g17. it fits fine, sticks out a bit and i had to trim it because it was hitting the extended mag release but otherwise, it fits perfect. on the hand of the gun, i love it. ive put about 300 rounds through mine in a couple trips and i'm still loving every bit of the gun. |
17L is longer than a 34, and is too big for most competitions. They have size limits, and the "gun must fit in the box". The 17L does not. That is why most folks use the 34. |
Correctamundo. The G34 will be far more useful/versatile. While a pretty sweet shooter, the G17L is pretty limited in application. In fact, IIRC, I'm not aware of any competitions where it is legal. |
For visual comparison -- top-to-bottom, 17L, 34, 17, 19, 26:  I haven't shot competition in years, and when I did it was with a modified 1911, so I can't address that part of your question. I will say that I like the 34 better than the 17L and only bought the 17L because I didn't have one...

| I love every aspect of the 34. I’ve had mine for a year now and have fired quite a few rounds with it. It’s quite good right out of the box, and I’m not sure if you’re allowed to make a lot of modifications to a competition gun, but there are some easy and fairly cheap things that you can do to make that gun shoot and feel even better than it already is. |
No. The comps are just to the rear of the front sight on the "C" models |
