I’m very Old School, 1911 & CZ75 Old. That being said, the Glock 34 converted me to plastic striker fired pistols. To give you a little perspective I will tell you that when I entered Military Service the issue pistol was still the 1911! Transition to the Beretta was underway however it had just started and we were required to qualify with both. If you are Old School hardcore 1911 or Browning Hi-Power like I was, one of those guys who will “never” carry one of those “plastic” pistols, give the 34 a shoot, you may be surprised.

[@djgriffin7393]

Took mine to the range yesterday, and although a true diehard 1911 fan I must say that this has easily become my favorite pistol.

[@jameshasko80]

I just picked mine up so far i love it

[@sahmadi1000]

Thanks for the real showing of this gun.

[@herosupport1606]

bought this gun and went to an outdoor range with steel targets made it ring on all the targets missed rarely never going to sell it.

[@mlmperez1114]

Frame not an RTF, I have a 17RTF2w/gills & 34GEN5MOS. The 17 sticks to my hand like flypaper. The 34 shoots amazing, but had to add homemade grips with skateboard tape to get the RTF2 feel. Now, it really rocks!

[@christopherhall4426]

I have a gen 3 G34 w/finger grooves, which I prefer on the larger size frames. The texture isn't the greatest on gen 3s, but skateboard tape readily solves that issue. The grip circumference is great (no backstraps necessary or available). Throw an aftermarket magwell on it, and it'll work better than the "built-in" magwell of the gen 5. Although no MOS is available on the gen3, I would prefer to mill the slide for a dedicated red dot (which would be more stable in the long run). Doesn't matter what gen 34, it is an awesome platform!

[@proudamerican7895]

I just bought one, I haven't shot it at the range yet, I have been practicing at home on my laserlyte target at 15 ft I can keep the shots in a 3 inch circle, I got the one with the 4.5 lb trigger and night sighs, I like it a lot.

[@franx3239]

They come stock with night sights ? I’m not sure about that

[@victorvillafane252]

Nice video sir you convinced me to get a new Glock 34

[@jackaequitas2050]

That’s an awesome gun and you should have more subscribers keep up the good work man! Your one of the first reviews I’ve seen on the new Gen 5 2018 line

[@timshea1018]

just baught one can not wait to start firing it.

[@mlmperez1114]

I love my 34gen5MOS its a tack driver!!!!!

[@zzrguy1200]

The 34 Gen5 also come with the GLOCK MARKSMAN BARREL. Never saw the reason for f Lite loads 9mm for competition so I have no need for a cut out slide. Other then the cool factor.

[@coryrudd9509]

I was really hoping you would compare muzzle flip/felt recoil against the Gen4 due to the cutout in the slides not being on the Gen 5. If I am going to make a race gun I still want to do as little as possible to the gun as necessary and sending it off to a gunsmith to make a cutout when i just could have bought a gen 4 would be good to know. I am already planning on a trigger job as a worst case scenario so what is the felt recoil based on slide changes.

[@rogersiples3335]

My new g34 has front slide serrations also. A competition barrel will help accuracy.

[@megacleancab256]

I wonder what the weight difference is between the ben4 mos slide and the gen 5 slide

[@jackaequitas2050]

Awesome thank you so much are these regularly available in gun shops or did you have to get this pre ordered ?

[@johndeere1951a]

2022 dime a dozen now ✌️

[@sallywallnuts8471]

Have you shot the sig 320 xfive and if so how would you compare it to the gen 5 g34

[@The1GoldenRule]

I bought a Gen 4 a couple weeks ago. I’ve only put about 200 rounds through it, but love it. With the extended slide catch, you have to be careful not to let your thumb depress it. That’ll cause the slide to not lock back. I had that issue the first few mags I shot until I figured it out.

[@johnpaulsasotona9083]

How does it compare to Gen 4 or Gen 3?

[@23richardmania]

I just want to know if the barrel on the gen 4 g34 is compatible with the gen 5 g34.thank you

[@umami0247]

Why did they stop with the slide cut?? Did they make the slide thinner and in my view weaker don’t quite understand the change..

[@hopecamel]

Must be two iterations of the gen5. Mine has forwarded serrations and doesn’t have that stupid cut out in the grip. Just bought it as my new carry gun haven’t been able to get it to the range yet

[@frostriver4547]

I know this is an old video, but this should be a 5.3 inch barrel. Gen 5 barrels also have updated rifling

[@saintnick604]

Slayer intro! So this is the first version of the gen 5 right? Isn't there a newer version with the front serration?

[@francisgoldstien6153]

Yes And it doesn't have the mag cutout at the bottom FS- front serrations Got one yesterday

[@TheLowLandGardener]

Is this recomended for beginners like me?

[@j.n.572]

Why is no one mentioning the lack of slide cutouts on this pistol. I mean that's the absolute first thing I noticed when I saw one. How is this getting missed.

[@denniswilson9317]

Absolutely. That is the most obvious change.

[@murcielagosv9244]

I never really liked the cut out. Just a huge gap for foreign material to potentially cause a jam.

[@Rot05]

Not having a window is actually a feature for the G34 Gen 5 . Glock got alot of feedback from customers saying they did not like the window. Windows cause more issues than they solve. They thinned the slide to compensate for not having the window cut to have the same slide weight of a Glock 17.

[@pappaclutch3266]

I love the no cut out!

[@TheLowLandGardener]

I missed that and yeah it looks better without it.

[@therealnickburkhardtn6596]

That gun is awesome I want to get one for my brother for his birthday

[@jeffreywoods3544]

therealnickburkhardt n Wish I was brother. I’m available for adoption.

[@joelorozco3768]

Is the new coating on the slide better?

[@MickeyWinsteadWinstead]

what your thoughts on plastic frames

[@McDrunkerson]

Friend just got one with 3 of the 10 round mags. Had four FTFs in the first 20 rounds, next 100 went ok. Not sure what to think of this, the Sig 226 never did that even new. Probably bad mags but they were new and they were Glock so...

[@McDrunkerson]

@Spade - Wow, a rebuttable totally worthy of your intellect...or lack thereof.

[@JC-gy5bh]

I really liked the open top slide on the 34/35, they should have kept it tho. Other than that the gen5 is my fav.

[@blackticalmayhem8461]

really lol i hated it on the gen 4 and gen 3 dirt an dust can get in the slide too easily lol

[@JC-gy5bh]

@@blackticalmayhem8461 I totally agree, I would never carry a Clock or any handgun with slide cuts, however for competition I'd lighten it as much as I could on the limit of reliability , a malfunction in competition is not the end of the world, however a malfunction in the real world could be, so I agree on the dirt/dust issue for carry.

[@Canes-kh5bq]

Love my g34 g5 it’s a great range gun great for comp, changing the sights but I could use the Glock sights they work fine just prefer the Dawson’s and if you can open carry it’s still a light gun for a long slide.

[@MrBeasley1]

Nice, but the lighting could be better on your inside look.

[@Tacteyecool]

Smooth trigger is not new on five . Was on GEN three GEN four all have smooth triggers on 17 size on up. Lloaded chamber do hickey has been around for many models as well.

[@mic187x2]

Don't ever break the chain. Fleetwood Mac.

[@ericgrinnellsr.832]

I didn't get the adapter plates. I didn't get the cleaning rod.

[@badgumby9544]

Slide didn't lock back because of your grip. Your thumbs are dragging the slide. I did the same thing. Shooting left and low is common with full size Glocks. It's a combo of poor grip, improper trigger pull and shot anticipation. We all do it. Not a bad group though. I've got one of these coming thru the new Glock promotion for Veterans with a DD214 being able to buy Blue Label guns until Labor Day. If you're a Veteran now's the time to buy a Glock.

[@dattape2828]

poor hand grip is right

[@hamishalexander5048]

love my 34 less recoil than 1,5kg heavy guns love it

[@rpjr5637]

Help, I need a holster, must be level 2 or 3 for the 34 G5. TIA.

[@johnvelicu3351]

I LOVE THAT GUNS ,, SUPER

[@jackaequitas2050]

Is that Slide one solid piece no cut at thee top?

[@misterguns5271]

There's no cut above the barrel, but there is an RMR cut

[@seanvine39]

The G34 gen5 mos is the best shooting gun Glock has made to date.

[@quickdubbs328]

Sounds like it has serious mean kick 2 it! What grain were u shooting? Hopefully, the gen 5 .45 will be on the same slide principle as the gen 34? If so Ill have that caliber in my name!

[@perryklein1790]

Quick Dubbs not sure is Gen 5 is specific to 9×19 only.

[@505fastlife6]

Exactly my thoughts. This gun in 45acp would be way too cool.

[@drewgraysonxoxopanda]

Glock 34 uses the same glock 17 frame, wish it came with a optional 17 complete slide...

[@mlmperez1114]

Would the glock gen4 slide stop fit the gen5? I hate the ambi slide stop!!!

[@bramhazelhorst5802]

I like

[@charliecox479]

I believe the only difference between the four and the five Is the four has finger grips And the five is just flat grips.

[@Mike-gh7vk]

Low and left means you need more finger on the trigger, and you're anticipating shots.

[@SShysterFraudstein]

Is the only way to get the 34 in 5 with the M(P)OS rail?

[@denniswilson9317]

Wondering that too.

[@gtdfirearmsllc4759]

Huh?

[@nawazboss5079]

How i can purchase glock g47 gen 5 mos pistol? Dear friends help me. Please please please

[@TWDxKILL3R]

I got the same gun but the sights are not adjustable....

[@maxmccain8950]

No finger grooves, yeah!

[@Robert-jx8nr]

Shit I want it, I’ve got the Gen 4 Glock 41

[@mlmperez1114]

Not the rtf2 frame. Rtf2 frames are only 3gen pistols.

[@richvanwinkle]

Sorry Glock but I just purchased my IWI Masada 9mm. Every bit as good as good (if not better). Also has more features on it that I wanted. Not to bash Glock and it cost almost $300.00 less !!! Before you buy compare got yourself. Good Shooting 😃

[@FirstnameLastname-vy2dg]

I was going to go with the masada over this pistol but IWI isnt sure they are going to make the chassis swappable on the masada and glock has so many aftermarket parts available plus it looks better imo and its reliable and will def hold its value over the masada if I ever get in a tight spot

[@richvanwinkle]

First name Last name Happy you got yourself a Glock. Out of all my handguns (only have eight) the Masada is still my “go to gun”. I have put a couple thousand rounds of 115, 124, and 147 grain through it and haven’t had one hiccup. Don’t know maybe I’m just lucky but I trust this gun. Sometimes with my life. As far as resale goes we’ll have to wait and see. With that said I’m purchasing a Glock G45 (no mos). After I receive it going to send it to Agency Arms and have them convert into the Sage Dynamics Signature Pistol. Version 2. Among other things it will have Optic System (AOS) Premier Line Barrel and Compensator with Gunsmith Fitted Trigger Group.This will be my first Glock. Thank you for your reply ! I always welcome other peoples view points and experiences. Good shooting and stay well.

[@glennnapuli9644]

It depends on the shooter. Focus on the gun more please. 😊

[@coryrudd9509]

yes, cutout vs non.... felt recoil.....

[@Gizmo_The_Familiar]

bang bang bang bang bang bang ding.

[@P.E.J.]

50% hits - not so impressive........

[@MisterGunsPlano]

Just screwing around man. That's why I left it. It's funny and stupid

[@a_tired_dad]

The sights are usually off out of the box. The paper group shows the accuracy

[@geneellis217]

why cant I buy Gen 5 in San Diego? My dream Glock is the 46 not available yet.

[@SantinoP619]

Gene Ellis because The City of San Diego doesn’t want Americans to exercise our gun rights!!

[@AGC828]

Everyone's first gun is usually a Glock 19...I say make it a 34. Unless you KNOW you're going to be a Glock fanboy. :) And will hae the 19, 17, 21 and 34. Why I have no idea.

[@bestmillimeter1858]

I miss the slide cut. It made the 34 distinctive from the 17.

[@danhantheman]

Mel Laknanurak I hated it

[@Rot05]

Most do. Not having a window is actually a feature for the G34 Gen 5 .

[@beelvanbuurenful]

The PDP pro destroys this gun for cheaper.

[@badgumby9544]

You can't get reliable accuracy results shooting off hand. Too much user influence. You have to bench rest it.

[@thelos8093]

Either you are new to glocks or you didn't do your research before making the video

[@301joey1]

Honest question, not hating on Glock...I read reviews by Glock guys all the time and just about all complain about the sights, If Glock is perfection why does this issue still exist?

[@TristanPetricca]

They now come with metal sights which is a step up from the plastic ones in previous generations. They are decent, and a good place to start, but most people want more. Glock started to learn and on the new Glock 19x they put combat night sights. I prefer to replace the sights with Dawson Precision sights because those are the best for what I am doing and I have them on my GLock 35, so I'm used to them. I think it's just preference. I see many people leave their stock sights on and shoot well.

[@301joey1]

Sounds good, thanks.

[@Bajaheat]

Tristan Petricca since when did they start coming with metal sights?

[@TristanPetricca]

I know the Glock19x comes with metal night sights, not 100% sure about the other Gen 5's

[@robwilliams239]

The most accurate pistol I’ve ever shot

[@sohot99]

MAGA buy SW MP9 5" barrel :)

[@leadfarmer5035]

This is not an RTF-2 frame! L

[@traeucity6087]

I'm glad they did away with that stupid opening in the slide. Only a fool would think that having a large opening on top of the gun, wouldn't allow more crud to get inside. It wasn't even aesthetically pleasing; so I don't know what people are whining about?

[@johndeere1951a]

Maybe the best of Glock breed Really great improvement on the trigger, 5.31" barrel matters, grip and texture slightly improved but still really lacking compared to any other pistol, especially CZ or Walther. Any Glock should only cost 198.oo because of the 40 year old plastic frame. Krap frames 👎

[@muscle99sav]

Lol turned it off after he missed 75 percent of his shots lol

[@MisterGunsPlano]

Y'all are brutal lol. It's just messing around and a mag dump. Not idpa.

[@nerdyhustle]

Am I​ an idiot for considering the Gen 5 Glock 34 for home defense and range?

[@misterguns5271]

Nerdy Hustle of course not. It's great for that. It's accurate and controllable and easy to handle. It's a great choice. For concealed carry it's a little large but for at home it's a great choice

[@waynenoname]

There are two kinds of people that consistently put the muzzle into the hand palm--especially when field stripping the Glock: 1. Those that have shot themselves through the hand, and 2. Those that are going to shoot themselves through the hand. Huge safety violation, specifically, never point the muzzle at what you would not want destroyed.

[@mgway4661]

Dude shutup. If it's cleared then who gives a shit?

[@exoticguns9133]

I won't buy a Glock 34 without the factory slide cut I absolutely refuse to💯

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

Exotic Guns91 I agree, Glock made a mistake with that. It's the G34's trademark.

[@exoticguns9133]

WookieJinx the last two gens function flawlessly with the factory slide cut so I don't see you're point here🤔

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

WookieJinx The cut out was originally to lighten the slide if you were using certain loads in competition so it would function properly. Glock now takes the weight out the slide elsewhere.

[@herosupport1606]

without a place for objects to fall into like rocks and other things that can cause malfunctions sounds great to me.

[@exoticguns9133]

Hero Support if you are worried about you're gun getting dirty you probably don't shot much.

[@mrhellotherehowareu1384]

Why are you yelling? What did I do?

[@MisterGunsPlano]

Probably because I'm deaf from shooting guns.

[@RevGunn-jq3cq]

Screw the gen 5 it shoots no better than the gen 4 mos. My competition Walther PPQ shoots better than both. I keep the 34 gen 4 only for shooting GSSF Matches

[@Bajaheat]

Rev. Gunn have you shot the gen 5? I ask bc the gen 5 outshot my gen 4 by far

[@RevGunn-jq3cq]

Bajaheat Yes, it's a fine gun but I don't think it's worth the cost for me to make the upgrade. I bought gen 4 mos for GSSF matches but neither beats my Walther Q5.

[@badgumby9544]

My Q5 was nice. Best factory trigger there is IMHO. But, it has a lot of muzzle flip.
