[@justinm.791]

I've had a G34.5 on order with my local fun store since April 2020. We had a gun show in my city this weekend and I was able to pick one up... So looking forward to getting out with it!!!

[@allymabobberaimcom]

Love my g34.5. Swapped out the - connector for the traditional Glock dot connector and love it even more

[@KeanonGilliamSlang369]

Love the Gen 4 34. Long as you're not in a sandy or rocky environment where debris can get in, don't worry about the cut out. Can't wait to see the work on your Gen 3 34 comes out.

[@navyman8903]

You're right about that, I do still worry from time to time about it. Which is why I don't use it outside of the house or backpack gun. I really think the G5 non-MOS would be a winner. Hopefully Glock will help me out, but I doubt it.

[@mrgoodkat8567]

Keanon Gilliam its a non issue. As long as you dont get full on pebbles or stones in the slide you’re fine. Plenty of yt vids showing guys dumping sand in to the cut out and the gun runs just fine

[@Gieszkanne]

There is a G34 torture test video where they put a hand full of sand/dirt directly into the cut out but it runs flawless after that. I really was surprised.

[@EH-kz3if]

My duty 17 has the same marks from my ALS. I thought it was weird as hell till I started lookin' other dudes' guns and they had it and I look a peek in the holster and it made more sense after that.

[@seano4822]

As a Beretta 92 guy, I’m always tempted by a Glock just for cheap mags and parts but I don’t really care for a “mad max scenario” in terms of why to own one. I also love the look of the 34 but it’s hard to justify given the different manual of arms and grip angle to practice with. Idk what this itch is!

[@clintwestwood1895]

hope you are now in the Glock family; I was a Berretta 92 and Sig p226 guy for years now my constant companion is my G17 gen4

[@LOMROB]

Unfortunately, the Safariland duty holsters do that to the top of gun slides. Been using a Safariland SLS and ALS for 15- 16yrs

[@ronney2a]

The G34.5 imo is the most addictive to shoot

[@elliottbutts153]

When you shoot a pistol so well and get good hits it’s hard not to really like it. That’s what the 17 and 34 are for me. I shoot a lot of pistols well but the 17 and 34 are always consistently great. It’s hard to not love em, even when you don’t want too.

[@navyman8903]

They really are good at what they do, and I'm happy with those choices for the Glocks in my inventory. I get a lot of shit from my buddies about not having a 19, but I honestly don't need it. I don't hate it, but it's just not for me. Same with the 26. I've got my P30sk or VP9sk for that.

[@user-pv9pv4xf9c]

yeah, against my behest, my brother bought a GLock 17, the first one I ever shot, and I hated that I liked it. I didn't wanna be a Glock guy, but eventually I got myself a 19, because, ya know, why not? And now I only own Glock pistols. I sold my other ones.

[@JonConley]

Did the undercut myself on my Gen5 G26 to save ~$130. Knuckle-cut and support-hand cut. I love it. Minimal slip-ups with the dremel; smoothed it all out with extremely fine sandpaper and CLP / water. Just make sure you round out the corners as you go. It's not that big of a deal. You can do it. :) Also, I recommend just keeping the beavertail. Glock-Bite is real. You won't regret keeping it on there. Some people chop the strap right under the tail and then stipple or wrap the grip. I debated but ended up just keeping it and wrapping a Talon around it. You might get away with sanding down the edges and it might be fine, too. If you haven't checked them out: I would suggest grabbing the Tango Down (Uncle Larry-branded) 'Slide Racker' slide cover plate replacement (inspired by the VP9's 'ears'). On older Glocks, it's just nice to have for added gripping surface; on the Gen 5 slide finish, I consider it mandatory, honestly. Not sure what they were thinking making it so slippery and brittle. Give it a look: tangodown.com/shop/vickers-tactical-slide-racker-gsr-03/ They also stock those parts on Brownells (which is probably cheaper if you have a coupon).

[@JonConley]

Also, new Glock model coming down the pipe today, apparently. This may be of interest to you, provided any of the info is accurate: www.firearmrack.com/glock-45-black-glock-19x/

[@navyman8903]

I might attempt it myself, we'll see. I'll have to do some research and see if it's something I'm comfortable doing.

[@JonConley]

@@navyman8903 if you end up doing it yourself, just don't rev up the Dremel to the higher RPM setting, otherwise, it melts the plastic. Use small heads and get a felt polishing head to smooth things out with a wet polishing job. Some people use toothpaste or Flitz. If it's a Gen 3, there's always the Polymer80 route. :)

[@glock17ninja]

The current ALS lock on safari land holsters make those drag marks on the slide behind the ejection port. All of my Glocks have the same marks

[@navyman8903]

Damn, thanks for the info. That's a shame, usually safariland doesn't mark up a gun like that.

[@glock17ninja]

Yeah it’s just because it has two hard anchors that lock on the ejection port so it’s rough on the area.

[@riiddisbuk2496]

Previous Gen Glocks are cool and all, but Gen 5 Glock 34 in particular (because of the slight barrel modification from previous Gen Glocks) is what I heard to be; *One of the most accurate 9mm pistols of all time.* So much so that I bought one for myself due to such. They weren't kidding on accuracy O_O 👍👍

[@tacratt6091]

Glock 34 is my favorite gun to shoot, they just balance so well in your hand! I have a Gen3 and a Gen5, I just trust a Glock, I bought my first one around 1988, it’s still shooting fine, I like the G45 also, I still carry a G19 in my truck though, I’ve never had a problem with the G19. My dad just passed away and I got his 17,19,and 43. I carry a 43 mainly.

[@MichaelES333]

Safariland als/sls holsters cause that wear. I use a safariland 6360 for my work holster and it’s rubbed those lines on the top of my slide

[@navyman8903]

Thanks for the feedback. I was looking at getting a few in the future, but that gives me some pause.

[@dkveracity65able]

Hi Michael, what concealed holster do you use for your 34?

[@iceblock3]

Did you ever send this 34 off for Taran tactical if so is there a update video or can you make one on it ?!

[@navyman8903]

No Sir I did not. I took a different route and needed more rifles in the safe. I'm also getting suppressors and gear, I'm saving custom work for after I get everything else taken care of.

[@johngalt234]

Since you are worried about dremel-ing your own gun, you could buy a 80% lower frame or (what I did) a Sig P320 grip module for $40. That would let you practice on the cheap.

[@SystemEncephale]

Check out Fowler Industries. The barrels are match fit. There is no barrel play. I don’t regret a single cent I spent on my MK1. The G34 is a Mk3 and it is out standing. The owner offers military discount and offers different sight configurations. Taran is outstanding but Fowler is a cut above. Not even Salient and Agency match fit their barrels anymore.

[@Tarsarian]

Look at the Grip on a G17/34 then look at the G19 Grip angle. The way you grip it may have a lot to do with shot grouping!

[@jaidenwickk7997]

Flashlights that extend farther than the barrel are better because if you press the pistol into "somthing" it can push the slide out of battery just my 2 cents.

[@navyman8903]

There is something to be said for having a stand off device of some sort like that. But I just like how it looks.

That slide ware is from a magnet of some kind. Like a car magnet. Thats what I thought when I saw those marks.

[@Gun_Dae]

Great video as always. Its a Shame you don't like the 26. I own one and I like it but to each his own. So I've read one excuse about why that bump is there on the Gen 4s. Supposedly it's there to make the slide require a little more resistance to pull off when disassembling. Reason for this is because the slides were too easy to pull off the frame, and with the Gen 4s it could be a problem because the user could potentially drop it onto concrete, which might Crack the front end of the slide because of how thin the guide rod portion of the front end is to accommodate the double recoil spring. You probably can't really tell with the 34, but you can with the 19, 17, 26, etc. I've also read that it's to keep the trigger bar in line. Considering how ridiculous the excuses of Glock fan boys can be I don't really know how valid that is, but I thought I'd throw that out there.

[@navyman8903]

That's interesting I didn't know about that excuse. Doesn't really sound that legit, but it's still a thing I guess.

I've still got it Jessi. I'm going to do an update again here soon, but I had to go out again. It's on my list of things to do and projects to knock out. I'll be sending it to Wilson in about 6 months, before I send the G34 out. I might try to sell it though when I get it finished. I'm going to try to stick to P226's, Glock 17/34, and my extensive HKs. Just for magazines, but if I love it I'll keep it. But she's still there. I'm also going to have the slide milled to take Trijicon HD's so I can carry it if I want to. I really like the gun, but I don't take it out much. I'm on the fence with it, but I'm going to see the project through to the end and get at least another 600 rounds through it to take it to 1000. But complete refresh/update with parts, and the Wilson combat job. I'll update it when I get back home. Look for the video after the holidays. (sorry for the wait, but it'll be with the new camera equipment and the nice lighting on the table.)

[@Stag15L]

seriously try the 19x..... i know its weird but its probably the best feeling glock ive ever owned. trigger and barrel are awesome and the coating on the slide is pretty wear resistant

Drew Miller I totally agree. I changed the night sights on my 19x to Night Fision Paul Markel Accur8’s. Everything else is stock. It’s the best Glock I’ve ever run. If it ever comes out in black I’ll pick up a second one. Fantastic pistol!🇺🇸🗽🦅🇦🇹

[@nastymkfan]

@@navyman8903 It’s our hands that are bigger than others I believe and we tend to place our hands as high as possible on the pistol grip. The finger grooves and the trigger guard cause the middle finger discomfort after 40 rounds of shooting the G19 Gen 3 in the range. My brother’s G19 Gen 5 is waaaaay better but he’s a cop and I’m not so he’s allowed to have it. We are in CA.

[@doommodena]

[@TheLegoJoker]

Why not just buy the Gen 5 34 MOS and leave the plate on it? I don’t understand why the plate is a dealbreaker. Am I missing something or is it an OCD thing?

[@navyman8903]

The sights are too far to the rear to install any after market sights I would want to put on there. Well, the only sights I would want to put on there, Trijicon HD's. The rear sight would be hanging off the frame. If you look at honestoutlaw's video his Glock 34 has that same issue. If you look at mine, they have the place holder sights, not the adjustable sights. So they can take the trijicon HD's without a fitment issue. Also, most dudes lose the plate over time. They always fall off and sometimes they get lost. I'd just rather not have the fitment issue or the plate I'm not going to use.

[@TheLegoJoker]

Oh, I didn’t realize that. I’m glad I asked because I was considering selling my gen 5 Glock 19 to switch to the MOS version just to lose the front cutout, which admittedly is only a mild annoyance to me. Not going to do that now because I also prefer night sights. Thanks for the info!

[@ITHINKUREALESUK]

It's interesting that out of the projects you've shared on the to do list, you've side stepped to the glock thing. No disrespect but the projects you've planned just seem a lot more relevant to your goals than this change of plans for glocks.

[@careylymanjones]

I'm not a Glock fanboi, but I like the 34, too. It's one of the few longslide pistols that are light enough for concealed carry. Glocks look better in the longer slide lengths. The proportions are just better. Compared to the 34, the 19 is just plain fugly. And don't get me started on the subcompacts. The 26, 27, and 30 are almost Nambu ugly.

[@mrgoodkat8567]

Keanon Gilliam had one and loved it. Softest shooing poly 45 out there. And thats comparing it to the 21 i had and also the usp45 and hk45. Imo the hk45 was the worst handling of the four by quite a bit. Grip feels really good in the hand but with it being so narrow, it transfers every ounce of recoil in to your hand and wrist. Plus its snappy as hell, like .40 +p in a 4” barrel gun snappy. Sold that pos quite quickly
