Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key modifications on this ultimate Glock 34 build?

This Glock 34 build features a Taran Tactical Plus-5 magazine extension and magwell, Streamlight TLR-1 HL weapon light, custom stippling with a gas pedal cut, a Radian Guardian optic mount, Holosun EPS red dot, Dawson Precision sights, and a Glock Performance Trigger with a Johnny Glocks VEX shoe upgrade.

Why is the Glock 34 being discontinued, and what are the implications?

The presenter suggests Glock is moving towards modularity and that with the prevalence of optics, long slides like the G34's are becoming less necessary for sight radius. This means acquiring new G34s will become difficult, prompting interest in the used market.

What are the pros and cons of the Holosun EPS optic on this Glock 34?

The Holosun EPS is an enclosed emitter optic that co-witnesses with standard height sights, reducing height over bore. It's praised for its durability and performance, though the presenter notes it's a first-generation enclosed emitter and plans to explore higher-end options like Trijicon's in the future.

What trigger upgrade is used on this Glock 34, and how does it perform?

The build uses a Glock Performance Trigger with a Johnny Glocks VEX trigger shoe. This combination provides a crisp break around 3.5-4 lbs with a defined wall and a medium reset, offering an improved feel over the factory trigger while retaining some take-up for safety.
