Whats up with the 34?
Ben Stoeger explains his continued use of the Glock 34, a legacy choice from the iron sight era due to its longer sight radius. He notes that with red dot optics, sight radius is less critical, and preferences have shifted towards shorter recoil spring assemblies (like the Glock 19's) in longer slides (Glock 17/47 length), offering a quicker, more precise return to target. He advises against buying new Glock 34s, recommending models like the Glock 45 or 47 for modern shooting applications.
