Let me tell you about it with the enthusiasm of an enthusiast who has seen hundreds of these little marvels pass through his hands. This semi-automatic pistol is a concentrate of precision and performance that's sure to impress.

Glock G34 technical specifications

Le Glock G34 is an impressive pistol. With its 5.31-inch (135 mm) barrel, it is longer than its little brother, the Glock 17, while retaining the brand's legendary reliability. Chambered in 9x19mm, it has a 17-shot capacity magazine, enough to give you a good time at the shooting range without having to reload too often.

Ergonomic and functional design

The Gen 5 version of the G34 brings a host of ergonomic improvements. The stock, for example, has a non-slip texture with no finger grooves, providing a secure and comfortable grip. The trigger guard has been widened to make it easier to shoot while wearing gloves, a boon for shooters who practice in all weathers or in tactical conditions.

Finishes and options

The breech and barrel have a matt black nDLC finish that not only looks good, but also offers better protection against wear and tear. For enthusiasts of customisation, the MOS (Modular Optic System) version allows optical sights to be fitted, opening up new possibilities in terms of precision.

Performance and precision

The heart of the G34 is its new GMB (Glock Marksman Barrel). I can assure you that you'll feel the difference when you shoot it. Accuracy is really there, even at long range. Add to that an improved trigger with a trigger weight of around 2.4 kg, and you have a formidable tool in the hands of an experienced shooter.

Applications and popularity of the Glock G34

In my gun shop, I see all kinds of shooters, and I can tell you that the G34 is very popular! It's particularly popular for dynamic shooting and the IPSC (International Practical Shooting Confederation). But its use doesn't stop there.

A preferred choice for competitors

Sport shooters love this pistol. Its accuracy, reliability and ability to withstand a large number of shots make it an ally of choice in competition. I've seen shooters perform impressive feats with their G34, hitting targets at distances you'd think impossible for a pistol.
