G34 in the house Kit - Unexpected surprise

General Firearms Handguns - Semi Auto

Said goodby to my 1st 1911 today but got this whole package you see before you :slight_smile:

Brand New G34 and Brand new X300

Just made since to me as it falls in line with me centering myself around my carry platform. I still have 2 1911’s and I never really “loved” the Kimber Compact. I have a Colt CCO and Baer TRS if I feel the itch but the Glock is just a simple no frills, fix at home workhorse.

I was looking for a G17 and I CCW a G26/G19 and dont forsee the G17 being carried and this popped up local. Not 1 $ exchanged for this and I think I came out with gear I will use instead of having another gun in the safe. The X300 is my second one and looked into getting a second one a while back but there pretty pricey.

Looks like this will make a good SHTF setup for the house and the smaller brothers can share its mags :slight_smile:

Looks like G17 mags will be in my stocking :slight_smile:

Going to take this out this weekend for a report :slight_smile:

I already hear - Warren sights calling me :slight_smile:

Recently sold a 1911 to finance a M&P45. I know right where you’re coming from!

Since you didn’t sell the Colt I will forgive you!:mad:

Oh I feel ya there Greg believe me. Just makes since these days to consolidate platforms and calibers. The think I really dig about the glock is that the same caliber mags are usable in the smaller guns. To me that way simplifies the travel bag, and stashed magazines when need be such as glovebox, work bag, or “nightstand” mags.

the 34 is a great gun, love mine.

6

AWESOME! A G34 is very high up on my must buy list.

7

Me too, since I’ve sold all my M&Ps and am going back to Glock. G34 and G26 are my next planned acquisitions, unless the Gen 4s are released REAL soon.

8

I’m curious why you sold your M&P’s to go back to Glocks.

<not in any specific order>

  1. Better availability of spare parts
  2. I like STOCK Glock triggers better
  3. The Glock 19 is the optimum size compromise between the M&P and M&Pc to me.
  4. The slide release was in a worse spot on the M&P for where my thumbs tend to sit during firing.

Don’t get me wrong, I think the M&P is a fantastic pistol, and I think it improves on the Glock in several areas. I would not discourage someone from buying an M&P. Also, I still have my spare M&P mags and holster. However, Glocks work better OVERALL for me.

Thanks. I was just curious.

I agree about the Glock trigger being better than the stock M&P trigger. That’s why I had Bowie Tactical do trigger jobs on my M&Ps.

I told bgoode that I was holding off all new Glock purchases until after I see and have a chance to fondle the new 4th gens.

12

G34 was my first Glock. I watched Man On Fire too many times and had to get one.

I love it, very soft shooting.

13

I hate to admit it but its one of the reasons I picked mine up too. Great movie.

If my updated CCW would get here sometime soon I’d be carrying it instead of my 19.

14

Love my G34

15

The gen 4’s are out. I noticed your location is N. AL. Have you been to Larry’s? I have a G19 RTF on layaway but I think they’re out of those but I did see a couple of G22 RTF’s. I hope it’s ok for me to mention this info here I’m not trying to advertise just see a forum member in need. :wink:

16

RTF does not equal Gen 4.

Gen 4’s are NOT out yet.

17

I’d consider the RTF a Gen 3.5 if there ever was such a thing.

18

Please see this thread for info on the 4th generation Glocks: https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=39111

As already stated the RTF models are not considered the next generation.

Use of “generation” labels, a creation of the consumer…not GI, is rarely helpful. Use of manufacturer nomenclature and part numbers is. The obsession with the “generation” labeling needs to go.

Actually Glock (USA) has adopted the “generation” labeling and even posted so on the Glock USA Facebook page.
