Description
Product Overview
The Glock 34 GEN4 is a purpose-built competition pistol designed for shooters who demand superior accuracy and control. As the premier model in Glock’s “Practical/Tactical” long-slide series, the G34 GEN4 features a 135mm (5.32-inch) barrel and an extended sight radius, engineered to deliver exceptional hit probability, especially during rapid fire sequences. This 9mm handgun is a top choice for practical shooting sports enthusiasts, from USPSA and IDPA competitors to tactical training professionals. Its design prioritizes a stable sight picture and manageable recoil, translating directly to tighter groupings and faster follow-up shots. Weighing 23.10 oz. unloaded, it maintains a balanced feel that serious shooters appreciate.
Key Features
- Competition-Optimized Barrel & Sight Radius: The extended 135mm barrel and corresponding slide length increase the distance between the front and rear sights. This longer sight radius provides a significant mechanical advantage for precise aiming, minimizing sight alignment errors.
- GEN4 Dual Recoil Spring Assembly: This system effectively dampens felt recoil and reduces muzzle flip. The result is faster sight recovery and improved controllability, allowing you to maintain your target focus during strings of fire.
- Modular Back Strap System (MBS): Includes multiple back strap inserts (small, large, and two beavertail designs) to customize the grip circumference and angle. This ensures a natural point of aim and a secure, comfortable hold for a wide variety of hand sizes.
- Rough Textured Frame (RTF): The frame features an enhanced, aggressive grip texture on the sides and front strap. This ensures a positive grip in all conditions, a critical factor for maintaining control during dynamic movements and in adverse weather.
- Adjustable Rear Sight: Comes equipped with a rear sight adjustable for windage, allowing shooters to fine-tune their point of impact to match specific ammunition or personal preference without replacing components.
- Proven Safe Action System: Maintains Glock’s consistent, safe trigger pull from first to last shot with its three independent safety mechanisms. This reliability is non-negotiable in both competition and rigorous training environments.
Performance & Applications
The GLOCK 34 GEN4 excels in structured environments where performance is measured. In USPSA’s Production or Carry Optics divisions, the pistol’s inherent accuracy and capacity (using standard magazines) make it a dominant platform. The extended barrel and slide not only aid accuracy but also facilitate smoother tracking of the front sight through recoil, a key for competitive stage times.
For intensive tactical training courses, the G34 GEN4 offers exceptional durability and shootability. The reduced perceived recoil and enhanced grip allow for extended practice sessions with less shooter fatigue, while the consistent trigger aids in developing muscle memory. Its reliability under high round counts is well-documented.
Finally, as a dedicated home defense firearm, it provides the user with the confidence that comes from a platform known for utter reliability, paired with the enhanced accuracy benefits of its longer sight plane. The 9mm chambering offers effective terminal performance with widely available ammunition choices.
