As Best Police Guns stated in the opening paragraph of this Glock 34 review, the Glock 34 falls under the category of the Glock 9mm pistols. The other Glock 9mm guns are the Glock 17, Glock 19, and Glock 26. The Glock 34 is the competition model and has specific features geared towards competitive shooting. In this Glock 34 review, Best Police Guns is going to provide you with all the details of the Glock 34 including the Glock 34 price.

Competition shooting has one main goal and that is to be as accurate as you can possibly be. A shooter can only be as accurate as his/her pistol will allow. While all the Glock guns are accurate, their completion models such as the Glock 34 feature the highest level of accuracy. This high level of accuracy is achieved in the Glock 34 by having an extended barrel, and larger slide dimensions. As a result of the extended barrel, the Glock 34 also has a longer distance between the front and rear sights. This adds to the level of accuracy. We talk about the length of the barrel for the Glock 34 and it is about one inch longer than the Glock 17, the full size Glock 9mm gun. Check out all the Glock 34 data below.

Glock 34 specifications:

  • Caliber- 9 mm
  • Weight (Loaded)- 930 grams
  • Weight (Unloaded)- 650 grams

If you were to also take the Glock 34 specs and match them up with the Glock 17 specs, you will see the Glock 34 is slightly heavier and the line of sight is about one inch longer. In addition the Glock 34 has a trigger pull of 4.5 pounds compared to the Glock 17 trigger pull of 5.5 pounds. The lighter trigger pull is geared for competitive shooting as you are trying to get your rounds off as fast as possible. The lighter trigger pull also reduces slightly the room for error when pulling the trigger.

While you can get some Glock accessories for your Glock 34, most of the gun has already been "tricked" out for what it is designed for. Best Police Guns has seen a lot of customization on the Glock 34 that isnft sold by Glock. The Glock accessories are mainly designed for the non competition Glock models. With that being said, you can easily get the Glock 34 with three different factory issued Glock sights; fixed, Glock sights, Trijicon sights. Here are the Glock 34 prices with each type of night sight.

  • Fixed sights: $520.00
  • Glock sights: $575.00
  • Trijicon sights: $600.00

You will see the Glock 34 is slightly more expensive than the other Glock prices and that is just because of the specialty stuff on the Glock 34 that we have mentioned in this Glock 34.

If the Glock 34 isnft your choice for a Glock competition gun, there is one other option for you. The Glock 35 is a Glock 40 competition gun and features virtually the same components of the Glock 34 just in a .40 caliber model. No matter which Glock competition gun you choose, you are going to be very happy and more accurate in the games!
