You're right Bocadan.. Longer barrel, longer slide, longer sight picture, adjustable rear sights, extended magazine release, extended slide release, Lighter trigger pull, more expensive. I guess thats it.. I don't know if I miss something.
Not all 34's come with the "-" connector. If you get a blue label it may come with the standard connector or even "+" or NY1 or NY2 depending on the masochistic policies of the PD that the dealer usually sales too. malladu
Hmm misspoke. Thought they were ported. Well you can put a ported barrel in it Still can wait till I get one of these for comps.
With that correction, it has pretty much all been said. Unless you ask for different, may came with an adjustable rear sight also. While it is a novel idea, most get replaced.
other differences: g17&17c barrel length= 4.49", overall L= 7.32" unloaded weight: 22oz g17L barrel length = 6.02", overall L = 8.86" unloaded weight: 23.6 oz ( I've been told is disqualified from some competition ) g34 barrel length = 5.31", overall L = 8.15" unloaded weight: 22.9 oz ( for most competition )
My wife owns a 34 and was contemplating buying a 17L. I'm not into competition, but enjoy target practice. Anyone see a reason why they 17L would be a bad idea?
