The only difference that i can spot btween the G34 and the glock 17 is the shape....is that true ?

Longer barrel & lighter trigger pull (someone correct me on the trigger pull if I'm wrong please)

 

[Boracay]

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.

 

[BocaDan]

Good job boracay. Finally a tad heavier & price difference.

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.

You guys missed the biggest issue. The G34 comes with a cut slide and ported barrel.

No ported barrel.

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.

 

[G-23]

No ported barrel.

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 )

 

[Webphisher]

The 17L is disqualified from IDPA for sure. Not sure about the other leagues though.

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?
