GLOCK 34
The
GLOCK 34 is a 9 mm
pistol designed and manufactured by
GLOCK. It is a combat
competition shooting pistol with a standard
magazine capacity of 17
rounds of
ammunition. It is similar to both the
GLOCK 17 and the
GLOCK 17L. The receiver and magazine are interchangeable with those of the GLOCK 17. The
slide and
barrel are longer than those of the GLOCK 17.
The GLOCK 34 has become very popular in
IPSC shooting competitions because of its simple controls, adjustable sights, high durability and moderate price along with good accuracy.
Like most GLOCK guns, the name is often referred to as a "Glock" and not as "GLOCK". According to GLOCK—the company that manufactures the gun—this is incorrect. GLOCK refers to all its guns with all uppercase letters.
