Army’s Modular Handgun System (MHS) competition. Billed as a crossover – a G17 frame modified to fit a G19 slide – this gun is the descendant of Glock’s entry to the U.S. It would no doubt handle the extended round count as again, the weapon ran without error.

The rear sights faded from view and I was able to continually pick up the orange dot when targeting. ![]() The G34 was equipped with a set of AmeriGlo H3 17 with a large, orange dot on the front post. While there, we didn’t have the benefit of a micro red dot, but the installed sights on the pistol were outstanding. Media representatives were invited to Glock’s in-house range after the introduction where we collectively sent thousands of rounds downrange. The G34 is only marginally longer than the G17, but this extra barrel makes it seem like a missile silo.ĭesigned for competition and extreme accuracy, the Gen5 version of the G34 benefits from the upgrades present in other Gen5s: The G34 is a long-slide 9mm with MOS (modular optics system) capability. ![]()
