A New Glock!
-
I've managed to hold off acquiring a Glock pistol for the longest time, but finally succumbed to the temptation last weekend.
Presenting the latest addition to my collection: A Glock 34! Here are some images I took of it this morning:
-
What a beauty..

Hey Bro,
Am sure you're more pro den me in this aspect.Would using diesel be better as compared to using "Break-free" to clean arms?
-
Large ventilation on top of the slide for the barrel? Hmm wouldn't make it easier to jam?

Hmm... I've heard of people using regular gasoline to clean the metal components of their firearms, but not diesel. Doesn't mean that diesel won't work, though.

According to Glock's product literature, that hole serves to lighten the slide and relieve any perceived "front-heaviness" associated with an extended barrel pistol.
Another benefit of that hole is the abilty to use aftermarket compensated barrels.

nice pick on the G34.... I use a Glock 35 and use a lonewolf conversion 9mm barrel! great little gun although I did not like the grip angle of the Glock .
Still prefer the 1911 , CZ type grip angle!

Thanks, Dave!
It's funny you mentioned Lone Wolf - I ordered a G17L barrel from them last night. The muzzle is going to extend a bit farther in front of the slide than the stock G34 barrel, but I think it'll look okay.
I've also performed the (in)famous 25-cent trigger job and installed a lighter (4 lb.) striker spring. The trigger pull is much improved over stock, and now breaks at just a little over 3 lbs.
The grip angle takes a little getting used too, but assuming you're not flip-flopping between the Glock and another gun with a different grip angle during the same range session, it should not be a problem.

Kool! let me know how the 17L barrel worked out! Yes you are right... maybe I am so use to the CZ,1911,SIG etc pistol angle and my muscle memory is all set for it ! when using a Luger P08 or the Glock my POI changes until a few rounds and get use to it
I like the 0,25 cents trigger job! and yes! it would smoothen out the horrandous stock trigger of GLock! I hate the spongy feeling!
Just bought me a new SMith and Wesson M&P in the gunshow last weekend ! the gun has a very good feel.... did not like the magzine safety features! but other than that! a very well made pistol indeed.

Hey Dave or Meia, say if I were to use alittle diesel to clean my weapon,as I was told it works better den "Break-Free" in clearing out the carbon, how would you guys recommend me to clear off the diesel later?As I don't wanna go range or chiong sua and have the weapon combusting.
Thanks!
-
I use Mrpo7 for cleaning all my weapons! amd they really do clean out those bad carbon buildup!
After that is done, a small light coat of militec would do!
I ahve use that religiously and have worked in desert, texas woodlands with no issues!

I would not use Diesel or CLP mainly in sandy or desert or dirt, the media will collect more dirt on the weapon! very prone to jamming espeically weapons like AR15 or M16.

I use diesel to clean and then use industrial paper to dry the components.Nothing has combusted so far.

nice g34..is it competition sized? I guess it uses a 9mm Luger?
i remember using a Bar Sto for a 34 in a shoot before..not bad

Hmm... using diesel fuel to clean firearms. I've never tried it or heard of people who've done so. However, regular gasoline has been used by gun owners to clean their firearms, so I would not be surprised if diesel would work too.(Just to be safe, though, it might be a good idea to make sure that the diesel doesn't come into contact with the non-metallic parts of the firearm, as it may discolour or even melt those parts.)

I'm cheap! The cleaning regimen for my firearms involves swabbing the bore with Hoppes #9, letting it sit for about 15 minutes to dissolve the powder residue and carbon buildup, scrubbing the bore with an appropriately-sized bronze or copper bore brush, then finally flushing all the gunk out with several blasts from a can of generic non-chlorinated brake cleaner.
The brake cleaner removes ALL traces of lubricant and solvent from wherever it's sprayed on, so it's important to relube thoroughly. The lube that I have used since I started shooting years ago is a 50/50 mix of Mobil 1 15W-50 synthetic motor oil and any synthetic automatic transmission fluid that contains Dexron III.
This cleaning/lubing regimen has served me well through the years, and I see no reason to change it.

Yup, the G34 is chambered in 9mm; the G35 is its 40S&W counterpart.
From what I've seen and read, the G34 seems to be popular in IDPA competition circles.
The aftermarket Lone Wolf Distributors 6" barrel that I bought for the G34 turned out to be a complete piece of junk. Whereas the factory 5.32" G34 barrel could hold a sub-3" group at 25 yards with my handloads, the LWD barrel "shotgunning" all over the freaking place. Only when I moved the target back to 15 yards did I see some shots registering. I'm now sitting on a completely useless LWD barrel as the company refuses to take it back for a refund, as they claim the barrel has already been shot.
