I recently held a G17 and G34 in one sitting. I liked both, but really liked that the 34 felt no heavier or bulkier than the 17, and pointed extremely well.
And the 34 had a countoured slide in front (easier to 'feed' into a holster, heh.) That I'd want to put on a 17.
And the 34 had a better slide release that I'd want to put on a 17.
And the 34 is still a twinge smaller than a 1911.
But I'd like the trigger to be firmer for everywhere-carry (8lbs would be nice even, though I'd take the 17's 5.5lbs.)
Since I intend to mount an M6 light anyway, what would the 17 offer me that the 34 wouldn't?
Is the reliability of the 34 in any way of a concern over the 17 in a life-threatening CCW situation? I know that no Glock exactly sucks, but does the 34 really have the same "beat the living *snot* out of it, or just care for it and carry it for years and years, and it will NOT let you down" reliability of the 17?
How the heck did I go from this to considering a 19 or 17 a week ago?
Is there really any solution but to buy every gun that Glock makes?
