does anyone know if the slide weights are close to the same between the G34 and G17?
I am considering a build using as light a recoil spring as I can. I'm thinking the geometry of the G34 vs the G17 makes it more likely to function well as the barrel may tilt to a slightly shallower angle compared to the G17. This point might be irrelevant, and testing may be the only way to find out.
My purpose it having an easier to cock glock. But I don't want to sacrifice reliability. I run lighter recoil springs in my Beretta 96 Vertec, 92A1, and Ruger P85 with much success. I had a G17 with Wolff 10 lbs. spring and it functioned pretty well but not perfect, and I sold it prematurely, should have kept working with it. Now have the urge for another Glock.
Arthritis has weakened my hands, this is my reason. I may also work with an XD9 5" that is on it's way to me soon.
