Pic of the Day- The Tactically Practical

The Glock 34/35 series of pistols are ideal for just about any role an end user may require.  They work well out of the box, with only a few minor changes needed to make them a little better.  Shown is one of my G34’s with one of the early Apex FRE prototypes, and a most excellent set of 10-8 tritium sights.  A man (or lady) can about rule the world with that setup.  It is no wonder why this series of pistols have became favorites of police officers and competitors alike.

  1. The G34’s are so easy to shoot that it almost feels like cheating. That said, I would rather it didn’t have the hole in the top of the slide. Seems like a bad idea in a hard use pistol.

  2. The slide cut out on the to (and on the G34 there are also areas inside the slide that have material milled away to further reduce the slide’s mass) does not seem to cause any complications; accumulated detrius seems minimal to begin with, and reportedly external debris (dirt, dust, sand, etc) is carried by gravity into the dust cover area of the receiver. It doesn’t seeem to be a problem for the Beretta 51 and 92 series of pistols either, with extensive desert deployments by multiple militaries.

    Best, Jon

  3. Make that “the slide cut-out on the TOP…”

    I wish we could edit these things AFTER posting…

    Best, Jon

  4. As an end user of the Beretta 92F/M9, I’ve watched thousands of rounds go downrange through the platform, many in a sandy enviroment. I’ve never seen a malfuntion caused by the near absent slide, directly or indirectly. I’d be even less worried about how the “missing” area of the slide would affect the reliability of the Glock 34.
