Glock 34

I carry the G41 MOS. If that makes a difference.

Just my couple of pennies, but if you need a glock 34 for duty use, you might be in the wrong line of work. If you need that much more accuracy, you should be holding a rifle and not a pistol. Long slide pistols are great for square range target shooting. That's where they should stay.

CDCR issues Glock 35s to their Crises Response Teams(swat).

Using a long slide like the 17L makes me a fine coyote/bobcat handgun-hunter.

If the slight improvement in accuracy is worth it for the square range or shooting a bobcat/coyote, why would it not be for duty use? How many OIS's involve rifles vs handguns? How often do you find yourself in a scenario where you're away from your rifle and getting back to it is impracticle? This could be argued all day, but when it comes down to it, I'll take any advantage however slight. If I could carry a 34 I would. It's no different than a government size 1911.

I see your point, and its a good one. I just don't think you get that much more out of it. And to your point on stats, most gun fights take place at a close distance. If you have accuracy problems with an already full size gun, one should train more.

Part of the reason I also decided to carry a G35/G34 is that I carry my duty weapon with a mounted Surefire or Streamlight light. The length of the light when mounted is the same length as the barrel/slide of a G35/G34. So, you are already having to pull your gun out enough to clear the extra length of the mounted light. May as well have the extra barrel length and site radius. Also, the longer barrel doesn't cause the light lens to get dark from soot when shooting, which does happen on a G22/G17. With practice, you can get proficient enough to draw a G35 pretty much as fast as a G22.

I also carried a G34 for about 4 years...great weapon.
