Reliability and simplicity of use have made GLOCK® pistols a favored sidearm for law enforcement all over the world. The GLOCK G34® Semi-Auto Pistol is meant for competition shooting, though it also serves well for a tactical handgun. The G34 has a long slide that reduces muzzle flip considerably to keep the user on target during rapid fire. This semi-automatic pistol utilizes a dual recoil spring assembly that substantially increases spring life. A modular back strap allows shooters to instantly customize the grip to an individual shooter's hand size, or to cold weather gloves. The polymer frame has a "rough" texture that provides a sure hold on the pistol in adverse conditions, and the enlarged magazine catch is reversible, accommodating left- or right-handed shooters. An integral accessory rail in front of the trigger guard allows for the attachment of a plethora of aftermarket tactical flashlights or laser sights. The GLOCK G34 Semi-Auto Pistol is an ultra-reliable, accurate and extremely controllable handgun, making it an ideal choice for USPSA and IDPA practical shooting competitions, as well as self-defense.
