Ben Stoeger told me to buy a glock 34. Got it.

People pay way too much attention to your gear rather than your talent and work ethic.

Ben doesn't want us to buy the 34s because he wants to buy them all up and not tell us. Time to go grab a 34!!!

I would've thought you would also have an old 17L hiding out in the safe, too.

Vogel and Taran are like, "Whatever, bro."

Im going out and buying a 34 tomorrow since Ben was so passionate about them. I was totally sold after such a compelling endorsement of the product

Cool castle bro 👍

Glock 34 is the SECOND best glock. The most gigachad glock of course is still the 17L.

Hey Ben, I know that's off topic but I'd love to hear your thoughts on 3 foreigners sweeping the CO Nats podium! Lots of talk about IPSC vs USPSA, different training styles, more professionalism over there etc...

The 34 with a Surefire X300 frame weight is just such an aesthetic vibe.... Honestly though, there are very few people who are on the same level of shooting as Ben, I don't think mere mortals would really notice a difference in accuracy or shootability with longer slides if they're running a dot. Just run what you brung and what makes you happy.

I have 47, and 19 gen5, had 17 gen4 previously and even BUL Axe cleaver. I dont have much experience, I shoot over 3 years, but must say 47 has the „niecest” recoil impulse from modern glocks. Tested plenty of 45’s and 19x and 47’s heavier slide gives a bit of a difference to a 19 recoil spring. 5000 shots so far, just changed connector to glocks „-„ I really like it and can recommend to a beginner as a nice gun to shot. Regards Ben, all the best from Poland.

good stuff thanks; figured it was the practicality of you having them but now we know.

The 34 and 17L are always gonna be just a little bit cooler than a 17, 19, 45, 47, or 49, but their time as the most practically accurate Glocks has pretty much passed.

Love my 34 rock n roll sir!

All you need to know about Ben: "I don't tend to think about things that hard. I just do them."

Gotta go get me a 34!

Love my Gen 5 G34. Run it in IDPA/USPSA. Gonna buy another one. Even now, it doesn’t really take a backseat to anything. Like it so much that if I were Ben’s size, I’d find the right IWB and carry it concealed, too.

Dang Ben you’ve found it again my dude! Your content is driving conversation which is driving views! Well done my man! Business man doing business thing. God bless America! Man I love this country!!🇺🇸 Side note… is that a my little pony castle in the background??

Every time you mention the Walmart SRO I get a little closer to getting one...

Ive EDC'D a gen 5 34 for a year now, after 8 years of a gen 4 17. Love full size pistols

I have that Harry Potter castle puzzle as well, I keep it in the office.

I think since we are on this topic and you just reviewed the comped XC it be great for you to try the g45 with radian ramjet

I agree, full frame Glocks are incredibly reliable. I still think that they are the best pistol for most applications.

Someone clue me in on the walmart sro...

First Glock I bought was a gen3 34 and ran it for training, occasional competition, and carry during my first 7 years shooting, after acquiring a few more and due to the male measurement arms race, I ended up carrying it with an SRO and TLR1. Great guns, would I do that again today? No, would probably go with a g45, but it was a good time.

I always wanted a Glock 34 with a x300, might have to get one now, I’m curious what’s your edc ? Never seen you talk about what you carry everyday

Ben, you used to use Berettas and then ditched them. Any particular reason why? When you were using Berettas they weren't as souped up as they are today. The Elite LTT with the RDO slide, and the NP3 trigger job in a bag kit is something I'd like to see Ben try. Would be willing to ship one of my LTTs to see what you think of the modernized Berettas.

I think a lot of people would also like to hear your review of the Beretta 92 and CZ75 derivatives in terms of durability and reliability.

Most of the Glock shooters at the Carry Optics Nationals are using a 17 or 47 and doing well.

You should pick a G45 over a G34 because the shorter slide makes the draw faster. At least that’s what I was recently told by a clown in Paul Howe’s comments section. Those theoretical thousandths of a second really add up! Lol

Yeah I love the G34 for irons only, but with a dot I prefer the G45 mos.

I wonder if the 17 will be discontinued in favor of the 47?

What brand is that Walmart RSO? Is that gaming terrain, in the background? (WFB)? Thanks for the share!!

What kind of hat is that? I like it.

Aloha from Hawaii's 2A community 🤙🏾

People told me I was crazy. Shooting the 19, 17, and 34 back to back really highlights how much better the 19 was in consistently returning on target. Never shot a 45 or 47, but I also feel like the 19 grip locked in better and I didn’t need to grip as hard. I honestly feel like the 19 is the most competitive Glock when using red dots and G17 mags.

Please discuss the NEW Austin Tx PD incident with SIG 320s. June 2024. A cop had a serious leg wound. I would not 🚫 buy or carry any 320s M17s M18s. Zip.

can you talk about flashlights on competition pistols, not in reference to home defense or anything like that friend of mine and myself are having to discussion and notice that you’ll never see competition shooters with flashlights on pistol

Whats the name of that walmart SRO? If there is a big window pistol dot out there thats cheaper than an SRO or 507 comp thats actually good I need to know. Cheers.

Run your old Beretta's for about 6 months & give is an update.

I’ve been on a 47 for almost 2 years now and I tell all my Glock buddies to really give it a chance but they keep buying 17s. The 47 has a great recoil impulse, faster cycling time but not the snap of a 19

🇺🇸

Maybe get the exumed 17L and compare them...but it won't fit the box. Still interesting.

Are you ever going to compete again?

I must confess, my G34 makes me go ga-ga. Whenever I bring it out I end up spending the entire day with it at the expense of my carry gun practice. Mine wears after market fiber optic sights and a Vogel Comp. trigger, "which I adore". I know I'm gushing and sound like a light weight but I can't help it. I love my G34.

Thoughts on the Shadow system lineup?

I know you have no desire to compete again soon, but if you were to do a big match say Carry Optic Nationals, what gun do you think you would run now? Shadow 2? Just curious

Wouldn’t a 34 recoil smoother since it’s a lighter recoil spring?

No front sight

Hey Ben , what red dot optic would you recommend for the 34 and 45 . I have a holosun 509T enclosed and a Holsoun 507 . Thanks

Hey Ben. What is your take on Lights on pistols? Some guys won't be caught dead without a light on every gun, but you are not one of them! I went from thinking I needed it, to when do I even use this thing? I also practice target transitions with pieces of tape all over my walls (ninja target focus) and I notice the lights make the gun much heavier and a little slower when trying to move rapidly.

Got 2 Glock 34'S love how they shoot running red dots on each

I see what you’re doing, Ben, good ole reverse psychology. Well, it worked. I’m buying a Gen 5 G34. 😂😂😂

Ben, I have a 34 and mine has a lightened slide from the factory. Did they sell stock 34s with the slide you have? Or did you take the slide from a 17L and put it on the gun?

Sounds like Ben has a bedroom specifically to mount Glock 34's on the walls and there's a story behind each and every one of them.

Walmart SRO is even cheaper now - 20% off for the 4th! ;-)

Definitely not a Glock fan, but your videos are still enjoyable and informative. Thanks.

I don't really understand why a short slide or short recoil spring is preferable. Why do people want the 45 over a 17?

What is a Walmart sro

Flatter out to distance. Less muzzle flip/less perceived recoil, way better with irons. There is no upside to using any Glock but a 34 in competition. Guys with irons were absolutely magic with them. Ever see Sevigny on his 35 way back? You might like the snappy recoil feeling but literally everything else, by any shooter at any level, will see an improvement with a 34 over the other Glocks you mentioned here.

I bought a new Gen5 34 last week. I’m like the dumb guy in the Dunning-Kruger meme: Glock 34 shoot good.

I love the 34

How about Glock 17L gen5?

Man I really loved my 45 but guess I’ll sell it after this video…

I own a G45 and 49, two guns, four options 😎

Where do you buy your hair?

How about a 17L?

My gen 3 34 is my nightstand pistol. No red dot, I just want it to be reliable and no I’m not a revolver guy. I’m talking to you Yankee Marshal. 😂. I don’t think many would use any sights iron or red dot when in a highly stressed close quarter home defense situation. It’s probably instinctive shooting for most during that short arse puckering moment.

I don’t slide lock reload that much but the slide release on 34 is better than other glock

Honestly, even in the age of optics i still prefer the 34. Favorite carry gun is basically a 19 frame with a 34 slide. Recoil impulse is pleasant and it snaps back to where i want it to be. At least for me.

How often are you changing your recoil spring?

I love my 34.

I find it odd for LE duty guns that they are typically the 17, with a light, and I think instead the most popular model should be the 34.

Ben says go buy 34 everyone. 😅

What about the new 17L? Marginally worse than a 34?

I like the 34 for home defense because it nets you close to 100 more fps than a 19 barrel

Why continue to shoot Glock at all? Wouldn’t it be easier to shoot something like the “Glock like” CZ P10 to keep a similar grip angle as the shadow 2 and 2011 you also shoot? I get that you can adjust to the grip angle but why bother?

Remoil 34 users assemble!!

I want a Glock 26X, that is, 26 slide on 17 grip.

So get a 17L got it !!

Have you ever tried a “Roland Special” type build? So a Kkm barrel and comp on a 19 or 45. If you like the 34 you may love the Roland as it’ll have slightly less recoil and be a lot faster cycling.

Try the 47. Different feel than a 17

But the 19x tho !!!!!1!!!!

Walmart SRO? What model/brand red dot?

You should buy a 47 and a 19 gen 5 then you could exchange the slides and possibly end up wit a 19, a 47, a 45 and a 49.

Why a G47 over a G17? Does the G19 RSA in the full length G47 give a better recoil impulse compared to a G17? The only reason I could see getting a G47 is to run my G19 slide on it, which is a big deal in fact (and to not have to stock two different RSA’s). But are there shootability differences between the G47 and G17? The reason I’d like to have a G17/47 length barrel, compared to a G45, is to make sure I make Minor in the USPSA 😊. Beyond wanting a few more fps, the G19 is out because I shoot the full size grip much better. Lastly, Do you guys find a difference in presentation between a milled and MOS Glock? I’ve been getting them milled and I’m wondering if running an MOS unit (w a FCD plate for example) is going to throw me off based on the higher position of the optic when placed on an MOS gun.

its so stupid that IPSC hasnt made the glock 34 production legal. :(

You have too many 34’s. Probably should send one my way for research purposes😅

Hey Ben is that a Hogwarts statue in the back corner?

What happened to Tanfoglio? Glock 34 is better?

What is the castle in the background?

For some reason the 34 is not allowed in ipsc production. If i were going glock its probably going to be a gen 5 17

In a previous video I believe you were suggesting an apex trigger, tti striker spring from their connector set... and I believe a 15 lbs recoil spring. Is my memory correct, and would your suggestion be the same for a 17 45 and 47 as well?

Got it…Step 1, buy another G34

Any plans to try the gen 5 17L?

What’s the “Walmart SRO?”

Will you ever sell off a gun and autograph it and include some bath water? 💦

I like Glocks but they are becoming Dinosaurs in a sport and defense Industry thats innovating rapidly more and more. With that said there are two Glock's I consider a "must" to have and thats the G34 and the G19. Both may be old news but they function very well for their intended purpose. The 34 is a fine target pistol for the money and the G19 is a very good combat pistol. Again, for the cash. But its true they have lost their luster as time has gone on. Frankly, Glock's have got a bit boring.

Do you want to sell those 34?

Have tried the NOVESKE glocks?
