[Haftard]

Just like the title says ... What compares to the glock 34 as a factory gun ?

S&W, Springfield, Walther all make full frame extended slide 9mm semi-auto's. CZ likely does as well, but I haven't seen one so I can't picture it.

It will boil down to personal preference depending on the parameters set by the buyer.

Walter PPQ 5" and S&W MP 5" for starters...

Walther PPX was also similar, light weight polymer frame, striker fired, large magazines. It was a bit shorter & didn't have the open slide styling. Ugly to my eye but very comfortable grip and great trigger. Maybe it wasn't like the G34 after all.

I have both a G34 and a 5" M&P. They both shoot well. One can find some "longslide" 1911's in 9mm as well.

I think im gonna look for a walther ppq 5in

 

[dcfranzen]

Walther PPQ Q5 Match or S&W M&P 2.0 5" are both good options to consider. How they feel in the hand is important. Then there is the M&P 9L Pro Series C.O.R.E. from the S&W Performance Center which I think still qualifies.

Another option are the 5 inch FNS and FNX pistols.

There are some P320 variants that would also fit in the "practical/tactical" mold like the X5 or VTAC.

They're nice but heavy!

 

[dcfranzen]

The Walther choices weigh only 4 ounces more than the G34 and the PPQs, like the G34, are fine shooters. How it feels in the hand is important.

I don't think you could go wrong there.

 

[dcfranzen]

The Q5 Match is only 27.9 ounces with an empty mag or 4oz more than the G34. The Walther Q5 Match sf (steel frame) weighs 42 oz.

The Walthers also have excellent triggers for the type...

They don't the aftermarket/accessories of Glock/S&W, but if I were to buy something along these lines, the PPQ or Q5 would definitely be strong contenders.

Canik tp9 long or tp9sfx



Trigger and reset is better then the glock too. Can find these for $350-400. I like mine. Damn good gun. I think i paid around $340 brand new.

The sfx is the same gun but comes with an optic cut, 20rd mags, and extended mag release. Its around $400-450. Can find them with a Vortex viper for $550-600 sometimes

Another option are the 5 inch FNS and FNX pistols.

Iv seen these forsale for around $400 for quite sometime, but everything I read says the trigger is really long. Have you shot one?

 

[tac]

Me, I like the HK USP.

But that is only from memory...

O love the 34 and I enjoy my Canik TP9SFX (21 round mags-Sweet)
