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.
If something works for Ben who shoots a fuck load, it'll probably work for you. I think that's a reasonable endorsement.
That's because people think that if they use a certain piece of gear that the "pros" use, it will automatically make them better, or they think that is what they HAVE to use to get good.
Gear is fun
@@JB22636 being good is fun. Being "good" because the gear is doing the work is not fun.
@@the1andonlySherlock look man I'm in the shooter camp. I spend 5k+ on ammo a year. All 9mm that goes through basically one platform.
I hardly ever buy a new gun, years can go by without buying one.
I still like guns, if we are honest with ourselves we all do.
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.
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
Try the CZ P10 competition
Vogel and Taran are like, "Whatever, bro."
Cool castle bro 👍
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.
Glock 34 is the SECOND best glock. The most gigachad glock of course is still the 17L.
G40 is most gigachad of them all
*G18
And all Glocks are way behind Walthers, CZs and Hks
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.
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.
All you need to know about Ben: "I don't tend to think about things that hard. I just do them."
good stuff thanks; figured it was the practicality of you having them but now we know.
Love my 34 rock n roll sir!
Every time you mention the Walmart SRO I get a little closer to getting one...
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.
Gotta go get me a 34!
Ive EDC'D a gen 5 34 for a year now, after 8 years of a gen 4 17. Love full size pistols
I agree, full frame Glocks are incredibly reliable. I still think that they are the best pistol for most applications.
I own a few Glocks. New & used. My 2020 era Blue Label gen 5 26 9x19mm is my main 🪓 . I often tote my used Glock 22 gen 4 .40 with either a Glock Store .357 stainless steel barrel or Lone Wolf 🐺 9x19mm converted barrel.
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.
That's due to your hand size and/or shape. The worlds best Glock shooters all tend to gravitate towards the 34/35, and the 17s. Rarely does anyone, if ever, choose a G19 for competition. And I'm inclined to personally agree with you btw. I shoot my G19 better, but we're kinda the odd one's out.
@@UrbanDefenseSystems I think that has more to do with 1. Monkey see, monkey do 2. The G34 pushes hand loads faster so you can have lower powered gamer rounds 3. It was logical before optics and has carried over ala Ben in this video. 4. The full size grip has the advantage of never pinching your hand 5. The full size grip feels noticeably more comfortable in my hand, but the 19 seems to offer a benefit when actually shooting.
I’d have to try the 45, 47, and 49 for a completely autistic comparison. I was most surprised the G34 was less shaky than a G17. Same triggers in all guns btw.
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
It also cycles faster. All is true but not necessarily enough to make anyone significantly better with a red dot.
@@swiftaudi it’s one of those things that’s technically true but won’t ever show up on a timer. We aren’t robots, the difference between multiple runs will always be orders of magnitude greater than the difference in draw time and cycle rate with a shorter slide.
@@EuropaChronicles I agree. I will say I can notice with a time a difference in draw time going from my carry piece which is the size of a G19 to my competition gun that’s closer to a G17 with an x300 both carried from concealed appendix. The shorter over all lengths makes a difference. I agree it’s not enough to make me change my setup though. Id rather carry what I shoot well with rather than carry something small because i draw faster.
In USPSA the difference is even less because there aren’t a whole lot of static draws.
Most of the Glock shooters at the Carry Optics Nationals are using a 17 or 47 and doing well.
It also makes sense if they plan on joining world shoots. The Glock 34 is not in IPSC's list of allowed pistols for use in Production Optics. The shooters would have to go down to the 47 or the 17 to compete in the equivalent division internationally.
@@IvanRiveraStagea Really? That's a weird rule. Has IPSC given reason why the G34 isn't allowed?
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.
Got 2 Glock 34'S love how they shoot running red dots on each
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??
Looks like a LEGO Hogwarts
@@Katana_GryphonI dunno, I’m thinking my little pony… where else would the inspiration come from for the angry unicorn??? 😂😂
I wonder if the 17 will be discontinued in favor of the 47?
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.
Cops are clueless
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 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.
Both are reliable and durable guns, everyone knows that.
I would like Ben to give his review of which of the two pistols he finds more durable and reliable.
Yeah I love the G34 for irons only, but with a dot I prefer the G45 mos.
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.
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
Run your old Beretta's for about 6 months & give is an update.
Aloha from Hawaii's 2A community 🤙🏾
Lol what little is left in that leftist state
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.
I see what you’re doing, Ben, good ole reverse psychology. Well, it worked. I’m buying a Gen 5 G34. 😂😂😂
No front sight
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.
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 says go buy 34 everyone. 😅
What brand is that Walmart RSO? Is that gaming terrain, in the background? (WFB)? Thanks for the share!!
CHPWS red dot
I own a G45 and 49, two guns, four options 😎
If you have both of these, you won't need a G47.
You'll get that setup by swapping the slides.
Only rubes think this
I like the 49 concept. I was issued a gen lll model 19 2022-2023 for a federal security post. I honestly was not crazy over the 19 size. Compared to my gen 4 model 22 or my gen 5 26 9mm. 49s seem like well suited for open carry, low threat or ccw uses.
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
Maybe get the exumed 17L and compare them...but it won't fit the box. Still interesting.
Where do you buy your hair?
What kind of hat is that? I like it.
Walmart SRO is even cheaper now - 20% off for the 4th! ;-)
Where?! Thanks

@@JA-oo9qp c&h - I posted the link, but UA-cam deleted it
Are you ever going to compete again?
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?
Gen5 34 does jot have the open top slide relief. It is internal to the slide instead.
Wouldn’t a 34 recoil smoother since it’s a lighter recoil spring?
Man I really loved my 45 but guess I’ll sell it after this video…
Someone clue me in on the walmart sro...
its so stupid that IPSC hasnt made the glock 34 production legal. :(
I bought a new Gen5 34 last week. I’m like the dumb guy in the Dunning-Kruger meme: Glock 34 shoot good.
I like the recoil impulse better than a 17, less than a 19. Less seesawing in my hands. It’s a great pistol.
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.
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.
I'd pack a 47 9mm or maybe a 49 model with a Sure Fire weapon light. I have a level lll SL/ALS Glock 17-22 rig I rarely carry. G armed security. 🚓
If you get in and out of cars, you don't want that extra length.
I don't really understand why a short slide or short recoil spring is preferable. Why do people want the 45 over a 17?
Faster cycling and a snappy recoils vs a soft recoil
My useless opinion: I thought the G47 was a dumb bureaucratic pistol, created to make parts supply easier and give “moar modularity” but after shooting a 19, 17, and 34 back to back I no longer say that. The 19 was the easiest to control at speed, but the surprise was the 34 was better than a 17, less seesawing. So maybe the 19 recoil spring with the extended slide in the 47 makes the 19 shoot even better the way adding an extra half inch on a 17 somehow made it more stable.
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
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.
🇺🇸
I love the 34
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
What about the new 17L? Marginally worse than a 34?
What is a Walmart sro
How often are you changing your recoil spring?
Never
I want a Glock 26X, that is, 26 slide on 17 grip.
How about Glock 17L gen5?
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?
I like the 34 for home defense because it nets you close to 100 more fps than a 19 barrel
That doesn’t really matter with good ammo
1. Why would that matter?
2. Most ammo is tested with a 4” barrel (G19)
3. Pushing ammo too fast can cause it to perform worse
@@JA-oo9qp 1. Because every bit counts for self defense. Velocity = better performance and accuracy 2. Sure, thats true 3. Not in this case, a 5.3 inch barrel (glock 34) will not cause the bullet to have diminishing returns (yet). The extra velocity will absolutely help
@@goobasippay938 I would just use a rifle if we're using that logic
@@ninjamero7135 i would too, but i live in an apartment with paper thin walls lmao
Remoil 34 users assemble!!
So get a 17L got it !!
Try the 47. Different feel than a 17
Can you explain a bit? Interested in the 17, 47 or 34
@@mruhum it recoils differently. Too me is feels less snappy.
Definitely not a Glock fan, but your videos are still enjoyable and informative. Thanks.
Got it…Step 1, buy another G34
Hey Ben is that a Hogwarts statue in the back corner?
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
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.
He talked about the XC, P, and G34 in the last video and didn’t seem to care about the comp on the XC.
Don’t know about “a lot faster”.
@@HWG-wm8ld 50-75 fps. I’m sure a gen3 Glock 17L with polygonal rifling could push some light rounds fast enough to defeat soft armor. The real win is probably for gamers who reload getting their loads as light as possible while still making PF.
You have too many 34’s. Probably should send one my way for research purposes😅
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.
The G19 recoil spring shoots better for me and the G34 shoots better for me than a G17. Never shot a G47 but this is why I could see people liking it.
But the 19x tho !!!!!1!!!!
Walmart SRO? What model/brand red dot?
I believe its a C and H Presision.
What happened to Tanfoglio? Glock 34 is better?
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.
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?
Any plans to try the gen 5 17L?
What is the castle in the background?
Pretty sure its Hogwarts lol
What’s the “Walmart SRO?”
C&H precision comp dot
Will you ever sell off a gun and autograph it and include some bath water? 💦
Do you want to sell those 34?
Walmart SRO?
Have tried the NOVESKE glocks?
Seeing as how Ben, despite his deep and sensual relationship with Joel park, is still heterosexual it’s incredibly unlikely that he owns any noveske products.

I think the Glock 34 is the bees-knees.
If u stay with irons then 34 all day
