I bought a Glock 34 upper off the forums last fall but never got to shoot it until today... Kind of sad huh?
Regardless, I noticed that it was much harder to keep the Glock 34 on target for quick double taps and I really had to clamp down on the grip and even then I had jump... I found myself constangly needing to drop my sights down to find the target...
When I switched back to the G-17 upper I was pleased to see my exra effort to keep the G-34 upper on target pretty much got me to hold the G-17 upper on the target and I got some really quick doubles and tripples off with the Glock 17.
Is this a comon issue with the Glock 34 and other long slides?
I assume it is because of the extra weight of the slide and longer barrel but I am going to have to teach myself to shoot the Glock 34. I guess the nice side of this will be that if I master the Glock 34 I should be really good with the Glock 17 when done.
Somehow I didn't expect this and I was curious if my experience is what others found when they started with the longslides or is this a sign I have been limp wristing the G-17 and finally got caught?
