→which is better XD9 in tactical 5" or the Glock 34??

2007-12-04 23:00:48

I can only get 1 handgun and it will only be for target shooting and range purposes.I have shot both guns but I cannot make up my mind. I like the XD better but the glock 34 has longer sight radius and it uses a polygonal barrel. I need your opinions. the cost difference is less than 100 bucks. I dont want to make the wrong decision. which one do you guys like? thanks in advanced

I would go with the XD, they fit my hand better and have better safeties than GLOCK. They also have a loaded chamber indicator which can come in handy. I have used the 4in. 9mm ported model and the 5in. .45, and they are excellent guns. Anybody that says GLOCKs are better has never extensively used the XDs.

→Is it a good i dea to get a Glock 34 for The simple Home Defense Pistol?

I dont know much about guns, I would like some Help Choosing one. I heard GLOCK pistols are the best in the Pistol Business. any toughts or suggestions?

Answered By: david m

No, because the 34 is more of a competition/target/"tactical" model. If you want to get a Glock 9mm for self-defense, get a 17 or a 19. Save your money. Don't let people tell you that you are "too new" or "inexperienced" to handle a Glock. Sometimes the "experienced" people get over-confident with their knowledge about firearms. If you get a Glock, just make sure to read the manual completely and do not take its simplicity for granted.

→why does the glock 34 have that cut away part just behind the front sight?

Answered By: gretsch16pc

Yes both the 34 9mm & 35 .40 have a cut-away on the top of the slide to reduce weight, because it uses a longer barrel (5.32") & slide. The barrel is not ported on these 2 models, only the ones designated with the letter C, example G17C 9mm w/compensated (ported barrel & slide). I own 2-G35s (1 is an LE model) and 1-G23, next on the list ...X-Mas list that is a G27. All of which fire the same .40S&W round.

→What is the best CCW Weapon? Kahr PM9 or Glock 19, 26, or 34?

2007-03-11 17:00:51

From what I have read, people state they like Glocks better because they are Glocks, which isn't really a valid reason. I have heard that KAHRs are pricey, but the difference doesn't seem to be an issue--for me. I realize the Glocks may have more magazine capacity; yet, the KAHRs are lighter and thinner. With this said, what is the best CCW Weapon, KAHR PM9 or Glock 19, 26 or 34? One would know that I am in the market for a 9 mm, but I would appreciate reasons for another caliber. Again, price is not an issue; CCW is.... I will appreciate any experienced advice and will ignore the Anti-NRA people and/or kids.

I have a kahr CW9, priced about the same as a glock, the kahr is shorter, slimmer and much easier to conceal and has a much smoother (although slightly heavier) trigger pull. However it has more recoil and barrel climb, which goes for anything that’s smaller and lighter. The kahrs handle is a little narrow and the trigger guard could be longer for my long fingers. Accuracy is on par with the glock, I can average a 3" group @ 9yrds and its dead on with a point and shoot draw w/out using sights. As for the PM9 I have heard both good and bad, apparently its had more problems than other kahr models, I personally would be worried about making quick follow up shots with the pm/km (also why I opted for the 9mm over the .40), the larger cw9 (same size as p9) is pretty snappy for 9mm, really likes to climb. I'm used to a sig pro in .40 and .357 sig and a p220 .45acp and find both easier to control for rapid shots, but for concealed carry the kahr is extremely comfortable and after a little practice completely controllable. As for mag cap. If this is a concealed carry gun and you end up using it, you shouldn’t need more than a couple of rounds to get the job done. for me the 9mm (+P+ JHP for carry) is a good round, I don’t believe that a larger caliber is a substitute for good shot placement and +P+ 9mm are pretty close to .40 s&w for stopping power and the Kahr is +P+ rated, I still haven’t seen a glock that was +P rated and .40s&w in glocks have had some issues (that would be the nice way of saying .40 glocks like to explode). If you’re looking for a gun to take to the range and put a few hundred rounds through on a regular basis and carry, the glock may be the better fit for you. If you’re looking for something very concealable but also accurate the kahr is the better weapon, IE the glock is a better all around gun, the kahr is designed for one purpose (concealed carry) and in that purpose far surpasses the glock. A good concealed carry gun for you is whatever you are more comfortable with, more accurate with, and trained the most with. went through a couple of local kahr dealers today, one has stopped carrying the pm40 because of customers complaints on controlablity, and the other doesnt carry any of the M line becasue of reliablity problems, the standerd size kahrs (p9,p40,k9,k40,cw9,cw40,p45) are still flawless. and if you end up with a kahr be aware of the 200 round break in period, mine was flawless unless I rode the slide (held the slide a little to long while racking). break in periods are common on highend pistols built to tight tolerences, my sigs were more like 500 rounds. glocks are built loose (not a bad thing in a 9mm) so no breakin period although it can compromise accuracy but not enough for the average shooter to notice.
