  • A common question I get on the channel is "will a 17 work just as well?" We talk through both uses.

Can't go wrong with a Glock. It's simple and reliable and accurate without the $1000+ price tag. That's why I have so many of them and alot of other reliable gun's and will be buying more in the future. They are very reliable gun's thought whether you get the 34 or 17.

CDC gets 1,200 signatures that claim racism is a public health emergency. 2. Your media convinced your FDA that the antiviral drug doesn't work. 3. Your governors & media called armed protestors that were protesting in favor of all rights against lockdown racists. 4. Media & governors call people burning down your nation peaceful protests. 5. Raytheon engineer brought our nation your AMS & missile secrets. Doesn't that involve nuclear defenses in some way? 6.

      G17 is fine for competition - especially if you mount a dot. You'd be fine - you'd be more likely to buy a gun because you wanted one than because you began giving up something to a longer slide like a 34. If the FS version of the 17 was available when I placed my order - I'd have it.

    "Make better life choices." For this, I give you thumbs up. :D
    Also, I know for a fact that the Gen4 17s and 34's slides are the same weight. Therefore, with a stock recoil spring they don't cycle any faster or slower than each other. There is a tad extra mass from the longer barrel and the fact that there is more mass at the front of the pistol will mean that the muzzle movement will be less for the G34. Not by a whole lot and frankly not to a truly exploitable amount but different.

    • @TheHumbleMarksman
      @TheHumbleMarksman  Před 5 lety +4

      Bare slide weight on a 34 g5 FS with Dawson’s and a DPP- 14.9 oz. bare slide weight on a 17g4 with same sights/DPP - 14.3oz. The 34 slide milling changed with G5. Even assuming that G5 to G5 the slides are identical from the chamber backwards it’s pretty reasonable to infer that leaves the 34 still heavier. The extra ounce comes from the barrel- which is in line with glocks website where the 34 is 1.5 oz heavier. Using cutting edge bro science shooting irons me and a buddy both observed the 34 to be slower in recoil just in the sights - so much that he prefers a faster moving slide and he shelved his 34 and picked up a 17. It’s not a big difference as you state.

    I agree, they shoot really similar. I prefer the 34 because for home defense and competition the size doesn't matter. However, the longer sight radius is an advantage and it's easier to rack a longer slide than it is something shorter--there's just more to grab on to at the front

      Gen 5 is significantly better in my opinion- if you are just in a gun store and handled both the differences are subtle but when you get used to shooting a gen 5 then go back to a 4 it’s eye opening. The optic cut is OK- you absolutely cannot use too long screws though - so test fit screws on the plate off the gun before mounting. You will need to file down some.

    Any thoughts on which you would pick for Steel Challenge in Production? I really wanted a 34 but I feel like the 17 might actually be better. A little lighter and shorter might make it faster to draw and move between plates, and you really don't need longer sight radius to hit targets that close. I'm wondering if the recoil impulse of the 34 would make it easier to get the sights back on target for the next shot, but in steel challenge you're moving to the next target during that time anyway. I'm a newer shooter if that changes the answer. Awesome videos BTW. Thank you for making them!

Quite a lot controversy on the subject of which one has the least recoil or muzzle flip and which one is the better practical shooter with red dot as that negates the sight radius advantage of g17. Can't find any videos from credible sources on youtube that would compare g45 vs g17 shootability and I bet that would get lots of views if you make it.

Some people online speculate that that means the battery is running low, but if that were the case then I imagine it would flicker a bunch while I'm indoors as well, which it doesn't.
    So I'm at the point now where I think I'm just gonna commit to irons, the XS big dot sights, for both my G19 and 17. That way I have uniformity and more reliability than the Burris.

    • @TheHumbleMarksman
      @TheHumbleMarksman  Před 5 lety +4

      in limited division you can only score major with a 40 caliber or greater projectile. In Open you can get to major with a 355 projectile - so 38 Super Comp and 9 Major are prevalent - but open glocks don't have a very long service life on their slides/frames and you end up spending basically cheap open gun money to get it into play.
      Before I show my work - put succinctly - Major is advantaged in every single division it's available other than potentially Revolver and SIngle Stack - and that can be match dependent - sometimes more ammo is better. Shooting major opens up the allowable aiming area on the target to be freaking huge. if I split a target an open target on the move at .22 with my major gun and you post up and split it at .3 I'm gaining a tenth just on that target plus whatever yard or so I traveled toward the last position on you which is worth probably another .3 or so seconds. With a minor gun in limited you're getting 23+1 at the most - maybe 24+1. In major you're getting 20-21+1. Most field courses are 22-36 rounds and require enough movement you can mitigate the time of one mag change. Since I've been shooting CO - I have seen exactly two stages that my minor 140mm mags gave me a different stage plan from the limited major guys - because I can intentionally shoot to 23-24.
      With respect to shooting - not necessarily - because based on the stage the math can favor speed or accuracy. On accuracy intensive stages there is little to no difference - but even still a near miss Charlie will get you more points - and major isn't inherently more difficult to be accurate with. Where it really really comes into play is you get a bigger aiming area - you can shoot on the move at the A/C zone with less care of picking up charlies if you're hustling. You can do the math on a given stage to figure out how much time each point is worth - and the practiscore competitor app will do the math for you - and MOST uspsa stages have a bend toward speed over accuracy. If I adapt my stats on the overall in carry optics to Open Major in my last 3 matches my standings in the overall jump 4-6% - and a buddy shooting LimMinor I do the same thing for him and the result is similar. It's a common fallacy new guys have that they can be more accurate and offset the speed. The truth is you need to shoot 90%+ of points available in Limited - and with major how you get to that number is usually a good bit faster. If I can eat 2 charlies on a partial and you have to try for alphas I've usually gained some time on you without suffering points. I drop 2 points on that target and your'e dropping 4.
