About the Glock 34
The Glock 34 is a competition-oriented 9mm pistol featuring a longer slide and barrel than the standard Glock 17, along with a slightly extended sight radius intended to aid precision shooting in practical and action shooting sports. It retains the standard 17-size frame.
Later generations of the 34 have incorporated Glock's Marksman Barrel (MB) designation and updated internals aimed at improving accuracy for competitive use, along with MOS optic-ready variants.
Because the 34 is often used in competition, buyers evaluating one may consider round count and mechanical wear more heavily than on a lightly used duty or carry pistol.

Valuation
What affects Glock 34 value
We do not publish a price chart. These are the characteristics that determine what a specific example evaluates at.
Factor 1
Generation
Gen3 through Gen5 versions differ in frame and slide features, and identifying the generation is part of evaluation.
Factor 2
Round count and competition use
Because the 34 is frequently used in competitive shooting, accumulated round count and resulting wear are practical considerations.
Factor 3
MOS optic-ready slides
Optic-cut slides are assessed as a distinct configuration from standard slides, particularly relevant for competition use.
Factor 4
Factory versus aftermarket parts
Original barrel and internal components as opposed to aftermarket competition parts affect how original the pistol is relative to factory configuration.
Factor 5
Barrel and slide condition
The longer slide and barrel are inspected for wear consistent with extended use.
Factor 6
Included magazines and case
Factory magazines, box, and manual contribute to overall completeness.
