The Glock 34 is a 9mm pistol. It has a 5.32" barrel (which is 0.82" longer than the Glock 17) and a longer slide, extended magazine and slide releases with a reduced trigger pull. The longer slide gives quicker recovery between each shot.

What is the locking system on the M9 pistol?

The M9 pistol uses an "oscillating Block" locking system. At the moment of firing, the slide and barrel are locked together. They are both driven rearward by recoil- but after about 3mm of travel, the barrel tips down, unlocking from the slide, which continues to the rear. For additional information, do a web search for 3-23.25, the manual on the M9 pistol.

No, only if you switch the entire slide. It can be used the other way around however. You can place a G19 barrel into a G32 pistol, and use 9mm, you would also have to use the G19 magazines.


What is a Glock gun?

Glock is an Austrian Handgun manufacturer who developed a pistol design in the 1980's in answer to the Austrian Armies request for a new service pistol. Prior to entering the pistol business, Glock made items using plastics and polymer's They designed a pistol that had a polymer frame and trigger, but still used a steel slide, barrel, springs and magazine (with a polymer sleeve The net result is a pistol that is lite and will hold a high number of rounds in a relatively slim grip. The original Glock Pistol, the Model 17 holds seventeen rounds of 9mm Parabellum in the magazine. The gun is a revolution in weaponry, being it does not have a traditional safety, but rather a safety on the trigger. The trigger safety is designed to save time, especially for law enforcement, and possibly lives. The gun will never fire if, or when, dropped. The Glock is the revolution of weaponry.

No, the Glock 22 barrel has an outside diameter that is larger than the hole in the front of the Glock 17 slide. your safest option is to buy a Glock 22 and a 9mm conversion barrel for the 22 slide. Then with the correct magazines you could use either 9mm or .40 S&W in a single frame and slide.
