Ever since I bought my KJW M700, I was on the hunt for a sidearm. I finally decided I wanted a Glock, but I didn't know which one. I then came across the UnCompany Custom KSC Glock 34. It had a metal slide, high flow valve, and a upgraded recoil spring. I liked the look of the gun, especially with the longer slide, so I got together my money and bought it.

Background on the Glock 34:
This is the newest of all Glocks. Glock made it to be used as a competition gun, but its balance made it a great weapon for law enforcement. Tech specs can be found here.

Initial impressions:
I recieved the package, JUST before I left for an airsoft game. I quickly grabbed my pocket knife and cut open the package. The gun was in a plain box. The lid was just brown cardboard with nothing on it. I opened it up, and marveled at its appearance. I picked it up an noticed the weight. Right then I knew I was going to love this gun.

What was in the box:
-Glock 34
-Manual
-Hop-Up adjuster
-Quick loading tool
-Little baggie of BBs

Visuals:
The gun has all the trades. It has the Glock logo on the base of the mag and on the back. It has the patent number on the the grips and well as the Glock logo. On the slide, it had ALL trades that belong on the gun. Serial numbers, caliber, the Glock logo on both sides; everything. Very nice. The trades are casted with the slide, so the trades are deep and look very nice.

First Game:
I was so happy that I was able to use my Glock in a game the same day I got it. Before we started the games, I loaded up the mag and shot off its first shots. Becuase of the cold (not only was it cold, it was raining), the blow back wasn't really strong, and the slide was moving sluggishly. Jules had his Glock 32 with him, and I watched him fire a few shots off. His was definatly working better. I warmed up the mags a bit, and it was shooting a little better. The Glock was going to be my primary, so I didn't have to worry too much about the mag getting too cold. Another thing I noticed was that right out of the box the hop-up seemed to be adjusted almost perfectly, more on that later.

Later That Day:
After the games I went with Jules to his house. We cleaned out guns and lubed them up, and then did some shooting. Now that the mag was no longer cold, and we were hand warming them to room temp, my Glock was shooting a lot better. The blow back was crisp and smooth, and I was loving it. The gun is also feels balanced in your hand. Even when aiming with one hand, you can keep the gun steady and level quite easily.

Back Home:
Now that I was home, I was able to do some more examining of the gun. The rear sights are adjustable and the hop-up is adjusted by pulling the slid back and using the hop-up adjuster that came with the gun to adjust it (One of my pictures show the slide back and the place to adjust the hop-up; Two slits on opposite sides of the barrel). I went and did some shooting. From 20ft I got a 4 1/2 inch spread. I didn't hit exactly what I was aiming for becuase the hop-up needed to be reduced (Out of lazyness I still havn't done it, but of course it is freezing outside). When adjusting the hop-up, turning it to the right reduces the hop-up, and turning it to the left increases. The follower on the mag also locks at the bottom to make loading the mag easier.

Performance:
The gun definatly has range for a handgun. This is in part because of the high-flow valve. Also becuase of the high-flow valve, you will only be able to get one mag (22rnds) out of the gas in the mag. It doesn't bother me personally.

Overall: 9/10

Pros:
-Smooth and crisp blow back
-Good range
-Weighty
-Balanced

Cons:
-Long (a con for some people)
-Doesn't do as well as other GBBs in cold weather
-Trigger safety is a little hard to engage.
