I love the long slide and barrel, but why is the top cut out? Weight? It can't be for compensating.
Weight. It is very balanced. The extra sight radius helps with accuracy as well. It's a great gun.

Great gun! My wife has one. She is very accurate with it.
Cool pics.
They really are good shooters, although I have had female shooters limp wrist mine while shooting 115 gr.

That's to use in the new "Terminator" movie for mounting a laser sight on top.

I'll have to try that: duct tape, zip ties, and an Aimpoint PRO. Do you think it will work like it does in the movies?That's to use in the new "Terminator" movie for mounting a laser sight on top.

Maybe not with duct tape and zip ties.
Now I'm tryin' to imagine Ahnold sayin' "the 9 millimeter longslide, with laser sighting".
It doubles as a cheese slicer.

Unless the cutouts are on a ported barrel, my limited knowledge just tells me that cutouts are to lighten a pistol up. I really don't know. I do know I wouldn't want anything thing cutout on a pistol I carry for self defense. My luck, somehow a large marble would find itself wedged in there

Someone told me in conversation once that the cut out causes a smokey site picture.
I'm not sure if that makes sense. You guys that have shot them, what's the deal?

The 34 also has the cut out. My understanding is it helps the slide move faster. Lighter slide, faster moving, faster to flow up shots. At least that's the theory.
No smokey sight picture and no falling marbles, but it's still early in the day

He must have been talking about a compensated model. Now that does allow blast to exit from the ports in the top of the barrel and through the slide. But that is not really a very noticeable issue.

Just to lighten the slide. It allows glock to use the same recoil guide/spring for the 17,34,17L. I'm not sure I would use the 17l as a carry gun based on size alone. I was tempted to use mine for 3 gun but it felt like I had to pull up to my ear to unholster it. It is a great shooter though.
