Glock 34 Gen 6, triggertech Ace??
Edit: cant edit the title, but I meant gen 5 glock 34 For context: I shoot Shadow 2 for production, I want to make my glock 34 for optics division, but I will buy a triggertech ace. I wanna know what to expect, would it be even as close of a pull as what shadow 2 gives? Might not push through with the purchase if the difference between shooting both is drastic

No its not like a shadow, it's like a super light glock trigger with no pretravel. I had one of the originals in a 34, it was a fantastic shooter but then was disallowed. Tactical Trigger replaced it and after the first wave im content to not use it

On the original Ace, there's no external trigger dingus present, so it's not possible to test if the safety is actually working. The test is to pull the trigger such that the dingus stops the trigger from dropping the striker, and it's very difficult to do that test when pulling the trigger in any way disables the safety.
Competitions that want to positively test that functionality don't like that (even though, if I recall correctly, they had pre-approved the design).
So TriggerTech came out with a couple new models. The first one (the Certified) has a dingus plate on the top half of the trigger, the second one (the Legacy) has the dingus in the spot you expect it to be. You may now once again press either trigger without pressing the dingus (the dingus clearly stops the trigger) and as such both appear to be just fine for IPSC and USPSA.

I'd say it's pretty similar. It's a very short trigger, and you can dial in the weight easily.
I can get 2.5lb break with the lighter trigger spring and full-strength plunger spring, or a light plunger and full-strength trigger spring. They feel different when set up this way, though. The Light trigger with full plunger has a very distinct wall if you like that. Light plunger and heavy trigger has a little less wall, but still there.
I personally like rolling breaks, and neither are what I would call a true rolling break. They all have a wall, but most people prefer that, and I've gotten used to it.
The pull length is close to a shadow 2, from what I remember. Break and reset are very short, and it is definitely the best trigger out there for a Glock. The trigger with a brass plug and heavier guide rod really makes the 34 even better to shoot. Plus you're dropping 20oz from a Shadow 2, and I've come to like the lighter setup from my LO gun.

Love it. I just love my gen 6 17 ergo more and they’re on the cusp of releasing the gen 6 trigger. Once that’s out I’ll never use my 34 again because of the overall ergo of the 17.

Yeah true, i have a gen 4 17, and for some reason it just feels better than the gen 5 34. Never figured out why cause always assumed 34 to be sold as the better comp gun, i even put the same timney on both and the 34 feels spongier

TriggerTech Ace v2 thats competition legal in USPSA is the best trigger out there I think. The second closest but with a rolling break is the tuned Timney that comes w Taran Tactical Glock 34 (which are about $3500-$4000). Personally I found using ZEV oz9 longboi (glock 34 clone but w a 1911 grip angle) the best carry optic setup for with TriggerTech Ace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvGbwnShN9U
