Last week, a friend of mine brought one of the newest slide cutout Glock 18s to our local range. This pistol not only had the cutout on the slide like Glocks 34, but it also had kind of like a cutout, as if the engineers were trying to take more weight off of the slide, over the firing pin channel. The thing is, being LIGHTER than the older Glocks 18 models and all, this pistol performed actually A LOT better. Is was really easy to stay on target. The question is, shouldnt it be the other way around? Haha I was like WTF.
HTR. ETA, it did have a ported barrel,so that may have been one of the reasons it performed better, I just dont understand why TAKE weight off the slide vs adding weight to help keep it down. |

Quoted:
Not really. The slide moving back and forth with less mass creates less movement than more mass. Kinda like a Thompson machine gun, huge heavy bolt and the gun is known to be really hard to keep on target. Cool explanation, thanks a lot, that was my educated guess too. I could only guess though. Now its confirmed. It was a gen 3 Glock18. That thing freaking ROCKS. HTR. |
