HI5-O Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I have a Practical Advantage of his Practical Series. The serrations work well and are easy to clean out unlike some of the other "fine" serrations. He does really nice work. The only thing I don't like is the front serrations are cut all the way through the bottom edge of the slide and the rear serrrations are not (they stop just short of the edge). I wish I could post a pic so you could see it. It doesn't hamper anything, it's just that they look "different". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI5-O Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I forgot to add, the serrations on my gun are the narrower cut. Looks like he uses two different styles in his signature line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-rum Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 The gun is not Dawson built but Dave did cut the serrations in the slide for me when I ordered the slide. The serrations work fine and are easy to clean hope this helps Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I've got the wide ones on one of my my Open guns.. they work as well or better than any others I've tried, but I don't use them much, what with the slide racker. The curved shape is supposed to provide a solid grip from any pinch angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralChang Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I'm guessing but the Practical Advantage serrations, I think, don't extend to the bottom to prevent the serrated bread knife like effect on your thumb. I have both types of serrations and personally, I prefer the "small" serrations. I guess they feel grippier. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinity Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 guys maybe u can show pics of ur slide serrations. i would really appreciate it so much if u do. c-rum, i really like ur blaster.... forgive me if it's kind of pathetic but i would somehow want my gun to look good also besides shooting reliably and accurately. what do u think about the voight serrations?

kevin c Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 You want pretty or effective? Try skateboard tape on your slide - a lot more effective than any serration I've ever tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinity Posted December 7, 2004 Author Share Posted December 7, 2004 i'd want both...pretty and effective!!! who wouldn't?! shred, can u post a close up pic of the serrations if u don't mind. pls pls psl pls pls pls. thanks....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 advantages/disadvantages of various types of slide serrations?? you guys crack me up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinity Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 carmoney, it do sounds a little pathetic...but a friend of mine tried putting the smoking hole design serrations....the opposite angle and it tends to slip instead of having a firm grasp on the front serrations. he's the type of guy who doesn't like grip tapes.

Dan Burwell Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I am biased but I think mine are the perfect combination of grippy and looky. With the deep panel cut they are really hard to miss. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinity Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 danial97, doesn't it hurt when u pull the slide? it looks sharp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Burwell Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Not painful at all . I slightly dull the top and the bottom edge points, which are razors when they come out of the mill. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIIID Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Snake skin serrations give a good grip from any angle. Sometimes they can take a little skin off to. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all work & the differences are cosmetic. Now the serrations on TGO's limited gun -THOSE slide serrations are true works of art. Last serrations I did were (if I recall) simply 15 degree cuts to about 20 thou depth w/ a carbide 3/32" end mill. I put no thought into functionality.

kevin c Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Try skateboard tape on your slide - a lot more effective than any serration I've ever tried. Uhm...you mean like this? But how does the tape stay over the serrations w/o much to stick to?. I have enough trouble keeping a whole grip panel sized piece of skateboard tape to stay on the plastic checkering of my Para LDA grip (for production).
