rgunner1 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I am looking at a new IPSC project and was wondering if anyone has recently ( within the last year) bought and used a LW G34 Slide and if so had any issues ? And could share... I have read reports from years back and I was just wondering if there quality had improved. I currently run a LW Barrel and have had no issues with it. If this could be kept on subject it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmj3 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Thanks guys so no issues fitting all the OEM parts ? Like sights , striker assembly ... Bought a LW 24 slide & barrel, had the slide lightened and filled it with LW, OEM & DP parts - runs like a champ. No issue with any internals or sights fitting.

EkuJustice Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Nope no issues. I had a Caspian slide at one point i returned because it was junk. The area around the beech face on one split out as it was not cut right. It almost looked like it was a bushing that came out around the breech face the way it split even though it was solid. The second one Caspian replaced it with wouldn't even allow the factory firing pin safety to go in at all and a vanek one could be crammed in but would be too tight to function. That went back and I put a lw on it and everything for right in no issues. It just works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolex Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I have a LW slide on my G 17 open gun. No problems. Also have one on a G35 again no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven420 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) The slides are the only thing LW makes that I would put on anything. They are light years better than stock and cheaper than the more expensive offerings. Don't hesitate. Never had a problem from my G35, G27, G23 slide.

BoyGlock Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 The LW slide in my g35 causes my extractor to break its claw in less than 50 rnds. Its now a paper weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoyGlock Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Im not in the USA so its stuck w/ me. I got it at about $350 in my place. A very expensive paper weight indeed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyGlock Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I searched and learned that its probable cause was the round hole holding the extractor was not the correct depth. The remedy is to drill it a bit deeper. No gunsmith here knows much about glocks enought to tinker on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven420 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Tighter tolerances on the rails and barrel areas, easier to mill if you want to lighten, lowered ejection port from lw, cheaper than factory, beveled nose on most models, front cocking serrations, that's just off the top of my head.
