Slide Broken


Triple

Recommended Posts

It's my understanding some bad slides may have come from the factory. Mine cracked on my Cheely gun and to my knowledge STI replaced it for free. Talk to your builder or to STI if it's a stock gun.

They just do. There's not much metal there and even at 165pf we are talking about a lot of flex during shooting. A slight flaw in the port can start a weak spot getting weaker with every round.

I've been shooting for over 10 years and if I have seen many broken slides. There has been much debate about tri-topping vs not, but I've seen many of both kind. Then others are like "what the hell are you talking about?" and claim to have a billion rounds in guns with the original slide.

I have a lamp made from broken slides. Shoot 'em, break 'em, shoot 'em again. That's my open gun motto.
