CK slide weight debate - SOLVED

[deneir]

Ok gents to solve a debate that I've read before but just happened to have the tools to solve. The difference in weight between an open CK Arms Hardcore, and CK Arms Thunder, slides. And I threw my STI DVC limited in for fun.

 

Here is what I got:

Hardcore: 11.4oz   326g

Thunder:   11.2oz   319g

DVC-L:       12.3oz   353g

 

All of these are 9mm, not that it would matter, measured on the same scale. Same day/time. These slides were not stripped so they had firing pins/block, extractor etc. Installed. So as equal as I could easily make it. And excuse me if my grams to oz isn't exact I just read the scale.

Thanks for sharing this information. I didn't think the two CK slides would be that close.

Stripped. FGW, CK Thunder, CK Hardcore

Yeah, the sights on the DVC would make a difference...

DVC - Sights plus not having the rear cut out of it.

 

But what really surprised me is my Kimber .45 combat gold was 12.5oz without any cuts in it.

 

And the CZ TS-orange was 14.8oz but at least it's longer.

Just weighed my chaos slide out of curiousity. 

 

10.2oz with internals.
