Derdang Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) I’m looking at adding Silicon Carbide to my Glock. I thought they use to have a diagram of what areas were allowed and not. Looking at the updated the rules and seems it can go anywhere just not below the mag well or create a beaver tail. What is your opinion on the update?

MemphisMechanic Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 That’s correct. Just don’t create a thum rest and you’re good. Did my CO Walther, it’s a huge upgrade for any gun you can’t screw grippy aftermarket grip panels onto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derdang Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Memphis, Did you just do Silicon Carbide or add extra weight to it? My real plan with regards to my question is I’m trying to add weight to the gun and then putting Silicon Carbide over it. I’m trying to see which areas are a no go.

MemphisMechanic Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) My backstrap weighs five ounces more than a factory one. It’s full of small tungsten weights for pinewood derby cars. My slide is four ounces lighther than stock. I put that back into the frame. Edited January 8, 2019 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derdang Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 Do you think there was a benefit to lighting the slide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Yes. It hits your hands hard. My buddy’s X5 is a pussycat in comparison and feels like it has half the recoil. But it’s about as flat as a non-compensated gun can be, if you crush the gun hard. Watch close and you’ll see me bear down on it after shot number two...

HCH Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I’m no English major, but it seems pretty well explained in the appendix. Do what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamj Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I think apart from a good stipple job silicone carbide seems to be the way to go. I worry about all the granules falling off with aggressive grip pressure, but a friend seems to have good luck with his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derdang Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 AdamJ, I agree I have done silicone Carbide on both my guns and it has worked very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
