SA Friday Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Why chrome a Glock slide? The finish is already tough as hell as is, and it won't do anything to advance your shooting. Almost all the other mods I can understand. They have potential benfits for your shooting. I don't think a KKM barrel is necessary, especially in production. If you are shooting 40 S&W it does make your brass last a lot longer, and if going to lead then it's understandable. The mag extensions are not legal for production as previously stated. I would take the money for chroming the slide and put towards ammo and good instruction from a pro. Bigger bang for your buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Wolf is planning slides for the same models with the cut on top, but also with front cocking serrations not found on OEM Glocks. Both slides are in stainless steel. Provided these slides do not make the whole gun 2 oz over the OEM weight, will they be legal? I guess this question depends on whether "contour" means the slide's silhouette or its surface features.

Cuz Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Why chrome a Glock slide? The finish is already tough as hell as is... That's exactly what I was thinking. Besides, they look so good just the way they are. The only other mod I think is essential is to get some TruGrip tape and wrap the grip. My Glocks aren't complete until the grip is wrapped. Makes all the difference in the world to me. -Cuz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Amidon Director NROI I tried to let this go...but I can't make sense of it. Maybe I need to look at the new (2008) rules and see if they are different. Are they still going to not allow grip tape on the slide...but are going to allow after-market slides...with added front slide serrations ???

Are they still going to not allow grip tape on the slide...but are going to allow after-market slides...with added front slide serrations ??? The rules make no logical sense. Once an after-market slide is put on the pistol, it's no longer a "Production" gun. The "No griptape on the slide" rule was ridiculous. Yet tungsten guide rods can be added to increase muzzle weight. I still think Production division should be renamed to "Limited DA" division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eerw Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 that makes no sense to allow a slide change... same with the allowance of checkering, stippling and beveling magwells.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrettone Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 (edited) I shoot an olive drab G17 and G19 with a chrome slide in production division all the time. Doesn't make you any faster...you just look ultra-kewl...Anyway, it is not a problem as long as you stay within the weight restrictions and don't do any other illegal external mods according to the rulebook and JA. I gotta agree with SA Friday though. Putting the money towards practice ammo and training is the ticket if you are just getting going. I didn't start adding any "gingerbread" to my guns until I was in the sport a couple of years. Bling doesn't win matches...just ask B. Seevers (Oh!!!....gonna pay for that one when Uncle Bill hears about it!!!) . Seriously, Bill, myself, and many others have tried to "pimp our guns" only to have it come back to bite us in the a$$ on match day. Had a "colored coating" put on my open gun once...looked real cool, but it was the stupidest thing I ever did (wasted $250 on the deal). It wouldn't run right to save its life. Had to strip it down and pay a smith to get it running properly again. Think about it before you do it. If you plan to shoot any IPSC matches, you might not want to do it either. Those rule sets can be a bit stickier on such things as well. Once you go chrome, you can't go home!!! YMMV.

richardschennberg Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 One reason to know such restriction is when shopping for used guns. Even if it makes no sense to do a modification yourself, it is nice to know if a used gun modified by someone else conforms to a shooting sport's rules.
