Want a Glock 21 longslide?

[ShooterMcGavin]

Those of you who have been looking, get on over to lonewolfdist.com, they're taking orders for a run of bare longslides for G21 FGR frames. Add a 6" KKM barrel, build the internal slide parts, and you are good to go. These will be soaked up quick, and it's a temporary production. The last time these were built (by another vendor) was several years ago.

I wonder how reliable it is.

It'll have to take a custom recoil spring to function properly.

I got the email from them as well - slide is at $225, then you need to add the internal parts, extractor, firing pin, sight, etc - then the 6" barrel - it can easily add up to $400+

My concern is the reliability - FTE/FTF/etc? I have good experience with the Lone Wolf barrel - but not sure of the "whole" thing?

why would you need a custom recoil spring?

[Greg-Dawg]

why would you need a custom recoil spring?

To compensate the slide/barrel length for effecient recoil.

Why's that, had problems with them in the past? I've never dealt with them before, so I don't know. Just curious.

i dont think that little bit of slide mass matters when using standard hardball

of course if you are tuning your own loads you would be using special springs anyway

[SVRider]

Yeah, and they've been promissing a 6" length G20 slide for over a year now....

Correct - using WWB I had problems, PMC less so, but until I fooled around with an aftermarket guide and different RS I couldn't get it to run 100%.

That's a second generation frame.

Good looking gun though. If I wasn't such a 1911 guy (and in debt ) I'd pick one up.

why spend all that when you can get a SA XD45 tactical for about the same price as a slide, barrel & parts.

Maybe that big hole in the top of the slide is so it weighs the same as a standard slide, then you could use the same springs. Dunno.
