Glock 23 frame flex with...

[bmoore54]

Light/laser mounted? Looking into getting a light maybe light/laser for my glock 23. I was doing some reading and came across some info saying that .40 glocks often have functioning issues with mounted lights due to frame flexing. Anyone have any bad experiences with a light mounted to their .40 glock? Thanks!

How heavy is your light/laser??
I guess it might be a problem if you intended to mount a full size mag-light, but other than that, they don't make these things out of cheap plastic..

I haven't had a malfunction with my Glock 23 yet. It has a light, and hasn't been cleaned in 1500 rounds.

You haven't had your entire frame flex due to a 5 ounce light?!?
I assumed you'd have a circlegun by now!

Well it is plastic. I threw a plastic plate into a campfire once and it melted super fast. You would think the pistol would just warp and melt no problem.

Cheap plastic and all!

There is a lot of subject matter on this. The most consistent truth to it is, the gen 3 are more susceptible to it then the gen 4. And the number one cause is people have a tendency to crank down on their light, attaching it to tightly to the frame, it's plastic you can twist and distort the frame rail by over tightening the light. I have ran lights on Glock 35's, 22's and 23's gen 3 and 4. I snug my light firmly but not with a death grip and have not had any problems.

I recently watched a video of a Glock shooting in slow motion. I couldn't believe how much the frame wobbled and flexed.

Post a link yes?

I'd like to see the slow motion glock. I've seen the slow motion ak. Those things look like springboards for diving.

Yea, it is kinda weird to see the muzzle go from a 4 o clock orientation to a 12 o clock orientation like that.

It's fine. Carry on.
