    Slides FS

    Why are there so many slides for sale on the firearms parts and accessories forum? What are people doing with their guns so as to have slides to sell? Am I missing out on something? Just curious.

    Easier and cheaper to buy an aftermarket slide then send yours off for custom work?

      Because a frame cannot be DROS, buy a complete gun and sell what is not needed for whatever project.

        I think it also has to do with more people putting red dots on their pistols. They are getting new slides with red dot cuts and then selling their old slide.

          Because they like to make their guns extremely unreliable at the cost of looking cool.

            But they don't look cool, only common.

                    I remember buying a glock one time and the young guy behind the counter was so eager to offer to stipple it for me, for a fee of course.

                    I had the rare opportunity to quote Adam Sandler.

                      yep, then they sell the very parts that will return their gun to factory specs and reliability.
