Glock slide mod...whaddaya think?

[BC9696]

I can see both pros & cons to this Sentinel modification, especially if used as EDC. What do you think? https://www.mapleleaffirearms.com/se...lock-26-27-33/

What do you think?

I think I wouldn't want to intentionally create avenues where dirt, lint, and/or Cheeto dust could collect on my carry gun.

It seems to me that machining all that extra metal away would make the slide weaker and prone to cracking. Do see any upside to it.

What pros?

I’ve seen offroster mos Glock selling in the marketplace for around $1k and I’d personally rather get that, or mill the OEM gen 3 slide, than a random aftermarket slide

If you like the look go for it

You know with a TiN barrel every handgun looks better. Great suggestion my friend.

After seeing how much and how quickly dust and lint gets into the grip hole of my carry Glocks when I don't have them plugged, I am going to pass on anymore unnecessary openings

I think the goal of this is show off. To who, I’d guess the Reddit crowd.


(I freely admit that this post makes me sound old and cranky)

I am old and cranky and the point you make is completely valid. I thought (for a boot gun) reducing the weight could be a plus...as is the ability to cool the barrel quicker but the open door to dirt isn't a small concern. Yeah...looks kinda cool but their Duty Cut caught my eye as well.

those holes make an ugly gun even uglier.

IA won't let me carry anything with non factory slide cuts, so that puts that to rest.

It's also an expensive *** cut. I had mine done with an optic cut for about $125.

Reduce the weight? For what? What performance deficiency are you addressing with the weight reduction?

Cool the barrel? For what? How many rounds are you planning to shoot in one string?

Coolness factor? Yeah, probably… If that is your primary driver. But performance-wise? Ah, hhhmmm…

Thanks for the MapleLeaf website reference. Looking at the website, I'd consider just getting an optic cut on a "Carry Essentials" package, but that would be my style.

I'm really still hoping for Glock to release a G26gen5MOS, even though I've been told Glock has no plans to release it in the U.S.

That's ok if Glock doesn't release it here. I'll keep my money and Glock can keep that MOS model in Europe. I mostly carry a G19gen5MOS anyway (I'm in NV).
