A Guide to Custom Glock Slides
A Glock gun is a polymer-framed, semi-automatic, short recoil pistol. It has been designed and produced by the Austrian Company, Glock Ges.m.b.H. This make and type of firearms first entered the Austrian Police and Military in 1982 and gained much popularity.
Why are Glocks popular?
Glocks have become very popular amongst gun users
owing to their simple design and firing mechanism. To shoot the gun, all that
one needs to do is press the trigger, and the shot is fired. It is quick to
use, so it is one of the most preferred guns today.
Another important factor for its popularity is that the Glock is a relatively lighter gun. This makes it easier to carry around on the hip for close to ten hours a day. The trigger weighs approximately five pounds as against the traditional pistol triggers of twelve pounds.
What is a Glock Slide?
In most automatic or semi-automatic guns, the
slide is the upper part of the gun that recoils or slides backward when a shot
is fired.
The slide is spring-loaded, and so, when it reaches its rearmost position, the resulting spring tension will push it back towards the front.
