What does /k/ think of the so called "Roland Special"?
A Roland Special consists of
- Glock 19
- RMR attached to slide
- Suppressor sights
- Mounted flashlight
- Threaded barrel with compensator

Why would you ever need this, garbage for carry and fragile in the field.

What?

Supposedly it was developed by some SEAL team Delta operator.

RMRs are pretty rugged, and if you keep the lower parts stock it might be fine.

Looks like shit and you just wasted all that money on a Glock when you could have gotten a good gun in the first place. Poorfags always gonna poorfag.

The barrel is threaded for that goofy ass brake, reference the set screw in the side.

I wager the douchebag who owns it also owns a can that can be swapped out for the brake.
>>
Why didn't they just do this to the 17? Why use the compact model?
>>
>>32674492
theyre raised sights so you can see over a supressor. but in this case, just so you can cowitness with the optic
>>
>>32674492
Sights that are taller so your sight picture is not obscured by a suppressor

Does a comp even work with 9mm loads?

Suppressor height sights. They're taller that standard sights, for use with a suppressor. When used in a setup like OPs pic, they usually cowitness with a RMR.

Quicker follow-up shots

I wonder if the brake is actually worth it considering the extra length it adds. If length didn't matter I would just carry a 34 and be done with it.
>>
>>32674545
How does a 19 have quicker follow up shots than a 17?

>>32674521
The Guns and Ammo article states it is meant to be carried concealed

>>32674553
Less recoiling mass

>>32674521
With the brake on a 19 it fits Glock 34 holsters fine.

Adding it to a 17 means you'll need a custom holster.

It was make as a joke at first by a guy in the Army AWG but then it turned into a real thing. He goes by the fake name Roland Deschain. You can find a lot of his posts on Primary & Secondary.

Ignore the fucktard that thinks they're not durable.

It is.

The idea behind the Roland Special was the guy had a X300 on his Glock 19, he then tried a KKM brake on it because the X300 already gave it longer length anyways. Again, the whole premise behind the creation of the Roland Special was a joke.
>>

Wtf I want a roland special now
>>
>>32674521
> Why use the compact model?
Because it's meant to be CC'd, despite having a fucking X-300, RMR, suppressor sights, and a lolbrake. The Roland Special is as memey as a gun can possibly get, and it's even more retarded now that we have smaller lights like the XC1 available that completely negate the brake. But if you point this out, the proponents unironically shriek
>STANDOFF DEVICE
and fly into an autistic rage.

The Roland Special is a pointless setup that gets an inordinate amount of attention from mall ninjas.

>RMR attached to slide

If you are shooting beyond 25 yards, you should be using a long gun. If you are shooting inside of 25 yards, you can get equivalent results with irons. Most of the problems people have with their pistol technique has nothing to do with their sights being inadequate and everything to do with mistakes in stance, grip, breathing, trigger control, etc

>Mounted flashlight

This is only useful in home defense scenarios, and who the hell would choose a pistol for home defense as their primary weapon over an AR?

>Suppressor sights
>Threaded barrel with compensator

Congratulations on having killed your handgun's concealability.

>but I wasn't going to conceal it!

Then why the hell are you relying on a handgun to begin with? It is the only advantage they have over a long gun.
>>
I plan on making one. Only with an XC1 and probably no threaded barrel. And without any bullshit on the bottom.

So basically just a g19 with RMR and xc1.

sans the comp I'm OK with it. carrying a G19+x300 sounds nice on paper but is too impractical IRL; tried it, sucks ass. For EDC I'm saving up to get my G26 milled and fitted with an RMR. Fucking Glock juice don't make an MOS G26 for some reason... could only get more esthetic if poly80 released a G26 frame with a regular trigger guard but with the same smooth surface of their G19.

Why are you making non racegun arguments against a racegun? This thing is clearly for IPSC. IPSC doesn't involve concealment.

Except that there's people who actually conceal it

Well good for them, the extra thermal mass must be useful in Alaska where you'd actually be wearing enough to do so.
>>
>>32679279
>This thing is clearly for IPSC.

Yeah, that's why it has a flashlight, threaded barrel, and suppressor sights and why all of the people who are excited about it are competition shooters and not mall ninjas, right?

I would, ARs are illegal in my state.

Do grip plugs actually do anything?
>>
>>32682550
They give you extra slack for fudging your reloads by helping funnel the mag into position at the cost of making it harder to rip the mag out of the gun if it's stuck.
>>
>>32679225
>Then why the hell are you relying on a handgun to begin with?
Are you mistaking this (actual) joke for the offensive handgun program?

Take a step back for a second to realize that it is indeed a gag and that you rook it so seriously that you are in fact wrong on several points
>>
>>32684247
He said grip plug, not mag well, fagit.
Grip plugs don't do anything. They are for guys who like butt plugs and got themselves a gun butt plug. If they are large enough they actually mess up how the frame moves under recoil and cause a tiny fraction more recoil.

Poorfags all over this thread

>being so much of a manlet that a gun literally as long as a G34 (aka as long as a fullsize 1911) with a Glock 19 length grip is somehow impossible to conceal

not even a roland special tard but you don't know anything about carrying and defending yourself with pistols

>>32682550
help keep sand out of the grip channel
make it harder to catch the rim of the exposed round in the mag on the little lip in the magwell.
