Glock Perfection

if it was perfection from the factory, why do you need aftermarket parts

by definition you have diminished it

>>34922096

>perfection

sure, works great, solid as a brick. But too bad it didn't stop there, because it also:

The only reason I clicked into this thread, was because I thought that was a guy.
Is it?

My theory is you make it "perfect" once you customize it but even then "glock perfection" is a stupid saying when they refuse to innovate such a tired design.

On a side note...fuck blacklist industries and their 7-9 month lead time for barrels that's really more like 10-12. I want my shit when you said I'd get it.

Are you the /k/ trap or is this a random picture? Finding out is the only reason I clicked this thread.

The irony of that picture is that the complete lower of a glock is like a hundred bucks but the upper part costs three or four times as much

TBQH im a glock hater too but the first one is objectively false and the second one is as close to objectively false as such a subjective thing can get.

Glocks, particularly the 9mm ones, are very size efficient for their given capacities. Not many other sub 1.2" double stacks on the market.

I almost bought a glock 26 today

I'll put it in perspective for you, I'm a 5'3" manlet. every 'nth of an inch and ounce counts for short fucks like me.

Which is why am "reduced" to carry a springfield xd-s. And yes, of course I got the .45 because i have to compensate for something.

That said, yes, glocks are fine guns. But they are on the thicker side.

>>34923273
You're straight delusional if you're comparing double stacks to single stacks. And retarded if you can't look at numbers to see that glocks are actually quite thin compared to other comparable offerings.

>>34922506
gross, a cunt

>>34923361

You only read the last half of my post, didn't you?

To admit, i didn't read the entirety of your other post. Stopped paying attention before the second sentence.

That said, a gun being single or double stack (the point you're trying to make) doesn't matter to a short fuck like me (the point I'm making).

My body type dictates that it doesn't fucking matter how thin a double stack is or can be, because I myself am short stack, and can only effectively conceal carry single stack guns.

Also yes, mildly delusional. Good luck winning this argument.

>.45 out of a short barrel
Gross. Check your loads senpai, lot of .45 loads are designed around a longer barrel and tend to experience failures to expand with short ones(sub 4")

>glocks are fine guns. But they are on the thicker side.
Not when compared apples to apples. They're very thin for a double stack, particularly give the relative lack of controls sticking out the side. IIRC their single stacks are pretty thin but not nearly as thin when compared to their competition as the double stacks are.

>>34923712

>already had this argument about glocks, read the other posters comments

as for the .45, it works fine for now, i like it well enough.

But if you caught the sublimity of my comment, in which i say, "because I have to compensate for something" you'd understand that I'm implying I have a small penis, and need such a large caliber to feel good about myself.

good god, I can't believe i had to spell that out.

>>34923712
Problem a lot of single stacks have is they're thin to a fault, often exacerbated by overly long trigger pull. The thinner the grip left-to-right, the more width it needs front-to-back to keep the gun from turning in the hand as the trigger is pulled. Glock's product doesn't have this issue.

>>34923815
Bruh, as somebody else with a little dick let me be the first to say that the last goddamn thing you want is to not be able to get it up. which is the dick equivalent of a round not expanding on impact.

In the same way that your lil dick gonna look like a baby dick if you cant get it up, an unexpanded .45 jhp is even smaller than an expanded 9mm.

BAKA cant believes i has to spell it out

>he doesn't buy guns based on how cute they are

>>34923898

You're gonna have to spell something else out for me. See, I figured short barrel length only meant you weren't gonna get a good twist rate, ergo that large ass slug would be less stable in flight (based on trajectory, not in tumbling terms).

So how does it work out that a .45 jhp fired out of a 3.3" barrel doesn't expand as well if being fired out of a 5" barrel? The slug expands in both barrels and makes contact with the rifling at the moment the powder explodes and pushes said slug out the front door.

But how does all that translate to the expansion of a hit target?

>>34923989
Oh man, first things first, i've had a few drinks and what im saying should be taken in generalities because im no ballistic scientist.

Expansion on target is almost entirely velocity/substrate dependent. Twist rate and the resultant AOA(angle bullet is relevant to what it hits) can effect things like fragmentation at high velocity and perhaps stability in target in general but wont really determine whether expansion occurs or not.

Specifically what im talking about is that many .45 caliber rounds are designed around a 5" barrel(blame 1911s) but will usually do fine for a 4" barrel. When you go into the 3" area is when it starts to become more of a question. Of course every caliber's rounds are dependent on velocity for expansion but .45 seems to have more of an issue with it. Whether it's due to naturally low velocity or bullet design im not sure. If i were you I'd check whatever ammo I'm using just to be sure. Always a good choice with a subcompacts of any caliber but again, .45 somewhat in particular.

I'd imagine many if not most current gen ammos would be ok but some may not, ammo makers change bullets fairly frequently without notice, and particularly older round may prove problematic.

At first I thought RGB was stupid in PCs, but this is topping it

>>34924185

hm. So basically the barrel twist rate, .45 bullet weight, slow velocity, plus the trajectory issue that I knew about, -is- the entire reason.

Another way to put it: "what's more effective, a large slow hammer swing, or a small fast hammer that mushrooms out on contact?"

Well, I'll go ahead and do some research, but I have a sneaking suspicion i'm going to have to go gun shopping in the future. Normally, I'm excited. Now it's to fix a mistake I didn't know about. damnit. Although, better to know and fix, than not know and suffer the consequences.

Sorry my post wasn't as clear as it should have been. long day.

>So basically the barrel twist rate, .45 bullet weight, slow velocity, plus the trajectory issue that I knew about, -is- the entire reason.
Speaking specifically to whether a .45 ACP JHP will expand? No, at typical defensive ranges velocity, bullet design, and substrate(what it hits) is what will matter. twist rate and trajectory are accuracy concerns.

> I have a sneaking suspicion i'm going to have to go gun shopping in the future.
Id do a little googling about good .45 loads for subcompacts first. im sure many people have been in the same position and that there are at least some loads that'll expand. The round has enough energy, questions is if the bullet is properly designed to use it. It may not be ideal(depending on personal philosophy), but should be fine. A non expanding JHP will still poke a hole after all.

>>34922012
Owner ruined concealability of butt by adding +2. Silly boy.

>>34924553

Gotcha, okay. So I'll have to just be careful about what defensive round I purchase, based on bullet design and probable defensive distance. If it's point blank, I could see where the problems could come from. Now I understand the bit about "modern bullet," a standard holla point may not be the best design, whereas, for example, the RIP ammo would be because it shatters on impact.

So, that just means I have a lot more research to do. I can live with that. Thanks!

>>34922257
This. A while back I randomly decided to build a Glock part by part because autism. On the Glockstore, all the parts will add up to ~750 bucks. A slide was 350, Barrel is 175, frame is 75, parts n shit are another 200 for upper and lower parts. That's not including sights

Do somd research, "45 needs a long barrel" is a fucking meme thats as stupid as "9mm isnt an effective caliber".

Bullet design and powders have come a long way since 1911.

Nah. Just take a look at Glock subcompacts, they are all bulky as fuck compared to other subcompacts available on the market .

Glocks are pretty light though.
