Post by: Dakotaranger on November 18, 2009, 02:14:51 PM: I wonder how much force he's exerting to get the slide to function like that IF it's stock like he claims

The ONLY thing that works on your Mosquito .
I have heard of hooking the rear sight on your belt or a table edge to work the slide, He must be catching the sight in the fabric of his shirt to anchor it.

Post by: fightingquaker13 on November 18, 2009, 03:10:31 PM: Nope, not on the G26 or G19. I'm not too dissapointed either. That seems like an awfully loose slide. Maybe he fiddled with the spring?

Actually last time I took the Mosquito out it ran well. I'm still not trusting it, but it has me interested again.

FQ,

Have you ever handled a 'race' gun? The slides are incredible!

Post by: shooter32 on November 18, 2009, 04:22:21 PM: No Glock at home but I have shot a custom Glock 34 last year at a range, with a slide that was unbelievable.

Post by: long762range on November 18, 2009, 04:35:15 PM: He has to have a reduced power recoil spring. The standard is 17 lbs. There is no way on earth that a untricked up glock slide could go out of battery by pulling it back then shoving it forward.

It has at least been sent to the shopfor an action job. Probly has a 10 lb recoil spring.

No, but I would like to. ;D

Post by: Badgersmilk on November 18, 2009, 05:24:34 PM: Even if he's catching the sight on his shirt or something... I'm not buying the "stock gun" thing unless he's playing on words and saying it's a "stock gun", but the recoil spring is cut in half, & I'm using super light loads and a buffer to keep the gun from cracking in half.

Post by: hatunbaby on November 18, 2009, 05:45:03 PM: Hello, new member today! ;D. I managed to get the slide racked once with the right body english after about ten ties. I haven't repeated it in about 20 more tries and my shoulder and pecs hurt. I did it on my Glock 19, but I think the slide only moved enough to reset the trigger, not far enough to chamber a round as I did it without a magazine or rounds in the gun. Looks interesting though.

I hope slide lightening isn't anything like butt thunder. ::)

Actually just the opposite, you want a heavy slide and light recoil spring. The heavier the slide the more momentum it will gain on the backs stroke.

That was a long slide (compeition) model he was using.

Post by: twyacht on November 19, 2009, 03:27:50 PM: Lubed up the G21 slide,............... and?????............

NOPE... :-\ I don't even think it budged...

Even tried my M+P and????.......

NOPE.....

Oh well, I'll just keep one the chamber, and aim, squeeze, repeat,.....

Actually you need a heavy slide that uses its momentum to carry it on backwards when you jerk the gun back.

This was the "competition" long slide Glock he was using.

Post by: garand4life on November 19, 2009, 08:05:47 PM: I attempted it with my M&P40... Nope but I get the enough play in the slide that the snapcap became partly unseated.
Title: Re: How many of you are going to try this when you get home?
Post by: MikeBjerum on November 19, 2009, 08:33:38 PM: With the hammers pre-cocked ...

I can do it on my open STI 2011 Eagle 5.5;

I can get the slide to move but not fully rack on my limited Para P 16 with long slide.

However, this old body has some very choice words for those that led me to trying through your attempts. I will try to keep it fairly clean, but in the words of mommy dearest ... HANG IT IN YOUR FRICKEN ASSES !!! Now I will go and find that Ben Gay stashed around here somewhere :'(

Post by: rocket56 on November 20, 2009, 01:52:31 PM: this is impossible. there isn't enough inertia in the world to rack my glock slide...maybe if I remove the spring....no way!
