- Trying to get substantially more weight onto my Glock 17. PMM barrel and comp. , Taylor Freelance plus 5 brass base pads, tungsten putty, Tungsten weights. Just shy of 40 oz. Doing this to settle the firearm after transitions. Fun experiment to see how far we could go.

You basically built an open gun
Shhhhhhhhh.......that might have been the plan
If he took off the optic and comp, could you still use this thing in limited? Thanks I’m new to it just trying to understand the rules
How did this gun land up shooting? Was it worth it
Where did you get the tungsten putty weight kit?
Amazon
I’d be interested in adding as much mass to the slide as possible.
Contrary to marketing in the gun industry _(fancy slide cuts sell),_ you want to lengthen the Time period over which that recoil energy is transferred to the shooter.
The way to do that is mass.
Anyone who believes a lighter slide will be less snappy is free to compare a G43 with a G34.
You want less reciprocating mass. Adding weight to the slide would cause excessive muzzle rise and dip.
You must have your "frame" as heavy as possible and "slide" as light/short as possible in order to get the flattest/recoilless pistol.
Go to an engineering forum and ask the question.
Don’t go to a forum about what’s trendy in the gun industry.
The Force isn’t changing. Δt is.
The longer period of time over which you can transfer that energy the less _’recoil’_ you will have.
Lightening the slide will simply speed up the transfer.
That’s why _’constant recoil’_ exists and why the impulse caused by the bolt striking the receiver or frame is problematic.
Rob Sullivan was bewildered by the idea of lightening a bolt.
Bob Vogel added mass to his slide for a reason.
If that’s the case, why wouldn’t the smallest Glock slides have the least recoil?
A G48 will have relatively less recoil than a G43X.
A G34 will have relatively less recoil than a G17.
You can make an argument that the cycling will be faster, but that’s not reducing recoil.
The sale of lightened slides is primarily driven by aesthetics.
@@jimmyschock9395 explain the _’reciprocating mass’_ hypothesis mathematically.
Get the w74 tungston batteries 6oz total weight ant ur light is still functional just not as bright
