I'm wondering if someone has cut some foam (or even easier, shoved in a pair of ear plugs) into the empty hole behind the glocks; to see if the foam does anything for recoil absorption..
 
The laws of physics aren't so easily fooled. Best best bet is to get some foam, or rubber between your hand and the frame. Cite example: Makarov with hard plastic grips- recoil Ouch ! Put rubber Pearce grips on it and it becomes 'acceptable'. For a glock you'd need a Hogue Handall 'inner tube slice' grip & perhaps some foam under it.

In the hole in the grip?
I don't see how that would do anything.
Get the brass plug that fits there and a heavy recoil rod. Mass is the only thing that truly reduces recoil.

I think he is trying to expand on the idea I used to see on racquet for racquet ball (and tennis). They were small foam like things you put in between the strings of the racquet and they were supposed to "dampen" the vibrations from the contact with the ball and in turn deliver less sting etc to the hand.

I don't think those things ever really worked.

With the Glock, I did see a mag plate replacement which was some sort of weight and damping device in one...

I haven't heard of that working either.
 
Try Agrip on your Glock. Also, try a Wolff guide rod with a recoil spring weight that results in your brass being ejected about four or five feet.
 
Sure it will reduce the recoil. Oh and I've got some land I want to sell you on Mars

It's not buying the land that's the problem, it's getting there...

The concept is that, vibration travels throughout the entire gun, if you have foam or rubber, there is absorption and "dampening".. It won't be much, but the way I figure it, I'm wondering if it's enough to actually be felt, without spending extra $$$..

Rubber, would probably work even better than foam (if you pressed one of the tennis dampeners inside the gun)

But that would constitute spending money, but then again, a wilson US Open Dampener is about $1.75. Probably not too bad of an experiment, and if it doesn't help, put it back on the tennis racquet..

I imagine the recoil on the glocks are thousands of times more brutal than a tennis racquet.. But again, just wondered if anybody tried..
 
A couple of years ago I bought a recoil buffer from Buffer Technologies for my G-22. The real purpose of the buffer is to keep the slide and frame from banging together on recoil, but it does have an added benefit of reducing felt recoil.
I would imagine if you took the suggestions others made and combine them, you would probably reduce felt recoil of your pistol.
 
Try the Haarts recoil reducer in your Glock. It's a lot more than 99 cents, though. I haven't gotten around to getting one for my Kahr yet. It doesn't really need it but I want it anyway.:D
 
If you're looking to dampen vibration, you could fill up the hollow in the grip with a mixture of something like, say, very fine birdshot and RTV. The birdshot would add mass, the RTV would dampen vibrations.

The effect would probably be rather subtle . . . if you believe in it, you may feel it. Otherwise . . . :rolleyes:
 
Two years ago when I first started shooting, recoil used to bother me. I found that with time and practice it just desn't seem there, anymore.

Even with my SIG 228, a 9mm albeit pretty light weight, I thought the recoil was substantial when I first shot it. It flipped all over creation. Now, my time between shots is 1/4 what it was then and I don't even notice the recoil after shooting a couple of hundred rounds.

Perhaps the nerves are just getting killed in my hands ... :)

My Baer SuperTac has recoil-buff in it, and I notice no difference when shooting my Kimber Team Match II, which does not have recoil buffs. The TM is also stainless, and I believe a tad heavier by an ounce or so.
 
No. That's the patented "Anti-KA-BOOM" (AKB) hole. You don't want to plug it up. :p
 
My buddy had a device in his Sig 239...IIRC it was a recoil spring guide that was mercury filled? Forget what he called it but said it made a big difference. I shot it and it was nice & manageable but I didn't get to shoot it stock so couldn't assess how much of a difference it made.

Any of you guys ever heard of such a device?
