Chemical composition of Glock frames?

[The Lone Haranguer]

The fact that old MarkCo refers to an injection molded part as "cast" leads me to believe he's talking out of his ass.

Hitting the ground running, are we?

occasional reader who read something so ridiculous, he had to sign up to comment on it.

Any mechanical, industrial, or materials engineer who this MarkCO is supposed to be, would instantly smell the BS of anybody referring to injection molding as casting. It's worse than calling a mag a clip.

TLH, it's called having a life. Personally I got no dog in this, if you're the type to hang onto every word from a guy, because of some supposed authoritative title on the internet, good for you.

What materials can be used to bond the plastic mag extension sleeve to the Glock frame?

I'll go with Wire Nuts and Candy Corn

I am trying to find out what materials some of the custom shops use when modifying or reducing the Glock's grip.

So far I'll I can find is Devcon Plastic Welder II which is questionable and Devcon DEVWELD 531 but no place to purchase DEVWELD 531 in the US.

Does anyone here have any experience with bonding materials to the Glock's polymer frame?

Scotch tape and staples.


For the OP-


All levity aside; about a year ago one of the posters over on Glocktalk ran a nondestructive IR spec. on his Model 20 frame and it matched Nylon 6,6 very closely.
