Cylinder-Slide Glock?

REAPER4206969: ...Dealer price is $440...

There is no one single "dealer price"- you buy large quantities, you get larger discounts. At the Big Town Gun Show last weekend in Mesquite, three of the larger dealers selling NIB Glocks for less than $440.

Kinda funny when you see someone asking $525 for a used Glock 19 fifty feet from SAW who was selling the same gun NIB for $440.

I know. I gave the general standard.

I'm with atomd, but I think it's like the old beaters being driven around with "rims" and mega stereo systems...it's still just an old car.

Glock is the equivalent of a “Cash-Cow” for the firearm trades much the same as the 1911 series pistol and AR series rifle add on/modifications. It’s all about Johnny saw cash$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!

The old saying - if ain't broke don't fix it comes to mind on this one - perhaps the grip reduction is necessary for some but why on earth would you monkey with the feed ramp and ejector on a gun that is damn near 100% reliable out of the box. I have never had a malfunction of any kind with a Glock over thousands of rounds. The only other gun I can say that about was a Sig P226.

messing with the feed ramp and ejector in a glock does seem pretty freakin pointless.

* Carry Bevel Slide
* Front Cocking Serration

Call me crazy, but I like that. I'm a huge fan of forward cocking serrations. Although, my Glock 19 RTF2 would be even more hideous with an additional set of matching fish gills out front!

If companies and people didn't modify firearms...my 1911 wouldn't have what others deem unnecessary. Unnecessary stuff like ambi safeties, lowered and flared ejector port, aggressive frame checkering, carry bevel, those silly bobtails...

The "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mantra leaves zero room for innovation. If someone likes that type of modification, who am I to say it is silly or unnecessary?

I see where you are coming from. Tuning a 1911 to feed hollow points more reliably is very different than tuning a Glock just to tune a Glock. I would want to know it was modified to fix a particular problem or inherit weakness.

there is no weakness to the glock design here. a properly functioning glock will feed everything and spit it out properly. that's why i just don't get it.

the inherent "weakness" to a glock feed ramp may be the lack of support for the case, but that won't be fixed by polishing the feed ramp. lol.

"Carry beveling" the slide seems rather pointless as well, as the Glock slide is remarkably free of sharp edges and corners.
