Who has the coolest slide serrations?

[buck460XVR]

The race for makers to have the oddest cocking serrations are like those myriad of stupid looking rims I see in certain parts of my city.

Bling is bling. Just like most fishing lures are designed to catch fishermen and not fish. I often wonder as I'm handling the different brands at the local gun shop on Saturday afternoons, if the difference in the serrations have a technical purpose or are only cosmetic, and if the person that designed them was a gun tech or a graphic designer.

Does make for an interesting thread tho.........

It makes a difference IMO.

my M&P has a very aggressive bite to it opposed to my glock.

JOe

 

[RobMoore]

Agreed there, I never felt the need to add grip tape to the rear of my M&P slide like I did to the Glock.

 

[Redneck with a 40]

I'd vote for the Kimber SIS.

S&W 945

Thanks, Boats. I was hoping somebody would step up with a photo and you did!

 

[Boats]

No sweat. There really aren't that many pistols that deviate from the straight and narrow on the slide serrations and you knew about one that not many folks consider.

 

[SwampWolf]

Is the 945 you pictured your gun? Mine is one of my very favorite pistols.

 

[Boats]

It's a cropped high res photo I downloaded from S&W. I have considered the 945 in the past, but kept buying true 1911s instead.

 

[M&PVolk]

The M&P has my vote. Attractive and highly functional. You will not have the slide slip out of your fingers.

 

[Shipwreck]

I really like the Brown's Kobra scales the best

 

[dom1104]

wow you 1911 guys are a particular bunch.

" I got rid of my 1911 because it didnt look right"

lol.


Frankly I dont care much about slide serrations, but I can nominate the worst.

CZ. My CZs serrations are fine there is just not enough of em.

I like my P30's slide serrations. Not that 'cool' but they feel great and I really like having the forward slide serrations as well.

 

[woad_yurt]

How about these art deco jobs on the TT33? They'd be all-time great if they didn't have that ugly pin showing.

Colt vertical slide serrations. Beautiful, Elegant, Classic and it works.

 

[rattletrap1970]

I would love to see a diamond knurl.

 

[The Lone Haranguer]

The fanciest, "coolest" slide serrations are worthless if they are not also functional.

 

[twofifty]

The front serrations on that STI Master are cut the wrong way.
Obviously the intent was to 'frame' the gun's name rather than add functionality.

 

[RobMoore]

I bet they have functionality just the same.

How boring would the world be if we were all satisfied with as-issued Colt M1911s?

I like the brown scales and the STI "tooth" they originally came out on an open pistol with a red dot and are nice to have if you don't have a racker. If you want endless options go check out SVI's gun builder you can get anything you want as they are all custom.

I've seen a couple with the rim size on the rear window. I find them quite entertaining.
