Slow Motion Glock

[Geeman]

Just trying to get my head wrapped around the firing cycle of the Glock.  Wow the frame has some flex to it!

Two things come to mind here, Ejector has an issue (bent or broken) or the extractor is holding too tight and not letting the brass go!  The brass doesn't move as the slide is bumping the full rearward travel!  Therefore it is carried back with the slide!?

That's one thing that I liked about watching Top Shots, they showed slow motion shots of all the handguns being fired. Talk about flexing, what a Rodeo!

I am not trying to hi-jack your thread, but here is a 44 Auto Mag firing in slow motion.  Watch the barrel move back, the rotary bolt open, and the sight.  They are recoil operated with a rotary bolt similar to the M16.  A very unique action for a pistol.

That frame flex is exactly why you need a heavier (~22 lb) RSA when firing full power ammo in a G20.

Glock should offer the 20 with 2 different weight springs for the varying levels of ammo in 10mm. The RSA is only a $7 part, and would have saved me a load of money in ammo for testing purposes, plus the $30 for the aftermarket RSA.
