Longslide school

[Jay/G20]

Things have moved in a forward motion. I received my long slide from Lone Wolf and popped the box .............within 20 minutes of finding my parts, installing,and racking the slide .....a GREAT BIG SMILE broke out on my face. I will have to get back with all the details but { whispering} I did go out and run 50 rounds through it ......perfect operation!!!!!   I am very pleased!!!!!!!!. I'll be back soon with pics comments and an overall rating.

Yeah, but were your groups any tighter?

[Jay/G20]

On a typical house fly there are approximately  8 front-orbital bristles, 5 external vertical bristle, and  7 internal vertical bristle per side of face. When I went out to run the pistol , I had no thought in my mind to observe the operation and function of the pistol. I was out there to see if the pistol was able to group tighter than I could do with the stock barrel .
I was concerned if my investment was worth it. After the 1st 10 rounds I noticed that my dog 37meters away was having a problem shewing away a pesky fly that kept landing on his ear. I felt confident and I must say a little cocky , took steady aim and removed the items {mentioned in the opening comments} from the flies face 1 by 1 until that pesky fly decided that it
was indeed time to move along . I'm positive I could have punched the flies time card on the very first shot .......but I have been known as a guy that wouldn't even hurt a fly.....
So gandog56 if you allow me the time I will get this pistol on paper and better answer your question.

Reminds me of that line from They Call Me Bruce.

You missed

Yes, but that fly will never have sex again!

Basic Yagui (sp) slide. Fits my Caspian and STI 10.

For those that have longslides, what's your holster preference?

I was going to say, I shot a fly once, then they said that the fly flew away...
I said yes, he flew away, but he will not reproduce!

I need to go there.  Glock guys, what are you using for components?  I want to do a 6in slide and bbl with a burris Fastfire for hunting and a trail/camping gun.   Would some of you tell me what works and what don't?

Just my opinion, but it's probably not worth the expense of the long slide, if you plan to mount an optic on it. One of the big advantages of the long slide (vs just a 6" barrel) is the increased sight radius; an optic negates that advantage and will work just as well on a stock slide.

I'm a guessing a longer barrel also makes a higher velocity. Or will increased friction negate any gain? Don't know, ain't no engineer.

There is like multiple posts of people with Glocks suddenly wanting long slides....I kind of wonder why.

Probably the same reason you wanted a 1911 long slide. Just guessing...

No, I was hoping the one inch sight radius change would make me shoot more accurate. It has fully adjustable rear and red fiber optic pipe front. And I'll probably put on a set of Crimson Trace laser grips, just like my Dan Wesson Razorback. But they don't work too well in broad daylight, and the Razorback sites are fixed.
