Senor Bear Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I love seeing glocks with metal slides. You know, because they don't actually have metal slides. Oh no, I guess we better close down airsoft then. Link to post Share on other sites

p.briden Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glock specifically; "Plastic Pistol" Myths Glock pistols do set off metal detectors and can indeed be detected by X-ray machines, due to their metal barrels and slides. The claim that they could not was first made in an article published in The Washington Post on January 13, 1985, entitled, "Quaddafi Buying Austrian Plastic Pistol". In this article, vocal gun control advocate Jack Anderson made the allegations, which were then reported without fact-checking by the Associated Press and further reported by many United States television news stations and newspapers. It has since become an urban legend that to this day continues to appear in news reports and movies, and has even been a topic of debate in the United States Congress. In fact, 83.7% (by weight) of the Glock pistol is normal ordnance steel and the "plastic" parts are a dense polymer known as "Polymer 2" which is radio-opaque and is therefore visible to X-ray security equipment. In addition, virtually all of these "plastic" parts contain embedded steel not to make the firearms "detectable", but to increase functionality and shooting accuracy. Contrary to popular movies like Die Hard 2: Die Harder, neither Glock nor any other gun maker has ever produced a "porcelain", "ceramic" or "plastic" firearm which is undetectable by ordinary security screening devices. Even if a pistol completely undetectable by either X-ray machines or metal detectors were to be developed, the ammunition inside would still be detectable. In Die Hard 2, the character John McClane portrayed by Bruce Willis specifically referred to a non-existent "Glock 7" with many fictitious characteristics: "That punk pulled a Glock 7 on me! You know what that is? It's a porcelain gun made in Germany. It doesn't show up on your airport X-ray machines, and it costs more than you make here in a month!" Mike Papac, an armorer at Cinema Weaponry, which supplied the Glock pistols used in Die Hard 2, has stated, "I remember when we did that scene, I tried to talk them out of it. There's no such thing as a gun invisible to metal detectors, and there shouldn't be, but they wouldn't budge. They had it written into the script and that was that."[9] The Glock pistol design was not the first to incorporate a plastic frame. Heckler & Koch used polymer for their VP70 pistol frame in 1970[10]. HK's innovation of polymer frames and polygonal rifling seem to have been influential in the Glock design. Still earlier, Remington introduced their polymer-framed Nylon 66 Rifle in 1959. This was so revolutionary at the time that Remington dyed the plastic brown to resemble wood and fitted a cosmetic sheet-metal cover on the receiver to make it appear to be made from steel. Further, the most extensive use of polymers in a pistol was in the Ram-Line Syn Tech Exactor pistol with a barrel made from steel-lined plastic.

k30dxedle Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Quick question: is the 34's return-spring guide the same as the 17's? And if not, is there anyplace they can be had for purchase? Link to post Share on other sites
RSP1 Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Quick question: is the 34's return-spring guide the same as the 17's? And if not, is there anyplace they can be had for purchase? It is the same as the G17's on both KSC G34s, and on TM G17s with BoomArms G34 conversions. Link to post Share on other sites
k30dxedle Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Thanks. Just making sure: that makes it shorter than the barrel, correct? Link to post Share on other sites
RSP1 Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Thanks. Just making sure: that makes it shorter than the barrel, correct? Yes. The farthest front portion of the slide, forward of the frame, is not filled out by the recoil guide assembly. Link to post Share on other sites
