Sh0ty Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Dhunt, I like the black barrel better, but that's just me. Two tone guns are better than all silver, but all black is just sexy. -Sh0ty Link to post Share on other sites

junior Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) I've been searching the web for days, and it seems like this KSC one is the only Metal slide and barrel available for the KSC 26. Does anyone know of any others? http://www.wgcshop.com/pcart/shopper.php?i...SCG26_cat_Slide Edited January 10, 2007 by junior Link to post Share on other sites
ViciousV10s Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Go do www.dentrinity.com and search under the Shooters Design KSC slides, they have aluminum slides and steel slides that fit the KSC G26. They even have compensated slides that look the the G26C slides but are made for the semi-only 26. Link to post Share on other sites
junior Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Thanks a bunch Vicious, Will that slide still work with out any modifications with the G&G Outer barrel? Just out of curiosity, what setup would you go with? I just got a new G26 and a G&P SS100 silencer in yesterday, So i'm in need of a slide and threaded barrel. Link to post Share on other sites
ViciousV10s Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I never recommend the G&G threaded barrels. Shooters Design also makes threaded barrels for the KSC G26 but it looks like DEN is sold out of both + and - at the moment. I dont know anywhere other than DEN that sells them. I would wait for them to get restocked. Link to post Share on other sites

M1 Grand Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 What do you guys recomend as a cheaper yet good threaded barrel for the G19, also what silencer? US reltailers if possible! Thanks Link to post Share on other sites

stevorob Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) Let's revive this thread a little. Just finished adding some parts to my G19. New set of sights, and trademarked slide. Still looking for a trigger safety and some misc internal parts. Edited January 17, 2007 by stevorob Link to post Share on other sites
doopydoo Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Wow... after seeing all of those NICE hand polished glocks, I feel like ###### for the job I did. I wanted differenty results, like brushed steel, but nevertheless it looks much worse than the other ones here. Link to post Share on other sites
Sh0ty Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I can get mine to a perfect finish, but what do you guys seal your polish jobs with? I need to re-do mine every month or so. -Sh0ty Link to post Share on other sites

doopydoo Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Polish? What? No no, I wasn't going for that mirrored look. I wanted brushed steel. What I did was take out all the guts, grind down all the paint with 120 grit sandpaper(would've used grittier if I had to do it again) and then went over it again with 150 grit. I tried to make all the 'grain' going in the same direction, but it's impossible. I had to wash it a few times and sand it finer each time. And even when it was washed all the way there sounded like there was gunk in the rails, so I used a Q-tip(more like 10) and some silicon oil to clean it out. Link to post Share on other sites
dhunt2299 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 yes I also have done this a while back and came out like everyone elses. It's really not that smart of a move in my opinion. I think that if you want a really nice silver slide it should be anodized. And that's what I did. I took a G&G slide and had someone strip it, and then put a clear anodized coat on. And it really looks nice + you don't loose the trades. Just my opinion though. Link to post Share on other sites
doopydoo Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Why does everyone think mirrored is better than brushed? It smudges and scratches way too easily... But I was forced to do it, I accidently (that means I was incredibly stupid) started whittling at the orange tip, and it looked like ######. Link to post Share on other sites
dhunt2299 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I don't think everyone thinks mirrored is better - it's not. (that's a fact) haha Anyway, not too bad considering your options. But for future reference, if you want a nice silver slide just break down and spend the bucks for a professional to plate/anodize one or buy SD or someone else. Link to post Share on other sites
stevorob Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Anodizing would definitely be a better solution for a dull silver color. Using sandpaper and polish just won't get it done quite like that. For my silver, I just sanded it down with some rough grit paper to remove all the paint, and used an 800 or 1000 grit to smooth it out, then used toothpaste as a polish. It wasn't a mirror finish, but it was a "shiny" silver. Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 its all about how many different levels of sand paper you used, and how fine it ends up being. As I said I polished my outer barrel with 5 grades from 1-200 ish to 1000, then hit it with Mothers. It ends up being mirror-like, but I did my slide only with 3 grades up to 800 and it ends up looking like stainless steel appliance kind of finish....Mothers generally just make it shinier. I am experimenting with automotive clear coats to see if it works with my slide, so far not very well... Link to post Share on other sites

And even when it was washed all the way there sounded like there was gunk in the rails, so I used a Q-tip(more like 10) and some silicon oil to clean it out. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The grained look you want can be done by clamping the slide to a flat surface, then clamping an angled bar parallel to the direction you want the grain to go. Stick the sandpaper (I used 800 for the grain without water) to a flat block (which needs to be longer than the slide) and keep it against the angled bar as you move it along the slide with gentle pressure. Every 10 strokes or so, stop and carefully lift the block straight up off the slide to avoid extraneous scratches and brush off the dust from the sandpaper with a toothbrush, then repeat until the grain becomes uniform. Finally use a fine metal polish with non-lint cloth to smooth the surface to a sheen (don't overdo it). Not a great photo but if you look carefully the grain on the curved edges are perpendicular to the flat surfaces, this was done by lapping the sandpaper block across the curves. You need to do the curves first, then the flat surfaces. Cover the finished areas with selotape, then masking tape on top to protect them as you work on other surfaces. I store the gun in a thin plastic bag that's been sprayed inside with silicone to stop the surface from tarnishing. Chris. Edited January 18, 2007 by Cerebus Link to post Share on other sites
Danjoswal Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Am i the only person who thinks the glock 17 is the best out of all of them? It's such a masculine looking gun. why does everyone like the 19? I'm waiting for my ksc glock 17 to arrive through the post, does the plastic slide look bad? i dont think im gonna get a metal slide but if the plastic one is balls then i guess i will.

dhunt2299 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 the 17 feels like a squirt gun compared to the 19. (IMO) Link to post Share on other sites
stevorob Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I find that the compact frames are easier to handle. Shot a real steel 21, and it just felt like such a large gun... didn't have the control that I have with a 19. I guess it could be a difference in the .45 to the 9mm.

Danjoswal Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 fair enough, ive got massive hands so the 19 would be to small. the 17 is only just big enough! i got it through the post this morning! Link to post Share on other sites
