glock chop

[Cooper]

I'll let the pictures do the talking, they can explain the process better than I can.

We started this project with a beater glock 22 police trade in, This has been one of our "beaters" for a while. You know, the type of glock that you throw down range or shoot at to piss off the glock fan boys :lol: glock hat, shirt, range bag, lanyard, tattoo........pocket protector, bumper sticker.... you know the type. Great office manager, not so good soldier of fortune......

Cooper cheers for the pic's eh ,

now i aint a glock person, try to dodge them in fact ,

some folks like em , cops here carry em , free world

but i miss the point so i'll ask you to explain

is this for another .22 mag adaption or is there another purpose ?

sorry for being a bit thick on it , i love playing and making guns

but am missing the point a bit , sorry eh

cheers

not sure but seems he just used this as a way to ask for help getting his work area cleaned and organised!! even i wouldn't know where to start!! maybe a bobcat to clear it out first??

[Double D]

I know, I know! This is a thread showing how to waste time!

[jack404]

now now, be nice , i just wanna know

[focusmaniaczx3]

im pretty sure that the entire purpose was to cut it down to sub-compact length on the handle. basically make the handle end short for easier concealability? i guess. i dunno. that doesnt really make sense to me why you would do that though. that is sacrilege right there.

They were my late grand fathers. That "work area" is pretty much junk storage right now. It used to be a finished basement, we started a remodel then my grand father died and grandmother got alzhimers and moved in with us. We had to clean her house out to rent it. We tossed out what we could but alot of stuff ended up in the basement. Slowly sorting it all but it takes time.

No excuse for the bench except lazyness, its where everything gets tossed.

ANYWAY.....It's not like it's a foreign concept.

It's to make the pistol more concealable. The full size slide provides a longer sight radius, slower cycling speeds, and makes the pistol able to accept any .40 cal Glock mag I can lay my hands on. It's the grip that prints, not the size of the slide. I could do the same chop to a 17L and I could still conceal it IWB just as well as the 26 or 27. There is NO downside to a chop unless you're anally concerned about capacity and even then you can ALWAYS keep glock 22 mags as your spare mags.

I can wear this pistol IWB and not print even with a tight shirt using glock 27 mags.

I got some range time this morning with this pistol and my 27, its hands down a better pistol.

People cut these guns down all the time, this is nothing new, google it......

Aside from the fact that glocks are ugly (in my opinion) why all the hatred for them? They go bang when you pull the trigger, and seem to be reasonably accurate. IS it the gun itself, their owners, or something else?

Yes

[Wolf 5.7]

lol.

[Cooper]

A glock is good at what it does, there tough and dead reliable.

I believe alot of the glock haters truly want one but cant afford one

[jack404]

Cheers for the info cooper , learned something there eh ,

my dislike for glocks comes from a dislike of plastics as a material for guns other than in incidental roles ( grips , stocks etc) , thats all .. i like the designs, they function as spece'd but when they start playing up and its not a metal item , throw it away , you'll just be fixing it over and over , the MGB of the handgun world ... that said i've had 2 MG's so wont bag anyone for choosing a glock , just would not really choose one for me .. at least the MG's where metal ..

and yes they are not the first late 70's POS they used to be , but my concern about plastics stays , sorry all brands not just Glock ..

[woolleyworm]

Although not a fan of Glocks, I do appreciate the detailed pics and info on what you're doing. Good stuff to know if you're a Glock fan. The only thing I'd recommend is putting it in the vise instead of your left hand while doing the knife trimming; probably steadier and safer.

Kudos,

Woolley

I dont think a glock is compairable with a MG. I was a BMW tech for years and worked on my share of MG's that came through the dealer. tempermental little cars.

A glock is one TOUGH pistol, the chop glock has been shot 3 times with a .22 once in the frame. Weve even shot a 19 with a 10mm and it STILL functioned. A friend of mine shot one several times with a 12g and once with a 7.62x39. The x39 round hit the barrel and cracked it along with breaking the trigger. They replaced the trigger and the barrel and the gun ran FINE, no damage to the frame. We run out glocks HARD and only had one fail because of dirt, We urinated on it and it functioned fine after it was "washed" out.

I've got videos on youtube that would make a glock purist cry.

Besides a occasional KABOOM(usually related to unspported barrels in the 40 with the use of reloads) I've never seen a glock fail.

IF you destroy your frame somehow you can send the pistol to glock and they will replace your frame and upgrade it to the newest model.

I'm not a huge glock fan boy, I think there ugly and they lack the class of something like a 1911. I carry them inplace of my old 1911's because IMHO its a much safer pistol to carry.

How common are glocks down there?

Standing or Squating?

It was a glock 34, it got so much dirt in the opening of the slide that it jammed after every shot.

Well i've never beat the snot out of a handgun on purpose or did mods like you did i liked the pics and the fact it still works.I'm not a Glock fanatic but gotta say the fact it's still working says something about it.

[Cooper]

We've only had 2 failures, not 1, I forgot about the second until I was talking to my buddy today.

Once the 19 got hit right on the left side of the barrel where it meets the reciever with a 9mm, viewable in the second to last video. Lead got pushed down the crack and we had to beat the gun open on the ground (did not video tape that part, sometimes we forget and miss the best parts), it jammed twice right after that but then ran fine for the rest of the day once the lead was out of its system.

The other was that 34, to much dirt got in the open slide and caused it to jam. I have the before videos and the after but none of us had any loaded mags where we were standing at the time. It would have been much better to watch it jam several times, get taken down, pissed on, then firing perfectly. It was really impressive.

Right now there's glock burried in a spring out back, its been under mud/water for 3 years now. After its been under for 5 years it will be washed off and fired on the spot. With lack of o2 I suspect rust is minimal and the springs should be fine.

[CampingJosh]

Quite the torture test! Are you connected with Glock in some way? Or, said better, are they paying for the guns that you're testing?

I've always wondered why the slide & barrel, which run inside my pants down my leg, would need to be shortened for easier concealment. I know there are some carry methods with which a shortened overall length would be helpful, but I personally am a fan of a longer sight radius.

[Cooper]

Nope, the glocks are paid for out of pocket, I am not connected with glock in any way.

I can tuck that chopped glock just as easily as I can a g27... I think it was worth it.
