| ---SLIDE LIGHTENING--- SLIDES LIGHTENED WILL CYCLE FASTER AND GIVES FASTER SIGHT ACQUISITION. OPEN GUNS WITH COMPENSATORS OR SLIDE MOUNTED SIGHTS BENEFIT THE MOST. IT ALLOWS THE SLIDE TO CYCLE THE COMPLETE DISTANCE RATHER THAN SHORT STROKING AND THE ROUND JUST BARELY HITTING THE EJECTOR. THIS GIVES MORE RELIABLE EJECTION. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO USE A HEAVIER RECOIL SPRING WHICH WILL STRIP THE ROUNDS FROM THE MAG BETTER. YOU WILL SPEND LESS TIME WITH THE MUZZLE FLIPPED UPWARDS. THE NEGATIVE SIDE IS THAT YOU WILL FEEL A BIT MORE RECOIL SINCE THE SLIDE HAS LESS WEIGHT TO ABSORB IT. BOTTOM LINE- FASTER CYCLING AND LESS FLIP WITH A BIT MORE FELT RECOIL. MOST SLIDES START OUT AT ABOUT 13 OUNCES BARE. OPEN GUNS RUNNING 170PF WILL BE A BIT SLUGGISH WHEN OVER 12OUNCES. SLIDES 10.5OZ. - 11OZ. ARE OK WITH MID SIZE COMPS. SLIDES 10OZ. OR LESS ALLOW USE OF THE MORE EFFICIENT COMPS. |
