What do Glock Slide Cuts Do?
Posted by ShaloTek on Apr 19th 2022
Glock pistols are well known for their reliability. One of the features that sets Glocks apart from other guns is the number of available slide cuts for different models. Also known as Glock slide milling, Glock slide cuts have several great benefits. In this article, we will take a look at how Glock slide cuts benefit you and your firearm.
What are Glock Slide Cuts?
Glock slide cuts refer to the various ways the top of the Glock slide can be milled or cut. These cuts can be functional, such as providing a better grip for racking the slide, or aesthetic, like adding serrations for a more aggressive look. There are many different types of Glock slide cuts available from Shalo Tek.
Benefits of Slide Cuts
There are several benefits that come with having Glock slide cuts done to your firearm. First, slide cuts can provide a better grip when racking the slide. This is especially helpful if you have sweaty hands or are shooting in adverse conditions. Secondly, Glock slide cuts can help reduce weight. This can be beneficial if you are using your gun for competition shooting where every ounce counts. Finally, Glock slide cuts can simply make your gun look better. This is a purely aesthetic benefit, but it’s important for many firearm owners.
