did this for a buddy of mine today. i think it came out pretty good
Gunsmithing Did some work on a glock today

Very cool, would love that on my Glock!
send it on over would be glad to do another one
Sweet! Looks hard on holsters though.
i could easily dehorn it and it wouldn't be hard on a holster at all..
the dot is very bright really easy to see. also have had a couple of people ask about doing this to theirs as well. i can do this for others just pm me for details
How hard was that Glock slide to machine?

it wasnt too bad. standard carbide endmills had no problem
its what the customer wanted.. just used a standard 1/4 ball endmill for the ports
That's beautiful work, after drilling the barrel, how did you de-burr the holes in the tube? I'm just curious. Also, I thought that Glocks were Melonite treated, or something similar, so hard in fact a diamond couldn't scratch em, I guess based on this beautiful workmanship, that myth has been shot to hell!
the way I ported the barrel I used a very small endmill and interpolated the hole so the spiral of the endmill pulls what burr there would be into the cut leaving an almost burr free surface
Good question. It would have been cool to see a before & after video of muzzle rise/recoil. I wouldn't think accuracy would be effected but that is pure S.W.A.G.
OP- That work does look bad ass.

OK here is the scoop. $100 gets you the slide cuts and the ports in the barrel. Add $50 for the scallops and another $50 for the c-more cut. If you want refinishing there are two options first is parkerize for $50 and Duracoat for $75. I never shot it before the work so I honestly can't say if it helped but it does feel light on recoil for a .40 and accuracy is still there. Hope this answers all the questions. Also I will try and get some pics on the frame. This thing has so much crap bolted on it is the reason I just put a pic of the slide
Oh yeah and turn around time is 2 weeks
on frame pictures
It looks as though you have about one inch of barrel before the first port. While it may look interesting, the amount of velocity lost on porting more than half of the barrel length may have great impact on the effectiveness of the round. It may have gone to an instant 9mm or less in performance and many may want to see some chrono numbers between the ported and regular stock barrel to see just how bad the reduction might be.
You weren't lying! Reminds me of those pics of AR15's with 52 accessories bolted to the handguard.
I am wondering the same thing about the energy lost. It still looks cool. I am guessing with all that crap on the gun it is nothing more than a show off gun, I doubt it is used for CCW. I guess worst case scenario if the bullet does not have any energy to penetrate he can blind him with the laser and light.
dont think this thing has ever seen a holster and i know the customer does not care the slightest about lost velocity if there is any it is purely for looks with this guy. he just wanted something other than a factory glock.
Any other range reports, ect on this from guys that have had it done?
I am looking to get an RMR melted into a Glock slide and keep iron sights on the slide.
How deep can you melt in and keep the slide integrity?
What would be the ballpark cost for the milling and tapping?

range report came in good. felt recoil was reduced and functioned flawlessly.
as far as mounting an rmr i can go pretty deep without risking integrity its hard to tell by the picture but i went to the bottom of the radius cut on the top of the slide cant go much past that

Here is a pic of one with just the ports.
And hopefully this works.
