I've been meaning to snag one of these.

The slide lock is the angled plate in the frame that the barrel (and slide) lock to when the pistol is in battery. My MGSL locks the barrel into the same position everytime the slide cycles, thereby increasing accuracy.

Is this basically eliminating the slide to frame up and down movement ? Like a AR 15 Accuwedge .

I don't necessarily doubt the claims of 60-75% accuracy improvement but I have to ask - if this simple tweak can truly improve accuracy to such a tremendous degree, why wouldn't Glock make this tweak themselves? Either the claims are inaccurate or there are downsides...

No. It restricts barrel movement within a certain tolerance range. Almost like a oversized barrel link in a 1911.

Austinguy - I don't claim a 60-75% accuracy improvement for my MGSL. I do claim a 7-35% improvement, depending on caliber.

Understood. I was referring to the gent earlier in the thread who commented on his experience.

Just out of my curiosity though, why do you suppose Glock doesn't manufacture their stock firearm in this way? It would probably be no more expensive for them to produce (particularly at their mass production level). The Gen 4 roll-out would have been the perfect opportunity.

I think any firearm manufacturer would absolutely pounce on the opportunity to tweak one part for a 7-35% improvement in accuracy if no negative downsides such as loss of reliability were a consideration.

Again, I'm not knocking your product as your customers seem highly impressed by it. It just doesn't add up for me if there are no downsides to it...

There are no downsides, Austinguy. I know, it seems hard to believe as I'm often a skeptic like you. But try one... they work as claimed with no ill effects whatsoever. I find them especially beneficial in my .40 cal Glocks.

Mr. Graham makes a great product, indeed.

I think I'm going to get some extras just for the glock pistols I plan on getting later this year.

The "downside" to my MGSL is also the answer to your question, Austinguy. The Glock pistol was designed to be fast to manufacture - notice I stated "fast", not cheap. The is nothing cheap about the pistol. The stock stamped and painted steel slide lock is perfectly adequate and more than sufficiantly strong for what it does - holding the slide, barrel and recoil spring onto the frame. On the other hand, my MGSL is laser cut out of O1 bar stock steel, surface ground, mill cut, heat treated, gaged, inspected, and finished. It is a surprisingly labor-intensive part to make, far too expensive and time consuming for Glock to do for such a small part. Now, I'm sure Glock could do this if they wished...but I really hope they don't, as I hold a patent on my MGSL.

Very smart there sir! A patent says it all!

[jpeto]

Not sure if this was asked already or not but will it work on the Glock 36.

Negative.

[RS7]

Could someone post a pic?

[recon]

Is he still making these?

[T. R. Graham]

Thank you for your interest in my MGSL, however I have stopped production at this time due to a change in Glock's heat treatment of barrels. Until the redesigned MGSL has been thoughly tested to be compatible with this change I have suspended all sales.

T.R. let use know because I need 2 of your fine MGSL's Thanks satisfied customer SJ 40

Also like the angle of the serrations on the MGSL. Better angle than the factory one. Always kills my fingers trying to use it.

[recon]

So when did they change the process of the heat treatment of barrels?
