Looking for recommendations for G48 bob cut including black nitride refinish.

Bob cut ???

 

[tomrkba]

…probably cutting the grip shorter to G43 length.

a 43X/48 mag doesn't work in a 43, what mag are you planning to use, I don't think a 43 mag work in a bobbed 48, I'd be sure it does before I broke out the Dremel.

what mag are you planning to use, will a 43 mag work in a bobbed 48?

Guys, a bob cut is an angle cut at the end of the slide in the inferior part. I can’t post a photo but hope this description helps.

What in the heck are y'all talking about. The inferior end of the slide? What???
This is a bobcut. Why anyone would want to do this to a Glock is beyond me.

Yeah he's got me stumped on this one also...but it is easy to do the older i get

O.K., we all had a different definition (older) of "bob cut", having the grip frame cut, I think this is what is meant by bob cut now

an angled cut at the front, lower, hollow section of a longer slide that uses a shorter RSA.

Oh! THAT “Bob-cut”…

hacksaw
Nail file
Sharpie

Just try not to crush the front sight in the vise and go slow. Don’t want to mess it up.



😬

(sorry, couldn’t resist. Looks pretty simple for a competent gunsmith to do, have you looked around locally?)

What exactly is the purpose of that? So that it looks more tac-ti-cool? Why not just get a G43X? Or do you really think that an extra 1/2 inch of barrel really gives you more velocity? An INCH of barrel might make a difference of 50 fps. but a half inch might only make a difference of 25 fps and the difference from one same length barrel to another that came off the same assembly line on the same day can have more of a difference than that.

And "Sight Radius" is an equally insignificant difference considering how many people shoot a G26 better than a G19 or G17 or shoot a G19 better than a G17.

G48 barrel length: 106 mm | 4.17 inch G43x barrel length: 86.5 mm | 3.41 inch = About 5/8ths of an inch difference. Whoop-de-doo! --In my opinion, not worth the trade-off for a less concealable gun and all the extra work of modifying the longer slide unless your top priority is making your toy look "More Cool"

If your Glock gets a bobcut, will it want to talk to the manager?

Apparently I'm one of the few that sight radius matters. I shoot my G19 better than any G26 I've ever owned, even with extended magazines to get a full grip. I have a G43 and can shoot that well, but my G48 I shoot much better. I don't know if it's because of the grip difference between the G48 vs G43.

For me, it was a no brainer since I already have a G43, I got the G48 and can swap the top ends to make a G43X or G48L (long slide) if I want.

Why???? 🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

 

[VTEC214]

Try Hex Precision, they do good work and quick turnaround times.

Maybe ask this guy?

Bob, he's the Mohel with the shaky hand.

Other than losing a little weight, what would be the purpose of something like that?

That's a "Karen" cut, not a bob cut.....
