Norsso glock slides ?

[BMF JK]

Anyone hear anything about these guys or have a slide from them ? I’m specifically looking at their G19 reptile ported slide with a RMR cut .

I’ve looked all over for reviews and all I’ve found was a couple reviews from tactical toolbox. Their slides look badass and are reasonably priced.

 

[Saltwater60]

Looks good!! Don’t know anything about them though.

 

[Phazer]

Cool. But those slides cost almost as much as an entire stock pistol.

That's were most of the cost of the gun is.

Hell I can get a stripped g43 lower for like $40-50 and maybe another 70 for the lower parts kit. But then the price is in the slide and barrel (mostly slide) add onto that the extra machining of the windows and RMR cut

I follow them on Instagram and like their cuts. I am a little worried about how aggressive the cut is. It might be a non issue or it might tear everything up. As far as quality I think they are on par with every other aftermarket slide manufacture.

I’m thinking those aggressive cuts would aid in one handed manipulation off someone’s forehead if necessary. Lol

@Edwardteach72 do you have source for G19 oem frames ? I’ve searched and all online sites I’ve found are always out of stock .
I’m considering buying a complete stock G19 then swap parts out as I get them , then I could always go back to stock if need be .

The best place I've been able to find that has any consistency (especially for gen 4 and now gen 5) would be Big Tex Outdoors but they sell out pretty much the day they get in stock. Stipped 19s sell the fastest.

But I just got my stripped 17 frame from them today. They got in stock Sunday at some point I believe I got the notification email Monday and was able to get the 2nd to last one on monday

 

[BMF JK]

I’ll have to set up a notification with them . Every time I’ve checked their site the gen 4s are out of stock . Thanks !!

Yea its because glock doesnt sell just frames to anyone, and so how these guys get them is buy a whole gun then part it out, that's how you can get OEM frames and barrels.

Downside is all the parts sell slower than the frames so they will usually wait until they need the other stuff before parting out more full guns (or so that's how my hypothesis goes based on talking with glock themselves and seeing how often anyone has any in stock)

I would say your hypothesis is spot on . It would explain the rather popular after market Glock frames .

 

[Edwardteach72]

@BMF JK I just wish polymer80 would make a gen 4 compatible 80%.


With that being said if you ever do anything with a current frame that you have and say you fuck it up, for $100+tax and shipping you can send the frame back to glock and in about 2 weeks you will get a replacement frame

I agree it would help with all of that. I'm wondering on normal usage if it would be too much. I want to handle one badly. I still think my next one will be from these guys. Dynamic Weapon Solutions

DWS was another i was considering. They make some sweet looking slides .

Hey @Edwardteach72 I just happened to notice your CZ on the edc thread , sick by the way !! My question for ya is how do you like the rear sight set forward of the RMR ? I do understand the purpose one focal plain as opposed to multi plains . Is it significantly easier to focus on the target while placing the dot on target with that setup ? I’m about to order the norsso slide but trying to decide in the front or in the back ... the sight that is .
After a few financial setbacks errr responsibilities, I’m finally ready to get this venture into the custom cut slide with RMR thing .

Thanks and I love irons forward I really wish I did that with my Glock 19 instead of irons rear

 

[Edwardteach72]

I have some mediocre pictures showing the sight picture between irons forward and irons rear I took burried in my phone somewhere I will find them and post them up.

Neither way is wrong, it really is a personal preference thing, the one and only downside to irons forward is it's pretty much a red dot only gun. You can take the red dot off and just use irons but you are now handicapping yourself with less sight radius

 

[Edwardteach72]

Ok so again sorry about the bad picture quality.

Trying to do this with my cell phone in my hand kinda sucks lol

First up is the Irons infront of the RMR (on the CZ)

Next is Irons behind the RMR (Glock)

Thank you sir ! Thats actually a great comparison , you can see how your eye would focus on the rear sight if positioned behind the rmr . Which is not what you want .
Thanks again

 

[BMF JK]

This is a vid I’m kinda going by , seems legit .

 

[MilesTeg]

For what its worth I've only handled the front iron mounted setups and not shot them. But I like the sight picture of the rear mounted ones better.

AARON Cowan is the man when it comes to handgun red dots..

I have a thread about well red dots on handguns and k there I posted his white paper.

Not sure how technical you want to dig down into why red dots are the tits but I'll post the link to that "paper" there is so much information in it

 

[Edwardteach72]

Here is the most recent updated version.

Aaron updates this periodically when new information is available and updates the dots he is durability testing.. either with updated roundcounts or that they have finally failed..

Thanks for the info . I’ve seen his testing vids , he thoroughly beats the shit outta red dots in a realistic way .

Yea he does, but he also does it as consistent as possible
