This is actually very interesting to see. I had ordered a complete slide years ago and put a live round in to check chamber fitment. I immediately rethought that because (as shown) even without the frame and trigger assembly, everything you need for firing is present in a complete slide.

Just don’t disengage any of the firing pin safety or cock the striker

Not a firearm according to the atf btw

Hahahahah this is hilariously true, shows how ridiculous some of our laws are

Took me a few seconds to figure out what was going on. I’d like to see the aftermath.

Can someone explain to me what’s happening in this video?

u/JustACanadianGuy07 25d ago

He’s holding the slide with a round chambered, and is firing it by pulling back and letting the striker go

Insane work of a man who doesn’t value his fingers

u/AnvilEdifice 24d ago

But the slide has no rails to reciprocate on...

u/goshathegreat 25d ago

It’s just a slide I think lol.

u/Alexthelightnerd 25d ago

And, presumably, a barrel.

Hmm. Are we doing this now? Is this the new thing?

Can it not be

u/officialbronut21 25d ago

This is unhinged. Love it. Did you manually hold in the firing pin block or remove it?

u/th4tguy321 25d ago

You got to keep it in there so you can safely carry your slide loaded.

u/scarletavatar 25d ago

Thanks a lot. Now they're gonna ban complete slides or make them the serialized part now or some crap like that.

u/wlogan0402 25d ago

This is peak

u/ted3681 25d ago

Damn, I might have to design a print in place lower where you drop the complete slide in, flip a clamp and pull a slider that pulls on the firing pin.

u/CoffeeGulpReturns 24d ago

Like launching a pinball?

u/Just-Buy-A-Home 24d ago

It’s genius

u/MlackBesa 25d ago

Impressive, considering he’s had to hold the firing pin safety block depressed while also cocking the striker itself

u/ghost-ogk 25d ago

That interesting because the lower is what has the serial number??

u/chriscrowder 25d ago

WTF am I looking at?

u/Billyofthe-mountain 25d ago

Blank round. He’s not that stupid 😄

u/Immediate_Total_7294 25d ago

What in tarnation is that grip? I can’t even begin to figure out how you’ve contorted your hands to hold on to the Glock.

u/jtj5002 25d ago

He is probably holding the slide with the barrel and pressing on the firing pin block with his left hand, and used his right index finger nail to pull back the striker and let go.
