An integral disconnector tilts the trigger bar downward as the firing pin reaches the end of its journey, which in turn releases the striker and fires the cartridge. This striker firing mechanism involves using a spring-loaded firing pin with a dual-stage cocking system. If you can imagine a Glock 17 with a fully automatic firing capability, then you’ve essentially imagined the Glock 18. This pistol may be difficult for civilians to buy under current Federal gun laws, but it’s still a neat gun to think about. Aside from the RMR mounted on the slide, the most notable feature of this pistol is the unique slide serrations. Between the rear of the ejection port and the sight, the slide takes a rectangular pattern and is hollowed out. Experienced shooters realize plastic guide rods can chip, crack or break resulting in feeding or ejection failures and guide rod flex can contribute to accuracy problems. The full-auto firing mode of the firearm can be handful even for experienced shooters. Four compensator slots, increasingly larger as they move from rear to front, are situated to vent gas upwards through a small keyhole shaped opening, which pushes the barrel downwards during full-auto bursts.

Referred to as a camming action,  [[https://pintorange8.tumblr.com/post/655154979555966976/ten-ideas-for-glock-compensator|https://pintorange8.tumblr.com/post/655154979555966976/ten-ideas-for-glock-compensator]] this stops the movment of the barrel while the slide continues to move backward from the force of the recoil, disengaging and finally ejecting the used cartridge casing. However, with this sight the testing Glock 18 again developed the issue of not being able to fire full-auto while the suppressor and Lasermax recoil spring assembly were employed. While the gun managed perfectly when firing in semi-auto mode with the suppressor attached, if it was switched to full-auto it would still function as if in semit-auto mode. There are ways of controlling the pistol that you should learn first that concern grip and stance to ensure accurate aim and firing. This is the first compensator I've had so can't compare to normal thread on comps but I love this thing! The first position, half-cock, is set in place when the pistol is charged. The 18C is basically a full-auto version of the Glock 17C pistol. After this, the testing pistol functioned perfectly and quietly in full-auto mode. One major disadvantage discovered in the Glock design is that the option of an integral laser sight pistol grip is unavailable unless attached with an obstructive add-on. When the barrel pressure decreases to safer levels and the bullet has left the barrel, the barrel and slide unlock as a ramped lug extension at the base of the barrel and a tapered locking block which is integral to the frame act on each other, pushing the barrel downward.

It’s locking mechanism has a link-less, vertically tilted barrel with a rectangular breech that locks securely into the slide. Glock refers to this pre-set trigger mechanism as the Safe Action trigger. The firing mechanism is also incredibly intricate and unique. It finally resets to half-cock position at the conclusion of the firing circuit as the disconnector resets the trigger bar. A new spring assembly didn’t necessarily succeed in fixing the single-action firing mode - a sore point for many GLOCK users. Even swapping the original spring out and introducing a lighter 15lb spring didn’t solve the issue. Zev Technologies brings more accessories to the Glock fandom, introducing the new Pro Compensator built specifically for 9mm Glock pistols. The Glock 18 was put through SAR testing and evaluation, where hundreds and hundreds of 9mm hollow-point rouds with full metal jacketed cartridges from a wide variety of different manufacturers were fired and examined.

Eventually, the problem was solved by using a heavier 22lb Wolff spring. The Glock 18 was tested with suppression as well, using a threaded barrel. How Do I Buy a Glock 18? Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to buy the Clock 18 legally as a civilian. Having not fired the compensated Glock 18C model, it’s impossible to say exactly how much the version counteracts muzzle climb and increases control. This is definitely the Glock 19X You Actually Wanted. Instead of utilizing the conventional hammer, the Glock is designed to use a striker. Pulling the trigger then fully cocks the striker as the round is prepared to fire. P4 also added medium texture to the front and backstraps of the frame, as well as a double undercut to the trigger guard. By keeping your aim towards the lower mid-point of a humanoid target, it can be easy to place three, or even four, round bursts on it with a bit of added leaning into the shots on your part.
