Was recently issued a G45MOS equipped with an ACRO P2 sight for work. I've mentioned previously, that while I don't like Glocks (like I don't like sauerkraut and pork-rib MRE's), they are perfectly serviceable weapons. While I still don't "like" them, I cannot deny that I am impressed with the short slide/full-sized grip concept that Glock came up with.
With a red-dot, this thing is fast. Shorter slide, less reciprocating mass. If you hold it right, it stays on target. Much prefer to both the G17 or G34 in terms of the way it shoots. With a red-dot, sight radius is superfluous and unless you are shooting really long ranges, velocity isn't that far off. Darned thing gives my Shadow a run for the money. Took it to a local 2-gun steel match this weekend and shot really well. Not many people showed up, but I was able to win the match by 30 seconds....
Got me to thinking about putting a P10C slide on a P10F frame. Sure, I can send the P10F Slide off for lightening, but then I have to start tinkering around with spring rates. The dust cover would be too long unless you bob'd it but PSA has OR P10C's on sale for less than $400. Can't buy a slide for that! With the 20+1 capacity, the P10F frame beats the G45's 17+1 capacity.
Curious if anyone has tried it? Barrel lock/feed ramps should be the same for both.
