Frequently Asked Questions

What is the trigger pull weight on an NYPD Glock 17 Gen 3?

The NYPD Glock 17 Gen 3 featured in the video has a 12lb trigger pull weight, specifically the NY2 orange spring variant, which is significantly heavier than standard civilian triggers and designed for enhanced safety.

How does a compensator affect recoil on a Glock?

A compensator, like the Radian Afterburner, vents propellant gases upwards to counteract muzzle rise, significantly reducing felt recoil and allowing for faster, flatter follow-up shots compared to a non-compensated firearm.

What ammunition is best for a Glock with a compensator?

Firearms equipped with compensators generally perform best with hotter, defensive ammunition that has a higher power factor. Lighter range ammunition may not provide enough energy for reliable slide cycling, potentially causing ejection port issues.

What's the difference between a standard Glock and a 'Gucci Glock'?

A 'Gucci Glock' typically refers to a highly customized firearm with aftermarket parts like upgraded frames, slides, optics, and compensators, aiming for enhanced performance and aesthetics, whereas a standard Glock is a reliable, factory-produced firearm.
