LWS Tomahawk! The Gucciest EDC Glock!? With Port Testing You’ve Never Seen Before!

Published on October 24, 2025
Duration: 14:38

This video provides a practical, albeit intense, test of a Landers Weapon Systems (LWS) Tomahawk, a highly customized Glock, focusing on its unique porting. The presenter conducts a comparative test of ported, compensated, and standard firearms fired from within an enclosed space to evaluate concussive force and shrapnel effects. The findings suggest that while ported firearms offer recoil reduction, they pose a significant risk of painful shrapnel in confined defensive scenarios.

Quick Summary

Testing reveals that aggressively ported firearms like the LWS Tomahawk can produce painful shrapnel and excessive flash when fired in enclosed spaces, posing a risk for concealed carry in such environments. Compensated firearms generally offer a safer alternative in these specific scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main concerns with ported firearms for concealed carry?

The primary concerns with ported firearms for concealed carry revolve around the concussive force and potential for shrapnel ejected from the ports. In enclosed spaces, this can lead to painful injuries, especially to the face and eyes, making them potentially less suitable for defensive use in such environments.

How does the LWS Tomahawk's porting compare to a compensated Glock in an enclosed space?

Testing shows the LWS Tomahawk's aggressive porting produces significantly more painful shrapnel and flash in an enclosed space compared to a compensated Glock (like one with a Ramjet comp). While both reduce recoil, the ported design poses a greater risk of injury in confined scenarios.

What makes the LWS Tomahawk a 'Gucci Glock'?

The LWS Tomahawk is considered a 'Gucci Glock' due to its extensive customization, including aggressive multi-level slide serrations, a very low RMR cut for optimal co-witness, unique and balanced stippling on the frame, and striking porting on the slide and barrel.

Is the LWS Tomahawk suitable for concealed carry despite its porting?

While the LWS Tomahawk offers excellent shootability and a compact footprint, its aggressive porting presents a significant risk of injury from shrapnel in enclosed spaces. The presenter still carries it but acknowledges this specific drawback for certain defensive scenarios.
