This video from PSR pits various Glock configurations against each other in a 'Blicky Olympics' speed test. It compares standard semi-auto, a Franklin Armory G-S173 binary trigger, an aftermarket full-auto switch, and the factory Glock 18C. The expert instructor highlights the surprising results, with the aftermarket switch and factory 18C achieving the fastest times, while the binary trigger was slower than expected. The evaluation also includes a tactical drive-by simulation.

Quick Summary

The fastest Glock configurations for emptying a 17-round magazine were the aftermarket full-auto sear (switch) at 1.23 seconds and the factory Glock 18C at 1.27 seconds. A binary trigger setup was surprisingly slower than standard semi-auto due to trigger control issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Glock switch is the fastest?

In the 'Blicky Olympics' speed test, both the aftermarket full-auto sear (switch) and the factory Glock 18C machine pistol were the fastest, emptying a 17-round magazine in approximately 1.23-1.27 seconds. This significantly outpaced the standard semi-auto and binary trigger configurations.

How does a binary trigger compare to a full-auto switch on a Glock?

A binary trigger fires on both the pull and release, but in testing, it was slower (4.03 seconds for 17 rounds) than a standard semi-auto (3.57 seconds) due to trigger feel. A full-auto switch, however, allows for true machine gun fire and achieved much faster times (1.23 seconds).

What is the Glock 18C's rate of fire?

The factory Glock 18C machine pistol can empty a 17-round magazine in approximately 1.27 seconds. The video host mentioned a previous record of 0.93 seconds for this specific firearm, indicating its high rate of fire.

Are full-auto Glock switches legal?

Full-auto conversion devices, often called 'switches,' are regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA). Possession and use require compliance with federal laws, including registration, tax payment, and background checks, making them highly restricted items.
