I’m with you on the arthritis as I have it in both thumbs. It can be a painful operation just racking the slide because of the arthritis. Been thinking about picking up a 43x real soon. Might have to put on one of these plates.
Not sure what it is, but I agree. No interest in this product but I said what the hell and watched the whole thing. But I did learn about the difference between Red and Blue loctite.
Lenny, love this new MOS offering from the GS! We did exactly what you said and visited you the last week in February for some shooting time at Range #2 and the recommendations and expertise advice I received from Patrick on my purchase, I couldn't have gotten anywhere else. GS is my new go-to for ALL my Glock needs and accessories!
I went to the range again yesterday..... finally and had a lot of fun shooting..... I noticed racking the slide on my Glock 26 was stiffer than before..... but you know as you age, and I'm 70 now..... somehow your hand strength goes down as your age goes up.... if I had an MOS Glock now I know where to buy a useful optic cover
We sure miss you here in San Diego Lenny. What a loss for the guns and shooting community here in San Diego when you decided to move to Tennessee. But we sure understand and don’t blame you one bit for moving out of the most miserable anti gun state in the entire country bar none. Just thankful we can still access you and your great store on line. I hope the gun community in Tennessee appreciates what they have in you, your employees and your store. Keep up the great work Lenny and all the best to you and your family.
@@dgarf29 Roger that bro. Me and my family are getting out of here very soon. We have lived here our entire lives, over 70 years, and we just can’t take it anymore. The Democrats have destroyed this once greatest state in the country. The place is unlivable anymore for the average person. Moving to a free Red state by the end of the summer. Leaving many great friends behind, but we are getting out of here before this place totally implodes and that day isn’t far off.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!! Lenny My husband has lose massive strength in his hands and your technique of holding and pushing works wonders. He was so upset that he couldn’t rack is 45. But now he can! Thanks again
I watched as my Grandfather gradually lost his ability to easily rack his 1911. I took that and gave him a S&W 686. He’s since passed but I witnessed the frustration he experienced. It’s sad to read some of the ridiculous comments.
Thanks for the video and great product! Hope you keep rolling out accessibility products fine sir! As a normal user never thought about this issue, but take out a newer shooter (especially young, older, or with hand or grip issues) and this issue can be highlighted quickly with a solution like this needed well done.
What you need do the thread locker is called Vibra-Tite. I dries before you install the screw. If you instruct folks to use even the blue locktite on such a tiny screw, they will have issues getting them out without buggering the heads of the screws.
A cool concept. A lot of people won't be able to use it cuz they want to run an optic. But this would be a good reason for someone to buy the MOS version even if they're die hard iron sight guys
durability matters, but I'm even more intrigued by those unique features that differentiate it from other models. Innovation like this is what keeps the firearm community thriving.
This would be an excellent option for people with arthritic hands. This is not something I'm currently needing, but as a person with arthritic hands, I can totally understand how this may help me down the road.
My wife and I plan to visit Nashville soon and will visit the Glock Store. We enjoy your informative videos. I want to customize my G43 and she may want to do her G42.
Is this available for Glock 42? My wife has weak grip strength and has difficulty racking the slide. I wouldn't mind one on my 30s as well. Could also be important for quicker and more sure slide racking in emergency situation, or in the dark.
Can you make a back plate with wings so it'll work on more Glocks than just mos? Kinda like wings on a vp9... Or maybe more like how an old Ruger .22 pistol had them ...
Older topic question because this video is pretty new so I thought it would be a better bet for a reply. Apart from the copper material, does Glock oil & lube a new pistol as you demonstrated? Or is it bone dry? I'm curious if needed right out of the box before first use?
Glocks store lenny, how about some stuff for rhe compact 45 acp? Everything is for the g 43x. The g 30,30s is almost as small but in a bigger round. I guess everone is shifting to 9mm over past 10 years. Most of my handguns are 9mm. But i also have a couple 45acp. For fun shooting its hard to beat a big pill 💊.
No & Yes. (I don’t own any but from what I handled) Pocket sized guns are for some reason hard to rack. Either it’s too small (hard to grip properly) or the spring is ridiculously strong. Sub-compact to normal size no issue.
I pocket carry a Kel-Tec p3at everyday and it's a royal pain in the azz to rack the slide because it's such a small area to grab... I wish I could get something like that on my carry gun
cool idea in concept... but I'm not sure why this would be better or worse than a backplate with similar functionality.... but that can be quicker to disassemble. then again... more options more better.
What timing, I went shooting with my sister the other day and she was having trouble racking the slide. My hk has little things on the side of the slide that make it easier and she liked that but hk doesn’t make a smaller gun like the 43x I told her I would probably buy a Glock if I had to do it again just cause there are so many parts and accessories available for Glock that aren’t available for HK . Don’t get me wrong I think stock my HK is a better gun than a stock Glock but it’s nice to be able to walk into any store and know that they’ll have stuff for my Glock…
You don’t need multiplication either. You could just add the same number again and again. It just makes things easier. Just because you don’t need something, doesn’t mean you can’t use it.
Funny....so many people criticizing H&K for the VP9 racking "ears" on the back of the gun when it came out. Now look what they are making for glocks. Lmfao.
Early MOS guns had a steel plate. When they switched to plastic, I mean polymer. They took all the money saved and put it in their other pocket. Surprised they didn't leave it metal on the Gen 5 Mos, and introduce a Glock Gen. 6 Mos with a polymer cover plate. Or a metal reinforced polymer plate. . 😂😂😅😅
Do you make a plate for the slides you mill for your customers. Im worried what happens if I end up taking off the optic of a Glock Store milled slide.
Then this product isn’t for you. These comments like yours are cracking me up. It’s like you’re personally triggered that it’s even implied you have trouble racking the slide so you have to comment and make sure we all know you have big strong hands. Bud, 9/10 gun owners don’t need this product. This is for the 1/10, if you can rack a slide just fine- guess what? You aren’t the target demographic of this product.
Should have made the firing pin plate with wings on the side. If you do I want to be the first to buy it. This is a good idea but useless if you put a red dot.
their products are great., however,,, it takes loads of time to get their products once paid... I've got a Glock 21 and ordered and paid for the 10mm barrel.. I called and was on hold forever. I then texted the number that the answering machine says to do so.. my text told me that they would be back in stock mid March.. I text again for any type of update..."crickets."
Naw. I actually added a Glock Slide Charging Handle to the back of my Glock 29SF because I prefer not to carry with a round in the chamber. If I am wearing thick winter gloves in freezing weather, I want to be able to pull my conceal carry and reliably rack the slide with minimal effort. I also have arthritis that can act up really bad on occasion if I don't maintain an anti-inflammatory diet, and that makes my grip strength significantly weakened on some bad day mornings. I'm 27 yr old male and I love having the attachment. But I also have a Thumb Rest Lever to help mitigate some of the 10mm recoil from using high-powered loads in a compact form factor. In addition, I run a 4.5" barrel on my Glock 29SF that has been ported on the upper portion to divert gasses upwards and aid in recoil mitigation and reducing time between follow-up shots. It's around 40-60% less recoil every shot depending on if I am firing a medium or hot 10mm load.
There’s something to be said for a PBG..Plain Black Glock. The way they came from the factory is the most reliable they will ever be. I made modifications to one of mine and found out firsthand. If you have trouble racking a Glock slide, then maybe switch to a revolver.
I don’t trust the aftermarket modifications to Glock or any other firearm when it comes to the operation of the firearm. I need to know that even if it’s hard to rack, that when I go to fire it, it will fire every single time. I’m not gonna take a chance on an aftermarket spring…! Can’t handle the racking of your semi, then, maybe you should seriously consider a revolver for concealed carry…!
Lenny, I notice that you use a thumb and one finger to rack a slide. Why not use the technique that Glock teaches in their Instructor program? With the firearm in your dominant hand, place the palm swell of the non-dominant hand against the slide BEHIND the ejection port, and the four fingers against the other slide. This gives you the strength of your ENTIRE hand to manipulate the slide, rather than a thumb and half a finger. Quick, efficient, and WAY more controllable. And as well, the "slingshot" technique is just plain stupid. Hammer 42+ year Firearms Instructor (San Diego) USAF SSgt; US Army CW4/SrAviator; INS/ICE/CBP, ret.
I drop my gun too oftern ( only takes one drop) to run a red dot or halo site. Its gonna break if it hits just right. I dropped my ruger max and it landed on the back side of the grip at the lower rear magize. Mag fell out bottom plate of mag came off ,bullets everyware .worst of all the spring that runs along the back of the mag ,inside the grip, brok off at the top. A cheap plastic pin is all that holds it. My gunsmith said that should never happen. He fixed it with a metal securing pin. Said now it wont happen again. Bad engineering by ruger folks.
Or you can replace that 30 pound recoil spring with a 10 pound spring and it will not only be easier to operate it will reduce recoil and muzzle flip. All the Glock experts told me that will never work but it works like a champ with zero feeding issues.
Do you have trouble racking your slide?
My 43 is smooth as silk.
NO
Yes
Arthritis in my left thumb is a bitch, but slide rackers like Tango Down are perfect. I just wish they covered 45ACP models.
You lost all credibility when you started making blue colored guns that look just like training guns.
I'm 75 with arthritis and I appreciate this idea, I'll be getting one for my 43x because I ain't 25 anymore.
I’m with you on the arthritis as I have it in both thumbs. It can be a painful operation just racking the slide because of the arthritis. Been thinking about picking up a 43x real soon. Might have to put on one of these plates.
Anything that makes racking the slide easier is a win in my book. Keep up the good work
Especially for me with my arthritic hands
Lenny is the man. His years of experience shows through every demo.
ONLY Lenny can hold my interest for 8 minutes changing an MOS plate
Not sure what it is, but I agree. No interest in this product but I said what the hell and watched the whole thing. But I did learn about the difference between Red and Blue loctite.

Seems like a neat idea to me, doesn’t hurt to have a bit more grip sometimes, especially on the slim frame models.
I carry without a round in the chamber for my own reasons this makes perfect sense to draw and rack easily
Your a smart dude Lenny! You come up with all kinds of cool adaptions!
Lenny keep up the great work you and the staff are doing.👍💪

I would love something like this for the G42
Like the HK VP9 and it's rear slide wings.

I’ve done a lot of slides as well. My favorites have always been the old school metal tornado slides. You don’t see many nowadays…

Interesting use of 3D printing, what kind of filament was used if you don't mind me asking?
Pretty cool add to help with slide pull. Can’t find it on the GS website 🤔

Personally, I just went with a Glock Slide Charging Handle attachment. It attaches to the back of the slide.
cool idea in concept... but I'm not sure why this would be better or worse than a backplate with similar functionality.... but that can be quicker to disassemble. then again... more options more better.
my glock 10mm is a lot more than 9mm…love it

That's a pretty good idea, Lenny!
Are these replacements made out of metal or cheap plastic too?
Looking for a peep sight of my glock 19 gen 5 MOS, ideas please. Not looking for a red dot at this time.
I would consider wings to fit my my Holosun 507 43X MOS so I don’t grapple my optics.
There you go, great idea. An enhanced grip intended to work with the optic.
I just ordered one....Thanks for the video.
I remember seeing a Glock striker plate replacement that also assists in racking the slide. Am I mistaken?
genius idea! Always thinking ahead.
My g43x also has that grey finish instead of the milky black. Was it just a batch of slightly different finished g43x??
Another good and helpful idea from Lenny
Stupid simple idea that no-one has thought of before. Patent that, Lenny, if you haven't already!
Now, that is innovation!
What if you don’t have an MOS gun. I have a G42. Is there something for it?
I don’t even own a Glock and I end up watching all of Lenny’s videos!
Granted, the rock Island Glock clone but still, great videos
Thanks Lenny
Appreciate you ,!!
Are you able to use gen 4 slide internals and sights on a gen 3 slide?
For years I’ve used clear finger nail polish, as a thread lock.
Do you make one for springfield xds mod 2 9mm lost cover plate
Funny....so many people criticizing H&K for the VP9 racking "ears" on the back of the gun when it came out. Now look what they are making for glocks. Lmfao.
Where do I send my Glock 43x to have the mag release changed?
Lenny did you sale used cars before this?
Make a frame safety like Glock did for the Army trials.
Why? A decent trigger finger discipline is enough to prevent a negligent discharge.
Make the wings but a plate that fits under the red dot.
Excellent idea!
Nice invention!!
If you Mill the slide on my g19 would it be the exact same as my g47?
Awesome video sir
Good idea, but I would like to know how the hell you could lose the plate
Vickers and Springer Precision Slide Rackers: Are we a joke to you 👀
If you could do this plate as a combo for an RMSC pattern, that would be perfect for my wife.
Is that a Richard milly?
Early MOS guns had a steel plate. When they switched to plastic, I mean polymer. They took all the money saved and put it in their other pocket. Surprised they didn't leave it metal on the Gen 5 Mos, and introduce a Glock Gen. 6 Mos with a polymer cover plate. Or a metal reinforced polymer plate. . 😂😂😅😅
@embrocated9400 lol, that does sound like something that would be in small print. Glock 19 gen 5 MOS.
"cover plate sold separately "
So, as I understand this, these ONLY work if you aren't running an optic.. . Correct?
Does Glock make a mod slide for the gen 4 19?
If Lenny's arms get any bigger he's gonna have to start shopping in the men's department
Direct link to product?
Love it!
Can You Guys Make This in a Gold Color as Well as a Rose Gold Color Variant?
Contact our Custom Shop, we can Cerakote any one of our custom parts.
Do you make a plate for the slides you mill for your customers. Im worried what happens if I end up taking off the optic of a Glock Store milled slide.
We make one to fit the 507C/RMR footprint or the 507K footprint! SKU: 12001 on our website.
@@glockstore i failed to specify. I considering having you do my glock 43
Great! That's the same SKU and we offer it for The 507K footprint on the Glock 43X
Sorry, I’m not familiar with Glocks so I ask you: what is a MOS gun? Thanks 😊
Modular Optic System. They come with a standard optic cut on the slide that then adapts to a specific optic footprint using a plate.
I just tried to order and WILL NOT add the enhanced plate to basket 🙁
We are working on this now.
Please stand by.
@@glockstore thank you
It is available now. Thank you for your patience.
@@glockstore worked perfectly, thank you again.
Brilliant!
My G23 Gen 5 MOS cover plate is made of steel.

the 10mm barrel was an accessory @@wiseinvestments5134
Mostly old people will use that , neat idea Lenny .
Hey, I identify with that remark😂
Naw. I actually added a Glock Slide Charging Handle to the back of my Glock 29SF because I prefer not to carry with a round in the chamber.

Lenny is a God to some of US, this is basically an episode of church for me
Now here is an idea.....Put the same tabs on any optic plate.
Wager Machine Works will mill your slide and have it back to you in 7 days 😤

Dang plastic! If it was metal I would be all for it.

Love the videos, but why buy a MOS gun? Just to buy the adapter to run the slide?
👍
Arthritic hands make it difficult-to rack the slide.
Or you can replace that 30 pound recoil spring with a 10 pound spring and it will not only be easier to operate it will reduce recoil and muzzle flip. All the Glock experts told me that will never work but it works like a champ with zero feeding issues.
Does every Glock owner have arthritis ??? 😂😂
That plate goes to 11…
Good ole Lenny selling snake oil 😂
