A very interesting Glock, and good for dry fire at home. Mine arrived today and it's in excellent condition.

Is this article fair price for how much these normally cost?
IPasstheButter-sigh@reddit
They're over $500 new and require LE creds to buy, so yes.
DisasterDesigner8134@reddit
Thumbs down for price and doesn't go bang
Designer_Beginning_6@reddit
I'd be buying this RIGHT now if it were a Glock 19R or Glock 19P
CBR500RRider@reddit
Up until Mantis released their TitanX, I would've been so intrigued with this option. Alas, my TitanX 700 (modeled on a Glock 17) is a better fit for my dry fire needs. Still, very interesting!
dhnguyen@reddit
Genuine question why not by ab actual Glock 17 for cheaper lol
iFightForOurRights@reddit
Genuine answer: This one has a unique feature that a "real" Glock 17 doesn't have... The "R" in the model name stands for "Reset". That's because the trigger resets every time the trigger is pulled (without having to rack the slide).
This allows for more realistic training. If you rack the slide every time you dry fire a Glock, you're more likely to do it in a high-stress, real life scenario where your life is on the line.
So this allows for safe practice with a weapon that functions identically to a live firearm (minus the recoil).
dhnguyen@reddit
I might be a cheap ass but I'm one hundred percent just mashing a dead trigger/keeping the slide open with a zip tie.
Infamous_Translator@reddit
Maybe I’m too tired but what’s with the zip tie
dhnguyen@reddit
You can shove anything between the slide and the barrel to keep your Glock out of battery and it will let you move the trigger.
Infamous_Translator@reddit
Honestly didn’t know this. Thanks for the tip
iFightForOurRights@reddit
That's what I do as well - I can't afford all of the fancy training stuff, so I just do the best that I can with what I've got.
dhnguyen@reddit
Pretty sure it's not inferior at all man. Lol
Diligent-Parfait-236@reddit
I was wondering why these are Rs and not Ps.
I wonder if you could do this with just a firing pin channel liner that doesn't allow it to completely decock. Inconvenient to brick a regular pistol without any external indication, but it would also be like $10.
Prestigious-Quit-951@reddit
$35
WesternCzar@reddit
$350 for a gun that doesn’t go bang is wild to me.
Rjsmith5@reddit
I mean, it’s not THAT crazy if you think of it as a serious training aid. When you consider the amount of dry firing that competition shooters do to get good with their handguns, something like this starts to make sense. It’s not for everyone, but there are definitely some people who would utilize it enough to make sense
WesternCzar@reddit
You can get a dry fire mag for under $100 with no transfer fee and use it on the actual gun you plan to train with vs $350+$25-$50 transfer.
Just don’t be silly and not clear the firearm ahead of time.
Rjsmith5@reddit
For me, taking that out of the equation is part of the value, especially if you’re training with another person.
Don’t get me wrong - I’m not saying this is an amazing value or anything; just not crazy for someone to buy for what it is. For me, the value of this would be 3 dry fire mags (it shows three training mags in the picture) + the safety proposition + the Glock Tax/collector value.
RedWhiteAndJew@reddit
At an institutional level, that’s just something that would never be possible. Which is why it exists.
Let’s be clear though, someone outside of a training entity buying this is doing it for the collector value. And $350 is pretty forgettable when you think of it in that context.
RonaldWRailgun@reddit
Back in the days, yes. Today I'd rather invest in a complete mantis system, or shit... Even an aceVR, might not be as "realistic" of a tool but I can see myself using it a lot more.
Desperate_Set_7708@reddit
And it’s still an FFL item
hitemlow@reddit
And yet somehow it's still an FFL item?
Fearless_Roof_4534@reddit
Yep, the actual red frame is serialized because if you have the needed parts from a real Glock 17, you can turn no pew-pew into yes pew-pew
hitemlow@reddit
Damn.
Fearless_Roof_4534@reddit
People will pay even more for guns that go bang when they're not supposed to! *cough* P320 *cough*
FaladorSWAT@reddit
People have spent way more than $350 on Kimbers.
eater_of_spaetzle@reddit
Sick burn!
FlapperGasfire@reddit
Knowing GS, I'm surprised it isn't $1k
Mountain_Man_88@reddit
I got issu d something similar in police academy. They wanted us to have very realistic training guns, better than the shitty solid plastic ones. Police training environments generally prohibit live weapons of any kind so it wouldn't have been acceptable to just clear a duty gun and throw a dry fire mag in.
I don't see much use for something like this outside of a police training context. More of a curio if anything.
2Drogdar2Furious@reddit
Yea all that makes sense but at $350 it's just a ridiculous notion imo.
