My Glock said it’s fine, but it’s usually drunk.

This just in: low to mid tier budget firearm not machined to 0.00001" tolerances. What does this mean for you and your daily carry? More at 11.

Yeah, not a problem. It’s not a $3k 2011.

It’s a nice trigger for a heavy carry gun, .380 feels surprisingly snappy out of a PPK. Slide to frame fit isn’t the problem with these.

last time someone came around and was asking about rattles and wobbles in their hand gun and I pointed out that duty weapons aren't precision made competition guns I got down voted.

funny how this site works.

All my glocks and sigs sound like moraccas if you shake them with a loaded mag

They've all been like that from new, and still drive a nail from 20 yards

Hell I carry an FN Five SeveN, which was $1,200 and it also does this. I don't have much side to side play on my slide, but it definitely rattles a tad when I shake it lol

That's.... certainly a choice. lol. Nice firearm though!

Lol yeah I mostly chose it because I am a big fan of the performance of 5.7x28mm and it was one of the only choices at the time. I really love the gun though so I just never stopped carrying it despite it being strange to most.

I've had some failure to extract/feed issues at first. pretty bad actually.

But after a little filing and some work with the emery cloth, got those issues to all but disappear. Maybe once every couple hundred rounds. Which is enough for me to not want to carry it. But I love shooting it.

At least you sig is playing the moraccas and not the drums...

I’m convinced that people don’t even look sometimes but just pile on with downvotes

Right but how did you make them feeeel?

It's normal. The ppk uses a fixed barrel so accuracy isn't a concern.

You know what's funny?

The fact that the slide has a fuck ton of slop on a pistol with the barrel fixed to the frame means accuracy IS a concern.

If it was a Browning action where the barrel is locked to the slide (where the irons are) then it wouldn't matter if the slide was moving (only then when the hammer or striker moves would the slide slop allow it to wander, thus still effecting accuracy some).

If the irons, barrel, and firing mechanism all worked from the same part, then it wouldn't effect accuracy basically at all, especially if it had a free floated barrel.

But... tldr, it's not a sniper rifle and the average handgun will outshoot its owners accuracy potential, still not that big of a deal.
