Does anyone have experience with the Red Practice pistol from Glock? Specifically, are you able to continually dry fire without having to partially rack the slide to re-#### the striker?

I am concerned that repetitively racking the slide (when dry firing) with my finger still on the trigger is going to lead to bad muscle memory.

You do have to rack the slide in order to re-#### it. They are identical in function to a normal glock, except that the slide and barrel are manufactured in such a way that it would be impossible to chamber a round. The lowers are 100% functional and you can just swap the slides on them to make them run. This being the case, they are also considered to be restricted firearms.
 
:confused: So why did Glock choose to mold the bottom in red instead of making the slide a distinctive color? From what you're saying, that horrendous Glock pictured above could actually be a working 9mm?
 
racking the slide with your trigger finger on the trigger is good muscle memory, it teaches you proper trigger reset. Not letting go of the trigger until you've ridden out the recoil, and have reaquired your target.

I should say it's good practice, when you are practicing dry fire drills, it's not good practice if you are practicing malf's or mag changes.

Yea that's what I'm getting at Slavex. By dry firing I am actually practicing keeping my finger on the trigger when racking the slide. I can see this happening at a match: Malf, Rack, STOP!

I would have thought that with the glocks popularity someone would have created a training pistol that lets you continually click, reset, click, wishful thinking I guess.

Get some snapcaps and i can't see how you'd hurt a real pistol doing the drills .
 
the trainer was made for people to be able to use all their normal gear in a classroom setting with zero worry about live rounds making it into the gun and going off. (unless some idiot swapped a slide)

and that trigger unit is cool. I'll have to get one when my G19 shows up.
 
Thanks Mike K, that doohickey is what I'm after. atr and Trigun, you guys kinda missed the point, this is nothing to do with hurting the pistol.
