Introduction:
First of all, it is crucial to understand that to ensure the proper functioning of the slide stop, it is essential to adjust your PSI so that the slide of your replica completes a complete cycle.
It is essential to emphasize that there is no universal PSI value, despite some persistent beliefs.
When adjusting your PSI, take into account the regulations as well as the weight of your slide, which varies depending on the materials used and the accessories mounted (for example: RMR optic).
In general, the heavier your slide, the more power it will require to complete a complete cycle.
Custom springs or short stroke modifications can also influence barrel output values and require additional adjustments.
We advise you to get closer to the PSI values recommended by the manufacturer of your replica, which are generally:
Glock 17:
- Plastic slide: 80 to 110 PSI
- Aluminum slide: 110 to 140 PSI (use 180/200% hammer spring)
- Steel slide: 140 to 160 PSI (use 200% hammer spring)
AAP-01 :
- 100 to 140 PSI (use 180/200% hammer spring)
Now let's move on to adjusting the slide stop.
On the market, various brands and generations of Glock type replicas are available, each with its own specifications.
It may happen, in certain cases, that on certain models, the slide stop presents a hooking problem, which disrupts the proper functioning of the empty magazine detection.
In certain situations, the slide stop may contact the end of the magazine lips.
To resolve this problem there is a simple modification to make, which I explain to you below:
