Incredible one handed pistol reload by Adam Sibley
Here's a guy who does something similar on the draw, except he catches the rear sight on his belt and pushes down to rack the slide. Looks a little dangerous.
My favorite is the guy with no arms that shoots and reloads with his feet.
Perhaps if you run 10 or 20 thousand rounds through the gun first to loosen it up?
Wow, that is incredible. Poor guy, I hope his reward in Heaven is to have arms that would put Schwarzenegger to shame.
Cool! Fifteen thousand rounds to go! ;-)
The slide spring would have to be incredibly light to do that. I call it a hoax.
I was thinking he replaced the return spring with a slinky.
This is BS
The opposite of limp wristing. I’d like to see him try it with a G26. Less slide mass in a G26, so it has a stiffer recoil spring.
I guess I was assuming the gun was still operational. He may have taken the spring out. I can’t imagine the slide is that loose and the firearm still functions properly.
I didn’t know they even made a 1 pound recoil spring for a Glock. Use the rear sight on belt method because that’s not a gimmicky trick and works on a stock weapon.
FYI, the slide on a Glock 17 weighs just over 1 lb. I have a digital scale and it maxes out at 4.5 lbs and the slide requires well over that to cycle. In fact 4.5 lbs barely moves the slide.
You gotta see this Ping.
There had to be some kind of return spring for him to do what was in the video, but it had to be incredibly weak and as you wrote “operational”.
Also, I wonder if he weighted the slide somehow to give him the extra momentum forcing the slide to react that way to film the video.
BS, imo.
Oops, replace wrote with questioned.
Sorry about that.
I think I'm beginning to see the problem now: I'm just not that fast anymore, because this guy's hand speed is blurry fast. :-(
BS. I would not consider firing that firearm. Nope. No way. Nada. Slide would probably come back with enough force to break free and climb up your arm. That gun was not “loosened up” by firing lots of rounds. That gun either has no spring or, as previously suggested, a cut down slinky.
Look up ‘Paul Gomez’ on YouTube. I think your first video is a hoax, but the second, racking the slide on the belt by the sight, is a legitimate one-hand technique.
Heck my new sig 226 is so tight I have trouble doing it with two hands.
I wondered about that, too. But see my post#16 above. That guy calls it the “Ninja reload.” And I think there are other guys on YouTube who demonstrate it as well. I’m now beginning to think it is real, with duty strength springs.
