I can imagine all the middle-aged guys going to the doctor with shoulder injuries trying to replicate this. It'll be called Glock Jerk Shoulder in the medical journals. Ha!

You 9mm folks don't get to play:) Yep, sounds like this trick is only for Glocks with a heavier slide. You 9mm folks don’t get to play:)

I tried that trick with my (lightly-used) Model 19, and I just could not get the slide to retract more than a half-inch. I quit trying because it started to hurt my shoulder. Other than the trick aspect, I don't see how this is a reliable, safe and functional technique for draw/engage situations with the M19, that the operator should count on it. It would only have to be unreliable once... Then again, I couldn't make it work. Dang!

I was at home, so I didn't want to use live rounds, so I inserted an empty mag. I tried it 4 times and finally on that try, I was able to lock the slide back on the empty mag, so if it were a round, it would have chambered. I tried it a fifth time to see if I could replicate, and no go. After that, my shoulder hurt from the abrupt jerking motion. After seeing the video, I wanted to try it with my Glock 22.

The human body is extremely well designed for acceleration, at nearly every joint. This isn't all that different (mechanically speaking) than the way that sprinters leave the block. I would bet though that the spring in that gun has seen several thousand rounds, as they tend to get lighter the more they are shot. Now I'm gonna have to explain to the wife what the hell I'm doing in the garage tonight ;) I don’t see any reason that it couldn’t be done.
