The slide on my LCP is already difficult to pull back, will adding this slide make that pulling back a bit more difficult?

Yes it will, the original spring I think was a 9 lb and this one is a 13 lb. but this spring does help with recoil.

There's nothing noticeable but it makes a difference in recoil.I'm happy with it along with the guide rod too.

yes, slightly. you want to break it in by racking the slide often. at the same time you will get use to the pull and get very comfortable with the new tention of the slide. after a while of multiple chamber checks, you'll know what to expect pulling the slide. muscle memory/ reflex.

Slightly , but the after a few racks you won't notice, it's a nice upgrade, especially with the stainless rod

Victor, Contact Galloway directly, they have excellent service and want to make sure you get the proper parts to meet your need. But per their website: "Direct replacement for the stock 9lb unit from the factory. Will fully cycle full power ammo and help reduce felt recoil and muzzle flip." Based on that, I would presume it would add ~4 lbs of spring loading to what you have now. This is meant to tame the recoil, but may make it a tad more stiff to manually cycle the slide. I replaced the spring in my LC9 (from 16lb to 20lb), and I cannot say its any more difficult to operate the slide.

If I understand your question, I think you are asking if it is difficult to depress the trigger. If thats correct then it would depend on the relative strength of your hand. With that being said, I don't feel that that trigger pull is difficult at all. I am very please with the whole setup. I believe it is the best value out there.

I suspect it depends on the draw poundage you have it set to. I can pull it with just my fingers at 42# without fussing but haven't tried shooting it that way.

Yes you do. However it should be pretty easy to create something to do that for you. I am thinking a trigger pressure gauge. How many pounds of pull are being used is some other information that is helpful. If you have to use a lot of poundage it is more likely to cause you to veer off slightly. I have a double action only pistol that has a 14 pound pull. I sure wish it were about half that.

It does not affect the pull back in the least, This is normal, as least on my 22/45. Ruger states in the manual that it is OK to dry fire the 22/45

I would have to say no. If you look at the example pic in the add you can kind of see the soft S shape. Reversing it does not look like it is right. JMHO Secondly, I am not entirely sure how the arm extensions would hold position of slide being upside down. I think you are best checking with the manufactured. The unit is really well made and definitely worth the effort if it can operate the way you want.

I think it would require some creative modifications to attach a slide. You may do better with a stand alone slide.

the compensator looked amazing on my 1911, it did not match up perfectly and i was ok with that. It was until i decide to chamber a round that i realized it stopped my slide from going all the way back and not allow a round to be fed . i have since then taken it off and have been too lazy to return it, i have a springfield 1911 champion.

I have a standard lc9 and it was seamless. Ruger makes 2 basic lc models and each has its own laser. Should have no problems and installs in minutes.

I was having a problem with pushing down the slide release lever, installing the extended slide release lever made it easier to push the lever down with less effort. .

You have to use the laser cartridge for the appropriate caliber. It is rimless so it will not eject when pull the slide.

Yes! My husband says it's not too bad as long as you aren't weak. I can do it, but my 7YO son could not. Really glad I also got a cheap Crossman pistol for him so he can actually shoot. UPDATE: It is much easier to grip the front of the slide as the manufacturer or someone suggested in the product description. I didn't see that earlier. For some reason the slide doesn't always complete it's movement when I cock the pistol, but it never gives my husband trouble. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or just weak.

Make sure you press the button, the same button you used to insert the barrel. You do have to pull pretty hard.
489929
Yeah I think so might have to grind down the grip due to the extra length on the slide release
1548608
No, I think you need a longer slide. This one would be too straight up and down !

No, you can pull back the slide, it has a magazine release but the hammer does not move.

Hi, I have never had a problem with mine, but on each end there may be a clip that if you put your fingernail under the far end and pull out it will release.Other than that, Other than that, I can only suggest that there is a strong détente that can be overcome by pulling on it with a little more force. It may be that you will have to remove it and inspect the slides and make sure that they are truly free and work back and forth. I think it is possible that if there was a little misalignment when it was installed that it might be hard to slide the drawer back and forth. It may be necessary to fill and redrill a hole or two to correct alignment. Hope this helps you, Kathy. Peace.
