The fact you guys can stipple them with a soldering iron means they're not thermoset, and they will puddle at 800F.

That's a cute video. I can make a video where a plastic solo cup won't burn if it's filled with water too. :roll: Maybe you did that demonstration in Jr High science class like we did?

Notice no rounds fired on the frame? Weak sauce video.

Give me a glock, my home oven (no heat treat furnace here), a half hour, and I'll show you a puddle.

Liquidus temperature isn't the same as "turning into a liquid" - it really isn't the same as a melting point either, and that is where the polymer frames are excluded. As I understand it, the crystalline structure of the polymers in a Glock (Nylon 6) remain homogenous under high temperatures unlike metals. The polymer will warp, flow, "puddle", and burn under high temps but it never reaches a liquidus state.

A very smart metallurgist made this distinction for the MN law in 1979.

Subd. 4.Saturday night special pistol."Saturday night special pistol" means a pistol other than an antique firearm or a pistol for which the propelling force is carbon dioxide, air or other vapor, or children's pop guns or toys, having a frame, barrel, cylinder, slide or breechblock:

(1) of any material having a melting point (liquidus) of less than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, or

(2) of any material having an ultimate tensile strength of less than 55,000 pounds per square inch, or

(3) of any powdered metal having a density of less than 7.5 grams per cubic centimeter.



OK I bought one of these at the Gun Stop in St. Louis Park Feb 7th, on Feb 18th the thing's slide ruptured at the range. ATI is giving me my money back. Gun Stop did not even offer to ship it back to them and I had had the thing less than two weeks! SO was it illegal for them to sell it to me??
