    Yeah, but I sold it for $175.00 more than I paid for it. It was a business decision Tony!

        yep, unfortunately he didn't have the rigidity to land a 31 year old girlfriend.

            Here's a 1911.. Though the image is small I see what appears to be some flex in this too. Lends credence to the theory of visual distortion rather than flex in the polymer. At least some of it. Pay attention to the top of the slide, and barrel:

                Yeah that all looks right. Steel will definitely flex, take a look at an AK or AR firing in slow motion. Are you talking about the aliasing on the top of the slide? What futant is talking about is not a "heat bubble" he's lost his mind. Optical distortions do not cause you to see the lower barrel lug, insides of the gun, or the take down lever to move from the flex.

                I found the image/video off a post on thefirearmblog.com. If you read the comments below, there are some pretty interesting observations about the severity of it's frame flexing. Obviously the guns work like this, but it's just fascinating to see.

                  FWIW, I'm not disputing that the Glock doesn't flex like an SOB.. Just saw those videos and figured it made sense to post them as well.

                  He has an AR on there, but it's a close up of the upper receiver only, and really didn't show any flex. You could see the dust cover bouncing back and forth but that was it.

                      It's plastic. I wouldn't expect it to be as rigid as metal. The question is, is if it's yield strength is ever compromised, having gone past it's elastic limit? If not, that thing can "bounce" a long, long time and never break. Think of a spring, it can compress and be stretched thousands of times as long as you never exceed it's elastic limit.

                          The flex on AR15's is mostly the barrel, it stops at the receiver.

                                It's spelled steel. And yes, it flexes. It doesn't look like gelatin. Don't get butt hurt, glocks look like gelatin and work just fine.
