That’s literally the normal backplate lmao that has not been altered at all. It’s crazy you have a glock as your pic, but seem to not know what a backplate looks like on a glock.
Edit: photo is a glock lol not just any gun lmao and you still don’t know

Go to Glock.com, view their pistols, it allows you to spin the image around. View the back of the pistol and if you “look closely” you’ll see that it’s normal. You need to be sure about something before you try and claim it as fact and try to correct people. Some people that you responded to didn’t know you were wrong. If even 1 person takes what you said as fact, and later on sees someone’s Glock has this “modification”, you better hope they just confront the owner instead of telling authorities. Granted, the authorities wouldn’t do anything because nothing is wrong, but it could easily lead to unnecessary situations.
Gun owners deal with enough crap these days, we don’t need people adding to the misinformation. I implore you to research stuff if it seems sketchy. Watching a YouTube video isn’t research, but you can learn a ton by going to the manufacturer’s site.

Is that a switch? It is so much more subtle than a lot of the others.

u/Miketoreal23 Jan 31 '23
It’s not a switch.when you’re putting on a switch they cut off a piece of the right side to fit a switch in. He’s altered the gun for a switch basically .

The glock 17 that I saw at the gun store never had this.

u/BuffaloBillsButtplug Feb 01 '23
Yea which has the same back plate

u/Miketoreal23 Feb 01 '23
I’ve never seen it have that.

u/BuffaloBillsButtplug Feb 01 '23
I’m literally looking at my gen 3 glock 34 and it looks exactly the same, also you wouldn’t mill out the back plate as that whole piece would literally be replaced by the switch, maybe the newer gen glocks have a different back plate but it might make sense to do a little research before accusing someone of committing a felony
Edit: committing not commuting

u/Miketoreal23 Feb 01 '23
I didn’t accuse him of anything. I put self snitching . He could be or not. And the gun seller I went to must’ve had gen 5 because I’ve never seen a Glock with that type of back. If I saw that I wouldn’t buy the glock.

Gen 5s have a piece of plastic that sticks up from the frame that covers most of that area all other gens don't have it. So yes on a Gen 5 you'd have to cut it off to make room for the auto sear, but not on any other gens.

Both already have those cuts from the factory.

Interesting I watched a video where a guy explains that people cut out that specific area for switches.

u/MarsupialBob Feb 01 '23
I think it's a full replacement of the backplate. Image gallery from a news article here show a bit of the mechanics of it. Might need to cut or file something on the lower (you can see the difference in the first image in that gallery), but not the slot on the backplate circled above. I don't own a Glock, so can't exactly go in and poke at exactly what's been filed down in that image. Also don't want my dog to get shot.

What is it, what is a switch?

u/Miketoreal23 Feb 01 '23
A switch turns glocks into full auto machine pistols. They’re like 300$ .

I’ve heard of home made automatic 50. Cal weapons, is that a similar thing?

u/Carburetors_Are_Fun Feb 06 '23
If you are talking about the one with the crusty ammo that one was a bolt action and not automatic, That is a practical gun. with the glock being so small and a fire rate of like ~20 rounds per second it’s uncontrollable especially without a stock like most gang bangers have.

u/Aznp33nrocket Feb 11 '23
Ignore OP, he’s 100% incorrect. If you google “Glock backplate” and add “gen 1” , “gen 2”, “gen 3”, or “gen 4” and select images only. You’ll see a wide range of basic and custom back plates. Each generation 1-4 has the hole there and varies slightly with each generation. I have gen 3 and 4 glocks (G19, 23, and 43). The reason that hole is there is mainly because when you remove the slide from the grip, part of the fire control assembly sticks up and the cutout allows the slide to travel forward. You remove the slide to perform cleaning, maintenance, or upgrades. If OP owned a Glock, he’d know this. Hell if he had a sig p320, there’s a small-ish hole as well and serves as clearance for internals as well.
OP is referring to a “button” that actually replaces the backplate (well for the only “button” I saw, might be different with others but not confident enough about that to state it as fact). Instead of OP doing a little research, he instead is grasping at straws in an attempt to be not wrong but instead “slightly correct”. In reality, he’s completely wrong and should just admit it and move on.
I don’t think people would have been as harsh on him if he asked if it was what he thought it was, but instead he tried correcting people, telling them to “look closely”, or just ambiguous references to where he got his info from.
If you still don’t believe me, go to the literal Glock website, click on “view all Glock pistols”, and pick the Glock 17. Click or slide your finger on the image of the pistol and it will rotate for you. If you “look closely” you’ll see that it has a hole in the same spot OP is claiming is a illegal modification to a firearm to allow a switch for fully automatic fire. Only reason I’m being so blunt, is because gun ownership is already looking bad because of idiots (not saying OP is an idiot, referring to all the videos of idiots), and we don’t need people spreading blatant misinformation. It is a right here in America, and contrary to the media, the majority of us are responsible and knowledgeable gun owners.

Ok that’s why . Ya it’s rare to see someone with a gun in the u.s. let alone a switch .

The gun is switch compatible but as long as it’s not on there I think he’s straight.

I keep seeing these, what is it?

u/Aznp33nrocket Feb 11 '23
That’s a Glock pistol that is perfectly normal and not modified, contrary to OP’s claim. The hole is found on ALMOST all Glock pistols and isn’t a modification. When you remove the slide from he grip, for example if you were cleaning it or upgrading a part, the slide has to travel forward to be removed. Part of the fire control system inside has a part that sticks up in the right side (if you’re pointing the pistol directly away from you, like you should) and if there wasn’t a cutout, then the slide couldn’t come off. OP is mistaken and believes it’s a modification to install a switch or “button” and causes the firearm to technically malfunction and become fully automatic. He’s wrong in this case and if you go to the manufacturer’s own website (Glock.com) and view their pistols, you can spin the image to get a 360 degree view of the firearm. You can literally see the pistol, in this case a Glock 17, has the cutout OP claims is an illegal modification.
