Front serrations make it easier to rack the gun. To rack, I always grab the gun from above (it's more tactically sound than pinch gripping, and shares muscle mechanics with clearing stoppages, even though pinch grip might save a little time in a competition situation). My palm and little finger fall on front serrations while the thumb and index finger fall on rear serrations.
Also, if you were to mount optics, the optics might prevent you from reasonably accessing rear serrations which makes front serrations more valuable.
Huh? How is it more tactically sound? I mean, first off, you start with a round chambered condition 1. Right? You then unsafe the gun and fire until empty. If the gun fails to return to battery, you clear the gun and rack the slide. Your hand has no business being up by the muzzle. When you insert a new mag, you either pull back on the slide from the back, or hit the slide release.
Front serrations are for press checking only, and I think they're useless at that. I can press check my CCO with no serrations without any issue, and that's considering my gun has a 24 pound spring in it.
Front serrations are for a press check, to double check you have a round chambered, not to completely rack the slide.
I think most people just get them for looks. Personally I never cared for them.
Agreed - I think you easily can press check safely without them.
So anyone familiar with the rules/laws on taking a gun into another state? Ill be heading down to San Diego for the next 6 months and was just kind of curious. I know CA you cant carry and have a max mag size of 10 rounds. But is it legal for me to even bring a gun down there?
I probably wont but curiosity got the best of me.
The gun must be legal, and you cannot conceal. My advice is simply: don't take it. Have someone you trust store it in your home state.
