comment #57523 That style sight shouldn't be moving with the slide. It's on a fixed mount under barrel. There's a lot of glass and expensive electronics in the sight; you don't want it moving as fast as that slide is going to move. You pretty much only see those on target pistols, or for competition pistols, or if you're hunting with your big game revolver.
Or no, I'm a little bit wrong. There's a flash suppressor and top-rail mounted to the frame of the gun-- the bit that's sticking out the front and over the top.
She has the sight mounted on that new top rail.
... Seems like it'd be really hard to keep zero'd.
>.< what i mean is there should be a line where the slide ends and you can see the barel underneath, the sight mought does not cover as much space as the slide would leave exposed when back like that therefore the barel should be visable, but it is not
Damnit, okay, so it's not a flash suppressor either, I was wrong. It's just the mount. The barrel is there and visible if you zoom in. I'd actually say the barrel looks a little longer than it should. Maybe it's threaded.
I'm gonna go ahead and say the artist probably has a model of the gun and when he pulled it back like that, the slide really does mate with the rail like that. The very end of the slide is inside the rail mount.
