Most likely not good, the Marines in the mid 80’s were attaching strings to the slides to prevent them from flying into your face.

That’s a Marine war story.
Btw, if it’s going to be used as a shooter replacement parts are plentiful. I may buy one when they come on the market if they’re not over priced. But, I won’t use it as a shooter.

The ones they gave us to qualify with in the early 70’s were so loose they would almost disassemble themselves.
