This is only good for range shooting a Glock, since the slide release is pretty weak, factory wise, but in combat, pulling back the slide takes too much time, in fact, there's a couple seconds delay when reloading an empty Glock. That's why I try to not reload empty weapons. Always mid magazine change. It'll save frustrations for you watching your character take his damn time reloading and doing unneeded things like pulling the slide back or in the ACR's case, use right hand instead of left hand instead of pressing trigger finger forward.

I can agree with every other weapon criticism except this one. Most slide stops on guns are awkwardly placed to the point where the shooter has to reposition their hand in order to hit it. The Glocks is better than some, but it's also very small and it doesn't stick out like others, so in a combat situation, it would be a hassle to hit that thing, especially with gloves on as seen in MW2. On the other hand (no pun intended), pulling the slide back completely remedies this potential problem. If the shooter was using both hands when using the gun, I may be in favor of using the slide stop, as your reloading hand has to be repositioned anyhow and therefore can hit the slide stop with no alteration of the firing hand, but in game, the shooter is using one hand, so instead of altering his firing hand, he can keep his firm grip and just yank the slide. Makes more sense to me.
Furthermore, the gun isn't even a Glock 18, it has an OD green frame and no selector switch, and so I'm changing it on the page to be a modified Glock 17.
