source for replicas?

[jmoore]

I teach forensics to criminal justice students. Though I am allowed to bring live weapons on campus for demos during the ballistics section, I'd prefer to switch over to replicas (not airsoft). Anyone know the source of some high quality (metal) replicas? Would prefer that they actually cycle/fire and not have the orange muzzles. Specifically looking for a glock and a 1911 to begin with. Not concerned too much about price, as my department will be picking up the tab.

Thanks

Try that, as for a Glock im not sure if they make them.

Also for 1911s cylinder and slide make a cut away fire arm that shows the internals of the pistol working, that might work for you too.

I think glock makes something like what you're talking about. I saw one at a police supply store a while back. It had a red frame and might have had a few cutaway section(not sure on that last part). It felt like a real glock and I think it was possible to dry fire it. Maybe someone here more knowledgeable about glocks knows what I saw.

They're also ridiculously expensive. I believe they're basically the same retail price as a functioning glock.

If they were cheaper they would be a super neat dry fire alternative for those of us that literally wear through triggers dry firing.

Ever consider buying used guns in bad shape and rendering them inert? Often cheaper than many other options, while maintaining some functionality.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but we use these for handgun training at my gun club. The gun remains fully functional but completely safe.
