How To: Make a fake Glock pistol prop with functional slide, trigger and magazine lock

Using guns in your independent films is risky business, and expensive to boot. Since you probably don't need to actually shoot anything, you can probably get by with a replica prop gun. If you're gonna do that, why not make it yourself? This video will show you how to make a realistic prop Glock handgun with working trigger, slide and magazine lock.

You'll need masking tape, black spray paint, scissors, utility knife (X-Acto knife), pen, hot glue gun, ruler, foam core pasteboard or cardboard, rubber band, very small pipe (or pen tube), wood stick, metal or aluminum strip, paper, printer and a spring.
