Does my Harbor Frieght face shield count as bullet proof?

That portion of the slide is under very little stress id either get it welded or just break the piece off. I have had at least two slides welded and all is well personally id just finish breaking the piece off so it doesnt get caught on rear rail and keep on shooting. Screw buying a new slide the gun is so cheap either dont bother or get a brand new gun.

Based on this closed auction link, it looks like you can solve your problem for about $57, and get an extra barrel and guide rod to boot.

Look at it as being a cheap lesson.

I am no expert but it doesn;t seem like that would hurt anything when firing- just maybe one round at a time, the back end of the slide may break apart on recoil...? Maybe?

That is exactly what I was thinking...shrapnel!!

I have a friend from Minnesota and when he boo boo's....he says "OOFTA". I think this might be an OOFTA moment.

That's UFF DA. Yeah, I'm from Minnesota.

Hmmm, how about removing the cracked section and reshaping it on both sides equally with a dremel (after all you already used a hammer). Cosmetics will suck. Buying a new slide is the best idea.
