Molly - Groove //top\\
The Molly Groove has a secret personality, though. It only appears if you shoot lead bullets. If you shoot copper-jacketed bullets, the harder metal bridges the groove, and the bullet comes out looking nearly pristine. This means the gun is a chameleon: sometimes it leaves a perfect clue, sometimes it leaves almost nothing at all.
Unlike traditional "lands and grooves" (which look like raised bumps and valleys cut into the barrel), polygonal rifling looks like a hexagon or octagon twisted down a tube—no sharp corners. This design creates a better gas seal, boosts velocity, and reduces lead fouling. molly groove
To understand the Molly Groove, you first have to understand a dirty little secret of firearm engineering: lead bullets are messy. As a bullet travels down a rifled barrel, the soft lead can strip or melt, leaving a residue of “leading” behind. To fix this, many modern handguns (like the Glock, Smith & Wesson Sigma, and Kahr series) use a specific type of polygonal rifling. The Molly Groove has a secret personality, though
