When I got home from work this afternoon I had a letter waiting for me in the mailbox from the Wake County Sheriffs Department. It was a small piece of card stock folded in half and sealed with tape. When I opened it, this was written on the inside: You’re probably saying “Okay Luke, they sent you a letter, but they are legally required to notify you that your permit is about to expire, so …
Read More »Glock 43 Compared to Other Pistols
Y’all asked for it, and here it is. Once again, I need to inform everyone of the numbers I’m using to makes the comparison images. I’m using the picture of the Glock 43 that is going around the internet today sized by the numbers listed in the picture of the Recoil magazine page in this post (6.26″ Overall Length). I traced the picture below into a vector image, and then laid it over other vector …

I filmed this video last night explaining all of the Glock clues and my “photo forensics” work that I did on the clues. Since posting the video, another picture has started making its way around social media, and it looks pretty convincing: I don’t read a lot (I don’t read any) gun rags, so the graphics on the page don’t look familiar to me, but after giving it a glance, it looks legit to me. …

Just minutes ago, Glock dropped this picture on their Facebook page: Oh boy, I think the cats out of the bag now. The only questions us, how big/small will it actually be? Will it be the 9mm we’ve all be waiting for? Whatchu think?

Last night I shot the Wake County Action Pistol match, and I had an off night. Not really sure what happened, but I just felt like I was spinning my wheels all night, and I couldn’t get traction. I’ve been practicing and dryfiring like a madman, but it just didn’t pan out for me last night. The only thing I can really think of is actually something I’ve been preaching on the podcast forever, and …
Read More »Photo Forensics: The “Glock’s First Ever Single Stack 9mm” Ad
If you’ve been anywhere on social media during this afternoon/evening, you’ve probably seen this picture: It’s pretty convincing, although it looks suspiciously similar to a Glock 42. Conveniently I still had all of the images from yesterdays post about the Glock slide opened up on my computer, so I decided to see what I could find by comparing the above picture with some of the images I used yesterday in the other post. First, the …
Read More »Photo Forensics: New Glock Ad With Slide Profile
Here we go again! Today Glock dropped this picture on their Facebook page: As soon as I saw it, I ran to the computer to begin chopping it to pieces with image editing software. Here’s the new slide cropped out of the picture from above, and the same picture of it after I did some Photoshop magic to it to change the colors: My first thought was to line it up with a slide from a …

Andrew Branca announced yesterday that he’ll be having a Law of Self Defense seminar in Raleigh on May 3, 2015. Andrew joined us on the podcast way back in episode 86 where we talked a little about a lot of things around self defense. The class he’s teaching in Raleigh will be specific to NC laws, so if you’re someone that carries a gun in North Carolina, it’s worth it. Use the code triangle and …
Read More »Dissecting Glock’s “This Spring” Ad
Earlier today, Glock posted this picture on their Facebook page, with the caption “This Spring”. They said nothing else about it. Well, if you’re like me, you’re hoping that this could mean a super special new spring to fit in the Glock unicorn singlestack 9mm pistol that we all hope exists somewhere behind lock and key in Smyrna, GA. I decided to do a little digging into this picture to see what I could come …

…because people keep shooting up signs and other stuff on the gameland. This falls under the heading of “Don’t be a douche.” If it’s not YOUR target, don’t shoot at it. Yes it’s great that they’re building a range, but they’re also banning shooting on the rest of the gameland. If people keep this up, they’ll end up closing the range and they’ll keep the shooting ban in place.
