As you probably know, I recently picked up a Gen4 Glock 19 as a new concealed carry pistol. I wanted to go back to a doublestack gun, and I also wanted something that was very similar to my Glock 34 that I shoot in competition. I don’t tend to make a lot of modifications to my carry pistols, but I’ve done a couple things to the Glock 19: Custom Grip Plug Funnel Glock pistols have …

This morning on Facebook, Larry Vickers announced that he, in partnership with Lipsey’s (a wholesale distributor) is coming out with a signature line of Glock pistols. The Glocks are FDE colored Gen3 frames that have the old RTF2 texture that I think everyone loved. They will also come with a bunch of Vickers Tactical branded stuff (Vickers sights, mag release, slide stop, and baseplates). The pistols also feature “LAV” in the serial numbers for the …

At the gun store: “Hey, y’all have any Gen4 Glock 19s in stock?” “Yeah” “Cool, give me the paperwork.” “Uhhh, don’t you want to see it?” “Nah, it’s a Glock.” “…I love customers like you.”

I get a lot of questions about why I recommend certain singlestack 9mm concealed carry pistols and not others. Rather than type up a big long blog post, I figured I’d do something a little different and fire up the camera gear and do a video on the singlestack 9’s in my life, and why I like them. It basically comes down to a set of criteria that I’ve mentioned a few times: – 7+1 …

According to a recently published video from Guns.com where they interviewed Lenny MaGill from Glockstore.com, MaGill says “I do hear that Glock’s coming out with a 9mm singlestack this year.” (Video Link for Email/RSS Readers) Yeah, even with the Springfield XDs 9mm, and the new S&W Shield no-safety, I’m still really wanting a single stack 9mm Glock. I think we all know it’s inevitable at this point, but it’s encouraging to hear from someone in …

From time to time I hear someone complain about how hard it is to remove Glock magazine baseplates. Several places sell special tools for this, and it’s all unnecessary. All you need is a 1/8″ punch to stick in the bottom of the magazine, and then you can just pop the baseplate right off. (Video link for Email/RSS Readers)

After talking about it for a number of years I finally picked up a Glock 34 to shoot in competition. I moved away from Glocks temporarily because I was having slide bite issues, and the new beavertail backstraps hadn’t been released yet for the Gen4 pistols. Now they are, and I’m back. I’m not a “Glock guy” (see Episode 24 of the podcast) but I have found that I prefer them over the M&P’s I’ve …

I’m an EDC nerd, and I think I’ve been one since a was a little kid with a pocket knife. I’m not one of the EDC guys that carries a ton of stuff, but I like the stuff that I do carry to actually work. Unfortunately over the years I’ve collected a bunch of EDC gear that just doesn’t do it for me. Everybody who carries a gun needs to have a J-Frame S&W, right? …

Local shooter, all around good dude, 3-Gun Nation Pro Series competitor, and the man who sold me my first Glock, Tommy Smith had a mishap with his Timberwolf framed Glock at the Wake County Firearms Education and Training Center Action Pistol match last night: He said the rear frame rails let go and separated from the frame which looks like it caused the slide to ride up over the trigger housing. Tommy wants to know: …

Someone please focus your Jedi powers and give me some advanced notice about these new Glock models that Glockmeister is claiming that will be released tomorrow. I’ve heard a couple rumblings from other places about this too, but Glockmeister seems to be the only place that has a specific date (May 5th). Are they trolling us? Is this for real? Who knows. I’ve said it before, I’m kind of over it. If a singlestack 9mm …
