#Glock

For those of you who are out in the dating scene, I applaud you. In the midst of all that is the internet – Snapchat, Tinder, MySpace, etc – the casual-scene pitfalls would surely be too much for me to endure. Instead, TFB is reaching out to those willing to make a commitment with five quick Valentine’s Day gift ideas for that very special man or woman. For everyone else, your mother, father or best friend would gladly accept a nice present from the list below.

Originally known for their AR15 magazines with floor plate retainer in the shape of a bright red “2”, the Idaho based company Amend2 has introduced an entire line of Glock magazines as a part of SHOT 2018. The magazines use a glass fiber filled nylon magazine frame (no internal metal body), and have a very gracious baseplate that shares some contour lines from H&K USP magazines at a distance (with the exception of the Glock 42,43, and 31 compatible magazines). Followers are bright red and the floor plate retainer is the same “2” shape as the earlier AR15 magazines that company was founded on. The back of the magazines have round count indexing holes as well.

Many new and improved products have been brought to market by Trijicon in the months leading up to SHOT 2018. Fans of the Trijicon HD iron sights will be happy to hear of the Trijicon HD XR night sights. The HD XR sights boast an expanded field of view and more precise targeting with the reduced size of the front sight (.122”) to nearly a third of the size of the original HD’s.

It isn’t every day one sees a Glock on an airport runway, let alone Gaston’s personal Glock.  Yet there I was, landing in Vegas for SHOT 2018 when I spied this one-of-a-kind Glock off the side of the taxiway at McCarran International Airport

In today’s episode, we follow Miles to Shot Show 2018 to the High Threat Concealment booth.

In today’s episode, we follow Miles to Shot Show 2018 and visit the Safariland booth to look at some new holster offerings for 2018.

ETS is best known for their translucent Glock magazines. Last year they came out with their CAM Loader magazine loader. I reviewed the CAM Loader last year. They have addressed one of the issues I had with the CAM Loader. The probem is that it only worked with 9mm and .40S&W double stack magazines. It could work with single stack mags but it does not work with other calibers. Well now they are making new CAM loaders in .45ACP and .380ACP.

Everyone knows how completely badass Lone Wolf is when it comes to ordering after-market parts and accessories for Glock.

Latvia’s armed forces and border guards are set to receive new Heckler & Koch G36s. On the 11th January, the Latvian Ministry of Defence issued a press release announcing the new contract with the German small arms manufacturer. The 7 year contract, worth 13 million Euros or $16 million, is said to be for both rifles and other types of weapons – probably including H&K’s AG36 40mm grenade launcher, already in Latvian service.

Good news Canada! You’ll finally be getting the Glock 19 Gen 4. Glock showed off their new Canadian compliant version of the G19 Gen 4 at the 2018 SHOT Show. The factory Glock 19 barrel is 102mm which was too short to be legal in Canada, they require handgun barrels to be over 105mm. The new Canadian compliant model Glock 19 Gen 4 has a barrel that’s 106mm in length and as you can see from the picture below it pokes out a tad from the slide. I wonder if the extra few millimeters of barrel length will give any noticeable increase in velocity and accuracy? Meh, probably not.

At SHOT Show this week Texas-based ZRODELTA have launched their new Genesis Z9 modular pistol. ZRODELTA claim the Z9 is the world’s first fully modular pistol.

ZRODELTA has a modular Glock clone with a metal grip. We already saw a metal Glock frame announced by Dasan. And while this is also an Aluminum frame, ZRODelta’s Genesis Z9 takes that idea a step further.

Last month Lone Wolf announced their venture into pistol caliber carbines. Well, Lone Wolf showed off their newest Alpha Wolf Pistol Caliber Carbine and Pistol. The new Lone Wolf pcc sports a rotating locking bolt. They are offering it in a 16″ rifle length barrel or a 10″ pistol barrel. The bolt has a side charging handle for easier manipulation. It uses Glock magazines and has a last round bolt hold open.

Recover Tactical has been working on accessorizing Glocks and S&W Shields. They have made themselves known for their 1911 grips, Beretta 92 grips and Glock Gen 1-2 rail. Well now they are looking at the rest of the gun and applying their ideas.

Dasan is a Korean manufacturer and they have been making Glock barrels well now they are making lowers for the Glock. They are starting with the Glock 19 and making their lower out of aluminum.
