#Glock

We shoot Hornady .357 Sig 147gr XTP ammunition from a Glock 22 with a 4.25″ .357 Sig conversion barrel into Clearballistics ballistic gel to measure velocity, penetration, expansion/fragmentation, and retained weight.

Longing for that Silent Night with your new suppressor? Don’t forget about your host weapon. Baring a few outliers, most firearms need to be equipped with a threaded barrel to become a true host weapon. As such, I’ve listed a variety of threaded barrels here to review for your gift-giving pleasure.

The US Army’s new sidearm, the SIG Sauer M17 Modular Handgun System, will soon be available for purchase on the civilian market. SIG’s Chief Marketing Officer Tom Taylor told Military.com about the decision, saying that about 5,000 of the full size M17 variant will be released to the civilian market sometime in early 2018:

Canton Ohio custom gunmaker Middlebranch Machine has released a teaser image of a new kind of suppressor, which they say is made of “carbon fiber composite” construction. Unlike previous efforts at making carbon fiber suppressors, Middlebranch Machine’s design does not seem to use a straight carbon-fiber tubing body, but appears to be 3D printed, instead. This is strongly suggested by the background of the image which shows a customized Glock with a unique looking suppressor in front of what is probably a Markforged Mark Two carbon fiber 3D printer. Mark Twos are some of the only carbon fiber 3D printing machines in the world.

The first holster to be issued with the US Army’s new Modular Handgun System, including both the M17 and M18 pistols, will be a variant of the Safariland 7TS holster, featuring both ALS and SLS locking systems. The holster is the first of at least three holsters to be procured as part of the MHS program, to be followed by a variant that accommodates an aiming laser/light module, as well as a concealed holster for the M18 compact variant. The holster was procured through the tailored logistics program, and the vendor selected for its ability to meet MHS’s timeline, according to a Military.com article written by Matthew Cox.

The US Army has announced a decision to field the M17 MHS as a sidearm to more soldiers than were previously issued M9 handguns. Where previously only senior leadership were authorized to carry handguns, with the new M17 and M18 Modular Handgun System squad and team leaders will be authorized. The move is intended to give those leaders greater flexibility in close quarters battle. Military.com reports:

CMC Triggers are famous for their triggers, out of Texas.

Have you taken your Glock apart down to this level? This is rather impressive and I hope it is for illustrative purposes. Godspeed Firearms posted this photo on their Facebook page with a list of scheduled maintenance for Glock shooters.

The CMMG MkGs Guard 9mm AR-15 has been formally announced to the public, and we at TFB were extremely fortunate enough to have the opportunity to range test and review this firearm. Let’s take a look at the specifications of this rifle and what we exactly have on our hands here.

According to Paul G, this grip sleeve was developed by a recently retired HRT officer. Paul also claims that HRT officers are rocking these on their duty Glocks.

There is an ever-growing abundance of Glock after-market parts available for consumers. The Glock pistol, whether you love it or hate it, is embraced by the entire world in varying capacities. It is the Lego set of pistols. The tinker toy of handguns. Like an AR-15, they are interchangeable and endlessly customizable. With so many companies that already are in the saturated market of Glock parts, why would anyone new try to step into the foray? Well, to make a long explanation short, they are more than experienced and capable enough to produce top tier products at an affordable and competitive price. Who is they you might ask? They happens to be Faxon Firearms.

If you’re not doing dry fire training you really should give it a try, it’s a great way to help you become a much better shooter without having to go to the range. I try to get in some dry fire trigger time almost daily. The only downside of dry fire training is having to constantly re-rack your slide after every trigger pull in order to reset the trigger. It interrupts your flow and becomes tedious after a while. Well the folks over at glocketrainer.com have come up with a simple yet clever solution.

The Royal Danish Army, Hæren, are reportedly about to embark on trials to replace the venerable SIG P210, which has been in Danish service since 1949.
