#Glock

Magpul has been knocking it out of the park with their recent products. To top them off they came up with some really great commercials.

Here is something you don’t get to see every day. If you looked at the headline picture and thought these guns have to be machine engraved done by a local hack, think again. These examples are part of a small set of Glock factory, hand engraved pistols imported into the U.S. about eight years ago.

Suarez International out of Arizona has released their latest Glock 17 slide, the V5. This slide improves upon previous Version of slides from the company and can be ordered with different optic cut outs. However, the base slide is meant for iron sights to be installed, which can be your factory Glock sights, or after-market versions. Some of the modifications made to the slide are mostly to do with tighter tolerances, using quality 17-4 aerospace steel in a Black Melonite finish, and custom cuts to the ejection port area that allows for better ejection processes. Essentially the slide is meant to be a match grade, out of the box ready modification to a standard Glock 17 that shooters can purchase.

Faxon has rolled out Glock barrels in both threaded and non-threaded varieties at this year’s NRA Annual Meeting in Atlanta. They will be offered in several colors, in both threaded and unthreaded models for Glock 34, 17,  and 19 at the time of the show with more coming soon.

Glock unveiled two new Glocks here at the NRA Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Ga. Sadly it is not the 17M but the 17FS and 19FS.

I just posted about the new Magpul GL Enhanced Magwell and another tipster sent me more products that Magpul will be announcing at the 2017 NRA Annual Meeting in Atlanta.

We just received a tip that Magpul is going to be rolling out a new polymer magwell in the next couple days. I expect this to likely be released on the opening day of NRA Annual Meetings. Other than the spec sheet above we have no information beyond that.

With the National Rifle Association’s Annual Meeting now just a few days away, new product announcements are a foregone conclusion. At the top of my (and many others) list of releases is the the elusive Glock Generation 5 and/or ‘M’ models that may or may not make an appearance sometime this year. Possibly signaling pending public availability, a legitimate ‘high speed, low drag’ friend of mine was just issued a Glock 17M for some real-world testing.

Russia has been developing a humanoid robot for several years now. Its primary purpose is to help astronauts during space missions. Since its appearance in the media, there were discussions of how it can be used for military applications. And just recently a video appeared on the internet released by the Russian deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin on his social media pages. In the video, they are testing that robot in a course of several unmanned vehicles tests. Particularly, the robot dual wields Glock pistols and does it pretty well.

Every now and then something cool and interesting flys under the radar. In this instance, it is a dry fire training tool with a rather self-explanatory name, DryFireMag.

Glock, with its commanding position in the US handgun market, is certainly a large juicy target for lawsuits. Indeed, it has been subjected to many and continues to fight others, but few would have expected that a RICO lawsuit against Glock would be filed by another Glock – Helga Glock, Gaston Glock’s ex-wife.

Remember the Texas Black Rifle Company Micro Comp we posted about a while back? TBRCi just released a version of their Micro Comp V3 made out of Titanium. It’s going to be available in three different finishes. Raw Titanium, Flame Anodized and Electro-Anodized with the later two having unique finishes. Their Micro Comp V3 differs from their original Micro Comp in that it will fit a larger variety of holsters, even those with very tight tolerances. I guess holster fit was an issue customers were having with the V1.

While not the elusive ‘M’ or ‘Generation 5’ models, it appears that GLOCK is set to release new features on some existing models later this year. Most notably, the polymer pistol king will add front slide serrations to the Gen4 G19 and G17 models. Also, both Gen4 models will now include a compensated ‘C’ subset with barrel ports and top slide cuts.

For Law Enforcement outside of the US, some of them have to carry chamber empty.  I saw this posted online. It was posted by a Filipino Gun Club. The holster allows the user to chamber a round as they draw the gun out.

I picked up a Crye Precision Gun Clip many years ago. To be honest I have not used it that much although I liked the concept.
