Another Glock? Yes It’s Another Glock For the LoadoutRoom
So there I was perusing the daily email when I saw it, a Law enforcement turn-in Glock 30 Gen 4 at a nice price from AIM Surplus. Try as I might I couldn’t pass it by and so a few days later I was at Grey Man Armory filling out paperwork, again. I’ll admit I’d […]

Do I buy another gun, that’s not really a question, is it?!! The real question, especially in today’s economy, is where and for how much $$ do I buy that gun? THAT answer is often long and convoluted so we’re only going to delve into a portion of it here today. Today we talk about […]

Never-ending magazines are just a thing from Hollywood but SGM has some extended magazines that allow you to shoot just a little longer whether you need to or not.

The New Toy, if You Can Call a Glock 41 a Toy
I recently decided to swap out my Glock 21 for a new Glock 41 Gen 4. I was eager to see the difference in trigger pull and the slightly longer sight radius due to the longer barrel and its status as “Competition Size”. I had a brief chance to compare a Glock 21 model to […]
