Professional Gear Reviews
(Article originally published on Spotter Up) As a competitive shooter, concealed carry advocate and gun enthusiast I try to pay attention to what the pros are doing; what gear they are running and how they run it. One of my favorite guys to watch and listen to teach is Frank Proctor who owns Way Of […]
For Marine special operators, the never-ending debate over whether the 9mm or .45-caliber round is the more powerful bullet has been settled. Previously, the classic .45-caliber Colt 1911 was one of three pistols that Raiders were allowed to carry, but now the 9mm Glock 19 is the only pistol that Marine special operators can take […]
For those of you active in the gun industry know the name, Larry Vickers. Former Army Delta operator and now owner of Vickers Tactical. Larry is known around the world for his shooting abilities and gunsmithing skills on the 1911 platform. Recently Larry Vickers and Lipsey have teamed up to created a pair of custom Glock […]
When it comes to guns it’s hard to be innovative with the myriad of choices out there. The task becomes near insurmountable when you tackle the venerable 1911 chassis and simultaneously create a brand new round. You have to hand it to Rock Island and I applaud their daring. I was given the opportunity to […]
Axelson Tactical now has a line of customized firearms to commemorate the life of Matthew Axelson (Killed on Operation Red Wings). One of the newer platforms now available is the AXE 19. This is a customized Glock 19. In a previous article we took a closer look at the customizations of the gun itself. I […]
Glock vs. 1911? I’m sure this will spark a conversation just by bringing up this topic in the pistol community. I get asked all the time at ranges from all types of owners, may they be LE, Military (former or active), or just an individual who owns a firearm for self-protection, “What pistol do you […]
Before starting the class I made sure to have my stock barrel and stock recoil spring in my Glock 17. I did not want to give myself any advantages in order to learn how to better manipulate the gun with my stance, grip, and trigger control. The following two modifications were determined to be needed after the […]
A week or so ago we took a quick look at the AXE 17 custom Glock. This time we are taking a quick look at the AXE 19 from Axelson Tactical. These guns are really well made and have an overall bad-ass appearance to them. These handguns are part of the Axelson Tactical tribute store […]
Remington introduces its R51 pistol, a modern version of the old Remington Model 51 released in 1918. The original Remington Model 51 relied on a unique type of action created by John Pedersen, a designer best known for the “Pedersen Device” that turned a bolt-action Springfield 1903 rifle into a semi-automatic magazine-fed pistol caliber rifle with a simple bolt change. Like the […]
One of GLOCK’s MOS pistols would seem to be an obvious candidate for hosting a suppressor, but GLOCK doesn’t make threaded barrels available a la carte. And the few factory pistols that came with a threaded barrel used metric thread patterns that we don’t see much of in the US. If you want to suppress your […]
