I’ve never met Frank Proctor, former Green Beret and instructor extraordinaire at Way of the Gun, but I identify with his minimalist, performance-driven approach to shooting and gear. So when I learned that Frank Proctor had designed an EDC belt, I immediately ordered one with the giddy enthusiasm of true online bromance. When I’m off-duty […]
The JO.LO.AR. pistol, like car phones or the portable record player, fits the profile of an invention that seemed a whole lot more clever on paper than it was in actuality. That doesn’t change how undeniably weird and cool-looking it is. Where you’ve seen it: Odds are good you haven’t. History: Back in 1919, a […]
It looks like the new Glock 17M pistols are already experiencing some teething problems with the design changes. There are reports that Indianapolis Metro Police Department has halted issuing the new duty pistol due to problems during dry fire training. The recall comes after the pistols were supposed to be issued on July 31st, but delayed […]
It appears that someone finally got their new Glock 17M duty gun in from Glock! I am inclined to believe that it is a genuine photo because our source is an officer with the Indianapolis Metro Police Department, one of the first agencies to receive the new guns. The officer that this 17M belongs to […]
Wicked Grips has sent us their weekly update. They never fail to impress… Certain models of handguns are often overlooked in the aftermarket custom industry, due to size and complexity. The Sig P226 is a classic example… the grip panels require large blocks of material, with a massive amount of backside machine inletting required to […]
If you’re not familiar with Grip Force Adapters, you should definitely check them out (if you’re a Glock person). They basically lengthen the tang on the Glock so it’s more like a 1911 tang, and ever so slightly straightens out the grip angle. I’m not a huge Glock mod guy and steer clear of most of them. The only […]
The Strange story…from Ed Strange himself. Well… the basics of our working have been building something that was not dependent on others. We wanted to create a life for our family that we controlled. We could be true to ourselves and our kids, do what we loved to do, work hard (very very hard) and […]
On July 22 the U.S. Department of State – Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) issued “guidance” meant to clarify who is required under the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to register as a “manufacturer” of “defense articles,” which includes firearms and ammunition products (U.S. Munitions List […]
I always get asked the question, “What’s the best laser or sight system for my gun?”. I am a big fan of keeping it simple. Add too much crap to the mix and you may look like a tactical ninja on the range but you’ll look a different way when it comes down to shooting […]
There is no better way to understand how a gun works than to examine a well crafted cut away. Glock makes a cut away version of the Glock 17. I love these things.
