They don’t make firearms designers like they used to. Those who dominate the industry today aren’t like the pioneers of centuries past—those who would take risks, dare to be bold and groundbreaking in their ideas, and obviously drink too much before taking their blueprints to the drawing board. As a result, we haven’t seen insanity […]
Perfection. For years, it has been Glock’s primary marketing message. A message that fosters almost cult-like thinking among its followers. One could imagine them lined up, in hooded robes, chanting, “reliability, excellence, perfection— Glock!” With R. Lee “The Gunny” Ermey as the movement’s guru and flanked with support from attractive industry voices like Michelle Viscusi, […]

In the world of polymer pistols, none are so ubiquitous as the Glock. People often forget that before the Glock ever came into existence, Heckler and Koch had been building polymer-frame pistols since the 1950s.

Congratulations “Fumble Fingers” you just dropped your magazine on the ground and bet your life on the way you reloaded your gun in an encounter with a bad guy or gal. Or, now the mag you let hit the dirt is all gritty and dirty and not functional. Or, you thought you had 10 rounds […]
