Taking an everyday carry or competition Glock to the shop to get a nice stippling job done on it is something that I’ve seen a lot of shooters doing lately. Sure, it looks really nice, especially with your favorite logo stippled into the grip, but why exactly are you doing it? When you take away the […]
Battle Werx LLC is a custom firearms machine shop out of Durham, Connecticut. This Veteran owned and operated company has produced some of the best looking cuts on a custom Glock slide that I’ve seen. Despite owning nearly a dozen over the years, I’ve never ventured into custom cut slides before. Until now. Having written […]
Glock’s are hugely popular: this is as obvious a statement to gun enthusiasts as “Chevy 350’s are common” is to motor heads. While a number of shooters may prefer something other than Gaston Glock’s polymer wonder, few can argue against its out-of-the-box performance. Aside from tritium sights, I’ve never felt like the seven Glocks I’ve […]

I find that people who conceal carry every day for a long period of time go through a certain amount of phases. It almost always starts with carrying a full sized firearm in an uncomfortable way. Then comes the compact or pocket pistol phase. Maybe a wheel gun gets tossed in there for a time. […]
I have always felt carrying a concealed handgun (CCW) to be both a right and a responsibility. The vast majority of citizens I’ve talked to have felt the same way. Carrying a lethal weapon for the defense of life is accompanied (to most) by the weight of the knowledge that the carrier may be called […]
You can’t throw a rock without hitting someone in the firearms industry who makes Glock accessories. It is easily the most popular pistol on the planet. I purchased a Glock because of the fact so many people make accessories for the gun, and being in the industry I’ve had to turn down a lot of opportunities […]
Courtesy of Tactical Life Listening in on shooters’ conversations when the first Glock pistols hit our shores in the 1980s, you’d have heard some less-than-enthusiastic comments from a portion of the public and press. Eventually, a funny thing happened: The polymer-framed pistol from Austria went from damned to praiseworthy. Many of the handguns riding in holsters on […]
Girls and Guns (Featured image courtesy of Stickgunner.com. Model Brittaney Scott) How many of us remember the cheesy PG-13 and R-rated gun advertisements from the ’80’s and ’90’s that mostly featured scantily-clad middle-aged women, poor trigger discipline and emotionless faces? Even though the shots were captured by what must have been the most disposable cameras […]
Courtesy of Tactical Life By now you’re probably aware that Sig Sauer’s P320 won the U.S. Army’s XM17 Modular Handgun System (MHS) competition to replace the legacy M9 and M11 service handguns—mil-spec versions of the Beretta 92FS and Sig P228, respectively. Starting with the Future Handgun System (FHS) over a decade ago, which merged with U.S. Special Operation […]
