Does anyone else think it is odd that Glock now sells a recoil reduction pad for shooting long guns, yet refuses to meet consumer demand and manufacture a carbine?

The Vickers Tactical magazine floor plates are now available. The floor plates come five to a pack and retail for $18.50. The plates are made by Tango Down.
The plates are slightly wider at the base, which allows the shooter to more easily rip a mag from the pistol if needed because of a malfunction or other problem. As a cop who works in a very sandy area of the world, these definitely have a practical application in my view.
You can order the plates at Net Tac or through Tango Down.
Lipsey’s worked out a deal for a special run of brown Glock pistols. Well, brown is too plain a term. Technically, they are “flat, dark earth” colored.
Regardless on what color you call them, you can now get a special run Glock 17, 19, 21, 22 or 23 in either Gen 3 or Gen 4 configurations. According to GearScout, Lipsey’s ordered up to 8,000 of each model.
I am probably one of the last guys to discover FPS Russia, but in case you’ve not seen any of his videos here is one with a full auto Glock pistol:
Check out the other videos from FPS Russia to see him fire a mortar, flamethrower, recoiless rifle, M240 and more. Great stuff.
Gear Scout is reporting that a new Glock magazine baseplate has been developed by Vickers Tactical. The new magazine floorplates are wider than standard baseplates to allow for stripping the magazine from the pistol during a malfunction clearance. Vickers does not have the parts listed on their website yet, so I don’t know what the MSRP will be.
Former Glock CEO Paul Jannuzzo was found guilty of racketeering and theft of a firearm according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Jannuzzo can be sentenced up to 30 years in prison.
According to the AJC, Jannuzzo and Peter Manown, another former Glock executive, allegedly stole millions of dollars from the company between 1991 and 2003.
The new “tell all” book on Glock, called “Glock”, has gotten a lot of press recently, and I have wanted to read it. As it happens, the publisher sent me a review copy of the book, which I have already started reading.
It is not a boring book…
I’m sure some of you have read other reviews on the book already, but I have not. I purposefully avoided reviews so I could form my own opinions as I read it. I already have a few interesting observations, which I will share with you very soon.
For those that want their own copy of the book, Amazon has them in stock for about $17.
