DRD Tactical announced it would show the new FERRO 9mm pistol at the 2018 SHOT Show. The new pistol is fed from Glock compatible magazines, but unlike a Glock pistol, it has a significant twist: it has a steel frame. A stainless steel frame is a bit heretical for many fans of the Glock system….
Lone Wolf Distributors will show a new pistol caliber carbine at the SHOT Show in January 2018. The new AlphaWolf Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) appears to be different from the existing G9 carbine platform the company currently offers. According to the company, the new gun was specifically designed to provide excellent accuracy and superior reliability….
It appears Polymer80 is set to release a new 80% Glock compatible pistol frame at the 2018 SHOT Show. Called the PF940SC, the new unfinished frame is designed to be compatible with the sub-compact sized Glock pistols like the G26 and G27. Polymer80 offers a number of 80% receivers that allow you to complete various…
Earlier today, the Federal Bureau of Investigation awarded a contract to Glock for new 9mm duty pistols. The new contract has a potential value of $85 million over 10 years. The FBI amplified a conversation regarding the relative effectiveness of different handgun cartridges when its training division published a paper in 2014 justifying the use…
Armscor gave the media a sneak peek at the new 22 TCM 9R: a conversion kit for the Glock 17/22 pistols. The new kit converts the pistols to fire the .22 TCM 9R cartridge. The kits are still under development, but are far enough along for Armscor to allow writers to shoot a Glock equipped…
It looks like Glock’s big announcement at the SHOT Show (other than “Hey, we have a social network site!”) is the 30S pistol. I mentioned the rumors of this gun a few days ago, but I have now seen one. Essentially, the Glock 30S is a model 30SF frame with a model 36 slide attached to…
“Where can I get the cheapest Glock magazines?” is one of the more common e-mails I get. Considering how popular the pistols are, it really shouldn’t be a surprise. As you may suspect, different retailers will run specials or sales on Glock mags, so prices can and will vary. However, for standard magazines, I typically expect…
The Gen 4 Glock 21 is now a reality. The Glock 21 is one of the more discussed models from the company: on the one hand, it gives the shooter 13+1 rounds of the powerful .45 ACP to handle whatever threat may present itself. On the other hand, the gun is noticeably thicker than other Glock models,…
The following e-mail was forwarded to me by Gunner, a fellow blogger over at Gunner’s Journal. Gunner is a 1911 expert and has contacts with various people who spent some time in the Special Forces community, including Delta Force. A lot of what Delta does is understandably secret, and there have been much debate about…
Glock issued an announcement about a voluntary recall or exchange program for the recoil spring assembly on all of Gen4 pistols sold before July 22, 2011. In the announcement sent out to Glock armorers, the company stated their product development team modified “various elements” of the recoil spring assemblies to “…ensure each pistol’s performance meets…
LaserLyte has introduced a new red laser sighting system for pistols called the Rear Sight Laser. The LaserLyte Rear Sight Laser, or RSL, mounts in the position of the rear sight on a handgun, rather than as a grip or guide rod solution marketed by other companies such as Crimson Trace and LaserMax. LaserLyte claims…
At the 2009 SHOT Show, Glock introduced a new texture called “RTF2.” Claiming to be the “the new standard for operators working in the harshest conditions imaginable,” the RTF2 features a new style of texturing on the grip frame, and a new serration pattern on the rear of the slide. The new RTF2 texturing on…
Say hello to the new Glock 30SF pistol. Introduced at the 2008 SHOT Show, the new striker-fired handgun uses a polymer short frame to improve it’s concealability and ease of shooting. Chambered in .45 ACP, this gun is sure to be a hit with big bore fans looking for a no-compromise, lightweight carry gun.
