My New Daily Carry

Glock 26

I had been shopping around for a new daily carry and finally settled on the Glock 26.

I walked into my favorite shop yesterday and the had the exact model I was looking for.

I love Virginia. I was in and out in 15 minutes. Easy as could be.

I will be getting some of the specialty magazines that give you an extra finger worth a grip.

I also like that it will that the same mags as my Glock 17, even the 33 round versions. Because, you know... Zombies.

--Now to find a nice threaded barrel.

Roni Carbine SBR

This video shows the features of the Roni Glock conversion kit. I have one for my suppressed Glock 21.



--Fun stuff.

Three More

I got three more of the new PMAGs for my Glock 17.

If these work out I will buy ten more.

I got these locally for $15 each locally.

--Need a range run soon.

Range Weekend

I ended up at the range on both Saturday and Sunday!

Saturday is was the 100 yard indoor ranger at ESS and then on Sunday it was handguns in the 25 yard bay.

We tried out a new PMAG for Glock 9mms. The one we tested ran about 100 rounds, through 2 different Glock 17s.

--It ran flawless. Thumbs up for the initial test.

The New Glock 43

I am going to have to shoot one of these! This will be a great carry option when my Glock 17 is too big. I need to hold one to test the feel. Just looking at it I know it will be better than my P3AT.



--They are going to sell a ton of these.

Glock Tactical Light

I don't know if I have ever blogged about the Glock OEM Tac Light before I should have. I love this light.

"If you are looking for a good light for your Glock, then look no further. This light is tough, and very light. When mounted on a Glock pistol, you can barely feel a difference in weight versus not having a light. This light is produced by Glock and is constructed of the same polymer as their pistol frames."

This is designed for the Glocks. I use it on both my Glock 17 and 21 with equal utility. Now on Amazon Prime for $79.

Click the image and read the Comments! Great stuff.

There are brighter lights but I feel like this is perfect for the job!

--Works great with suppressors in the dark...

It's Friday! Random Mostly.

It's been a long week for me at work. Not much to blog about this morning. I will only be going to work for a couple hours today and out at lunch time!

I did buy a Promag Glock vice block this week. I have one for AR15s and find it to be very damn handy. I can clamp it in my vice and hold double stacks.

I also ordered four more mags for my Glock 17. The package came yesterday with four mags for a Glock 19. That little adventure will be blogged about later. Will it be a post about good or bad customer service?  We shall see...

It's 11 degrees out there right now. I moved to Virginia to get away from the cold dammit!  Where is my Global Warming when I need it! They promised me global warming! Oh, sorry. Climate Change. 

--I will also be doing my taxes this weekend. I will NEED to go to the range after that.

Gone Camping

I'm going camping this weekend with a couple friends.

I always take guns when I go camping even if we are not going to be shooting.

I will be taking my suppressed Glock 21 and my AR-15 SBR. But no redheads, dammit!

--I added the bayonet for JayG!

WANT: Custom Geek Glock

If you love Star Wars and Glocks do they have a project for you.

I saw this on Facebook and Pinterest and a few other places.

Cool idea.

--I don't think you'll see any mods like this with a Kimber...

Glock 9mm Variations

Here is a handy graphic that I saw on Pinterest that shows in a single graph the variety of 9mm versions there are from Glock.

I sighed at the notable exclusion of the Glock 18 full auto 9mm.

I can really see from this image that all of these can actually use the same IWB holster that I have.

--Remember, Glocks make great Valentines Days Gifts!

How to Clean Your Glock

--Still editing my book! Enjoy this in the mean time..

WANT: TNW 9mm Carbine

Happy Friday the 13th!!

I am lovin pistol caliber carbines these days. I got the JR Carbine which is still suffering from constant jamming, still. I have the Roni conversion kit that is sooo sweet. And this weekend I got to handle a TNW Carbine. The one I was looking at was 9mm and took Glock magazines. I have a ton of mags for my Glock 17 already, including three 33 round Glock factory mags!

TNW Carbine

--The street price I saw at Clark Brothers was $699. Might have to get one!

SBR Paper Work Has Arrived

The SBR paperwork finally came in for my Glock 21 Roni project!

It will be a super fun rig but in the end will be pretty damn expensive. Here is the list with basic costs:

• $550 - Glock 21 .45ACP 
• $115 - Factory Threaded Barrel
• $400 - RONI Carbine Kit
• $1050 - AAC Suppressor
• $50 - Magpul sights
• $90 - Tactical Light
• $100  - Three 27 Round Mags
• $35 - Single Point Sling
• $200 - Class III Tax for Suppressor
• $200 - Class III Tax for Short Barrel Rifle

Total: $ 2790

This results in a really compact, light, reliable, powerful and quiet, carbine. Great for the pending Zombie Apocalypse! But is it worth all the money?

--I will probably add a compact EOTech adding another $400.

Sure Draw for Glocks

Here is the text from their website:

Sure-Draw's momentary safety device for Glocks provides the solution to a long-known problem - reducing the chance of negligent discharge. When the user's thumb presses and holds Sure-Draw's safer action inward, the weapon will NOT fire. Release the safety, returning to normal grip, and the weapon is ready to fire. 

Sure-Draw allows the user to holster their weapon with confidence.Sure-Draw features a new manual of arms in which the user rides the safety with your thumb as you handle the weapon in a safe condition and insert into the holster. This avoids the downside of current safety designs of many pistols that may inadvertently be left on in a moment of stress or in a tactical situation. No matter how hard the trigger is pulled, if Sure-Draw is engaged the gun will not fire. As soon as it is released the weapon is hot again.

--Glock is my daily carry. I would try this.

Government Shutdown

The Fed shutdown yesterday.

I wonder how many days this will delay my ATF SBR forms for my Suppressed Glock 21 Roni rig?

The last shutdown was during the Clinton administration and lasted 21 days!

The setup pictured on the right is basically the way I plan to configure my Roni carbine once I get the paperwork back! I think my suppressor will probably stick out a few inches farther. I already have the EOTech for this rig waiting in the box in the safe.

This rig will be reliable and quiet. It should be a lot of fun to shoot.

--I have to admit that by the time I am finished configuring it, I will have spent a lot of money on this rig. That will make a good future post.

The Right Holster

I have been carrying my Glock 17 lately in my new Galco IWB holster.

I even have my 2 round mag extenders and that gives me 20 rounds of 9mm with one in the pipe. The double stack mags give you a lot of ammo but makes the gun thick.

The other holsters I have used for my Glocks have been to bulky and printed too easily. I am particular about my Glock holsters because I rely on them to control access to the trigger.

This one is comfy and keeps close. Standing, sitting, driving and walking.

--Galco Kingtuk, IWN Holster. $56 from Amazon. Silly name. Good Holster.

New Double Glock Conversion

Here is an interesting concept that uses a pair of glocks. From NEDG.

--Holds a lot of ammo and you can still shoot as you are reloading!

Training Video

We were talking about guns somehow at my brothers service somehow. I got home to find this link from a friend to cheer me up. It is very instructional. And it did cheer me up!



 --Sometimes, all you need is a detailed video to get it right.

Glock Tail!

The Truth About Guns!

I have actually seen people get slide bites from my Glocks at the range. I have to say it's usually big guys with meaty ham hands.

At the Shot Show they were showing off the new Beavertail Backstrap add-on for the Gen 4 Glocks. It gives it the profile of the tails on a 1911.

I think this is a great idea but I still wish they would make a carbine or a slim single stack carry piece!

--I may have to go to the Shot Show next year, dammit!!  Roadtrip! Who's with me!!

WANT: JR Carbine

At my local gun shop I finally got to handle a JR Carbine.

This guy has now officially  elbowed it's way to the top of my want list. Tricked out properly it will be a super Zombie Killer!!

The quality of the construction seems to be very good. That was what I was worried about the most for the price tag of $530.

The stock and pistol grip are standard AR and it has a good quadrail right out of the box. It comes with two standard Glock mags. With the flat to there is a lot of Magpul love can be added.

The one I handled was in 9mm. I was originally going to go with the .45 but this one has me thinking 9mm again. I already have three 33 round Glock 9mm mags.

--Gotta save some more pennies!
