I guess there is a first time for everything. Last week, I was performing one of our SM-1 conversions when I accidentally used the wrong drill bit to open up a gas port making the gun not only kick like a mule, but unsafe to use. You can imagine my despair. Not only had I wrecked a barrel, but I had to call a very nice customer and explain the error of my ways.

We get asked about Class III weapons a lot. It seems everyone wants to have one at least once in their life. We are not a Class III dealer because we simply don’t see the point of the whole thing.

We have already profiled the Glock 30 SF in Part 1, but it will be helpful to understand all of the differences in these guns, because this is the only caliber where Glock offers two different versions of a compact frame. The Glock 36 has slim profile which makes for easy CCW. It holds 6 rounds plus...
