The gun business is ever changing and hardly predictable, but I thought I would share some of the things that are hot in our shop right now. Anything AR.  If you can get your hands on it, people will stand in line to buy it.  Optics, accessories, mags, ammo, uppers and lowers are all in demand. Glock light rails for early generation Glocks.  Unfortunately they don’t fit the large framed 20 and 21 models.  We get inquires about these every...

I was test firing the other day, and it reminded me how important magazines are for your semi-automatic weapons.  By the way, a clip is sometimes referred to as a magazine, but only by the uniformed.  Don’t make the same mistake that I did and call it a clip to a professional if you want to be taken seriously.  Anyway, back to the point of test firing. In any semi-auto, the magazine will often be the weak link to most of the malfunctions...

One of the questions that we get asked a lot is why the Glock trigger doesn’t feel as good as a 1911? The short answer is that the two systems are fundamentally different and cannot produce anything close to one another. Think apple and orange juice. Both juices, not the same. 1911 and Glock. Both have triggers, not the same. So what’s the difference? The Glock is striker fired. In the animation you can see the striker being moved...

In upcoming posts I will be discussing the difference between 1911’s and Glocks. This post and the one on Wednesday will show you animations of both guns, and I will have some pictures and commentary on Friday. Hopefully that will give you a better understanding of both weapons systems. This animaiton will help you understand how the Glock works during its firing cycle. It starts slow with the trigger pull so focus there....
