AR Accessories
It is interesting that we are seeing some trends continue even in the post balloon era that took place from November until about May. I recently received Brownell’s catalog for the up coming year. If Brownell’s isn’t a familiar company, I encourage you to check them out. They are the largest parts and accessories for shooters in the world. At the beginning of the catalog the owner mentioned how they have added over 1,000 new items. The interesting part was that the majority of those are for the AR platform. The AR...
read moreRuger SP101 Part 2
I mentioned that the SP101 conversion was finished now and thought you might like to hear some customer comments concerning these modifications: Once again all I can say is wow! Was that my pistol you sent back? The trigger pull and smoothness was incredible you did a perfect job. The bead blast really made the pistol and the polish job on the trigger absolutely made the pistol more pleasurable to fire and looked great. The XS sight was dead on and far superior to the factory sight. Now for the range report: I fired 158gr and 124gr shells...
read moreRuger SP101 Conversion
We have been waiting for a while to be able to announce the MCC Custom SP 101 package, and we are finally ready to start filling orders. As with all of our most popular packages this one was customer driven. We were asked to take a stock SP 101 and turn it into a custom CCW piece that is also a beautiful piece to add to any collection. We started out with an SP 101 DAO in .357 Magnum. To be sure this has to be one of the best platforms around for any of the small revolvers made to today. It has a heft to it that balances well and makes...

I was sitting in the shop the other day watching it rain when one of our customers showed up to give me a box of ammo from a day of shooting we had shared together. It was a very kind gesture, but the next thing he gave me was over and above anything he ever owed me as a customer. He handed me a what looked like a multi-tool. Now I have to admit that I have a small problem with gadgets. . . I get hooked really easily. So you can imagine how stoked I already was to see the tool, but then I opened it, and I got super excited. It was a...
read moreCCW Reciprocity
CCW Reciprocity has been in the news a lot lately since the a federal measure to allow reciprocity failed by only a few votes. I thought that it might be helpful to let you see this link to the NRA-ILA’s website. It has detailed information about the reciprocity for each state. We certainly have come a long way in this area. When I received my first permit from North Carolina, they did not recognize any other states. Gradually they began to recognize bordering states, but it took a long time. Today most states have good reciprocity...
read moreMCC Mag Release
The MCC Extended Glock Release is really starting to move. We recently sent one out and this is the response we received. I got my new mag release in the mail today. No trouble swapping out the old release and installing the new one. I love it! It feels really good and is so easy to use. Thanks so much. All the best, C.H. These mag releases are easy to install, and if you have any questions we are happy to walk you through the installation. We think they offer the best of both worlds: A mag release that is not too long with all the...
read moreTick Bite Prevention
I got a great email from a friend the other day regarding tick bites. I wanted to pass it on to everyone in its entirety with his permission. You can see the sites that he cross referenced. Hope you get a better understanding on this so you can avoid these bites. Jeff, Doing some research after a friend told me of a horrible tick experience, I came up with this great information: One can be 99.9% sure of being free from ticks if two preventative steps are taken according to the DOD (yes – Department of Defense) this is what the Military...
read moreGrip It!!
It’s a good time to reevaluate some of the fundamentals of shooting, and nothing could be more foundational to handgunners than your grip. Your grip should be high on the gun with the middle of your fingers riding in a direct line to your trigger guard. The off hand should be knuckle row on knuckle row. Everyone needs to practice their draw stroke with the proper grip.[See D.R. Middlebrooks Tactical Shooting site for more info] Two problems seem to show up if you don’t have the proper grip: You can’t handle the recoil if...
read moreMCC Glock Extended Release
The response to our mag release video has been great. Many of you are getting your extensions ordered as we speak. Every day we are getting inquires about the extensions. So, thanks for your interest. We appreciate all of you. We have been getting asked this question by enough of you that I thought it would be prudent to put this out there. The MCC Glock Extended Mag Release is in stock and ready to ship right now for $20 plus $5 USPS. We are always ready to put this mod on for you, but it will end up costing you around $40 in shipping if...
read moreSnubby Velocities
Snubbies, like the S&W J-frame used to be talked about as sub standard to other defensive tools. One of the main reasons had to do with the loss of velocity from their shorter barrels. Here’s the skinny. Bullets get better velocity from a longer barrel, because the pressure has longer to build up velocity. Shorter barrel = shorter velocity. Luckily for all of us time has allowed us to progress. Speer has developed a short barreled line of ammunition to deal with these situations. With their new ammo, you are only giving up...
