Situational Awareness
We had an officer shot this week in Nashville who remains in the hospital. By all accounts he was a good guy trying his best to do a good job. While on a routine traffic stop, he was shot in the worst place; the side of his vest. I am sure there will be many reports filed and lessons learned, but I want to remind all of our LEO’s to work extra hard this week on situational awareness. Many of you are familiar with the color code concept. Walk around in condition yellow they tell us. We all here it, but it is good to be reminded that...
read moreXS Sights for Ruger SP101
An item not getting a lot of attention is the XS sights line of Big Dots for the Ruger SP101. We would have been unaware of this sight, but a customer brought it to our attention. In fact, when we called a distributor about it, they said XS didn’t make a sight for the SP101. However, after talking to XS, we were told that it was the same sight that is made for the S&W J-frame models. When our package arrived from the distributor it was clearly marked for the S&W J-frame and the Ruger SP101. We will putting pictures up in a...
read moreFinger Off The Trigger
This video reminds us all why you need to keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire. Can you imagine the conversation that took place later? Luckily no one was killed, but it could have had a terrible outcome. When you are at home, at the range, or on the job, mind your trigger finger. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnCnqOQSQ8E]
read moreMCC Glock Extended Mag Release
From time to time we are asked to supply an extended mag release for a Glock. In this video we are going to show you two options which we think will really help. One is a custom modification we do in the shop. The other is from Ghost. Both of these will cost you $20 installed, so you won’t be out a lot, but they will make a big difference in your reloads. Check out the pictures below the video when it finishes. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOUeW8OBfJA]
read moreWoolrich Elite Lightweight Pant Review
We recently had the opportunity to test the Woolrich Elite Lighweight Pants. These pants have all the features that you need in tactical pant, but they are made from a lighter material to make them comfortable for those in hotter climates. No doubt Woolrich had operators in mind who have to play in the sand box on a regular basis, and these pants fit this mission well. They are made from 1.5 ounces less thick material than the regular version, but other than that they are identical. We tested these pants for several weeks including shooting...
read moreGlock 45 ACP: Part 2
When Glock introduced small guns, they thought the Glock 36 would be a great addition, and for certain segments, it really is the right answer. 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 one. It is still a stretch to get to the trigger correctly if you have small hands, and the slim...

This is an interesting concept for those of you looking to have your home defense shotgun at the ready. The obvious flaw to this is that if you have children in the home, you essentially have given them a very dangerous toy, but the manufacturer also states this at the end of the commercial. Let us know what you think. Like or hate it? [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3cFSgVGw0I]

The NRA recently published a great article on our friend David Sams. Dave works on all types of guns, but is famous for his accurized conversion of the Beretta 92 when no one was doing it. While he draws tons of attention from the world of Bullseye shooting, he is also well known for his custom 1911’s, custom rifles and AR pistols. Dave is a great builder, but more importantly he is a great man. Read the article and you will see that his knowledge of these weapons is unbelievable. Congratulations Dave. We at MCC wish you contiued...
read moreGlock 45 ACP Part 1
No doubt you are familiar with our affection for the Glock pistol by now. If you have any questions you need to know that we think they are great. In the midst of their greatness, there is one issue that has been problematic for some shooters; namely that the large caliber (45ACP and 10mm) Glocks didn’t fit smaller hands. That has now been remedied with the SF line of Glocks. The new Glock 30 SF may be one of the best new additions to the Glock line in history. It holds 10 rounds, is very concealable and manages the 45’s...

Several of the MCC family are going to shoot a steel challenge match in June. Many of you may not be familiar with this format, but you should check it out because it is so much fun. Here is a look at one club’s steel challenge event in the man on man format to give you an idea of what to expect. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6PIqjDSxd4&feature=related ]
