Which trigger job is right for you?
I was talking to a very informed shooter from GA today who was considering some work for his Glock, and it was great because he totally got it. Too many people don’t really get what that their perceived needs are really desires and not wants. The temptation in trigger jobs is to go too low. Most of the people that contact us for work want a trigger that is unrealistic, and we end up agreeing that it doesn’t fit their needs. If you are Dave Sevigny or Rob Leatham, you can justify an extremely light trigger in your competition...
read moreSM-1 Vent Rib Barrel
We have been holding off on this for a while, but customer demand was just too great! We are now offering the SM-1 for those of you who have Vent Rib barrels. This does a number of things, but mostly it saves you money. The problem with the Vent Rib was that it didn’t always fall right to have the barrel cut back to 18.5 inches. However, it was cost prohibitive to many customers to buy a new factory barrel at almost $200. So, we have come up with a solution that will work for everyone involved. The only catch is that you might end...
read moreAssault Weapons Ban
Eric Holder, the attorney General of the United States who called you a nation of cowards this week because you don’t talk about race, has another great idea; ban assault weapons. Not a shock that they would bring this up. It is the ground work for a move in an old direction. Now is the time to voice your opinion on this matter. You might want to call your congressmen and senators. Pay attention to this. It won’t go away.
read moreCCF Raceframes
The number of accessories available today for your Glock pistol is simply unbelievable. If you can imagine it for your Glock it probably exists. One of the things that has become more popular than ever is the idea of replacement frames. CCF Raceframes from Richmond, VA makes an aluminum frame and a stainless steel that add a new dimension to shooting the Glock. The aluminum frame is IDPA compliant for the Enhanced Service Pistol category. It allows you to tame any recoil issues with the extra weight of the frame. The frames come with...
read moreCross Draw Holster
In the days of Cowboy movies it wasn’t unusual to see a tough guy carrying his weapon in a cross draw holster, that is butt forward opposite the strong hand. While most pistoleros have traditionally chosen to carry strong side, there is actually a purpose for the cross draw holster that remains today. The number one reason to consider a cross draw holster is if you tend to be in a seated position most of the time. If you have a desk job or work out of a vehicle they can be wise choices for your handgun. Trying to get your handgun out...

Jerry Miculek is the fastest revolver shooter in competition history. He once shot 12 shots with one reload in under 3 seconds. This video shows him shooting that string. Still think you’re fast? [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLk1v5bSFPw]
read moreGun Project
Recently we were asked to build a kit gun for a school project. Yes, I know. Hard to believe. A local high school is teaching history by having students recreate it. Options included a Kentucky Long Rifle, a pistol or a period correct knife. Two students that I go to church with asked for my help. One is building the Kentucky Rifle from a Traditions Performance Kit. The other is building a Confederate Bowie knife from Dixie Gun Works. We haven’t received the Kentucky Rifle kit, but we did get a chance to check out the knife...

Wanted to make you aware of a new piece of legislation that is coming up soon. It was introduced in the House and is in committee right now. It is called the Blair Holt Firearm Act, HR 45. You click the link to read the full text. It seeks to license guns and make transfers impossible except between licensed individuals. Go to House.gov to write your representative and ask them to vote no on this legislation.
read moreShooting Steel
If you ever get the chance to shoot steel targets, it makes it hard to go back to the boring paper targets that are used at most ranges. I was lucky enough or unlucky enough to be able to spend about 5 years training at a range that had steel targets, and there is just something about it that makes it more fun. I guess it is probably the the instantaneous feedback. You don’t have to go see where your shot hit because it either falls or it doesn’t. You hear the “ping” of the round striking. It’s awesome! My...
read moreGlocks on the Comeback!
While it has certainly been a crazy couple of months for the gun industry, signs of normal production are starting to come back. Yesterday our distributors were showing that they actually had Glocks in stock ready for immediate delivery. Here is the catch; they still don’t have 9mm or 40 S&W. 45 GAP, 357 Sig, 10mm and 45 ACP were available. If you have been thinking about buying one of the new SF models, there are some available. If you are unfamiliar with the SF models, they are slim versions of the 45 ACP and the 10mm. If you...
