Much of this week was spent trying new gear.
While picking up some spare maintenance items at Glockparts.com I came across the Brass Stacker Reserve Round (Glockparts catalog link here). It's a solid steel floorplate that comes with a metal locking plate and ISMI ...

Two more federal agencies ban the SERPA for their personnel due to safety concerns: USAF OSI and HHS OIG. Thanks to F-Trooper05 for the post. We will of course nonetheless hear the continued bleating of people who insist that it's not the holster's fault and that "proper training" would have solved ...

Today I brought my new gen4 G26 to the range for the first time. Prior to its first outing:
reversed mag button
installed Glock extended slide release
installed Lone Wolf 3.5 connector
I'll probably swap the slide release in favor of a Vickers. The Vickers version works better for me on a "naked" backed ...

The only shooting I got in during the holiday was the inaugural KSTG match at the NRA Range. I shot the match with my everyday carry gear, including my Federal 124gr +p HST carry ammunition. And hey, I won! The fact that ...

So, remember when I said I was going to clean it? Yeah... didn't happen. Maybe next week. Maybe not.
This week was all about the LG-850 Lasergrip from Crimson Trace. CTC originally sent it to Caleb of Gun Nuts, but he doesn't have ...

Thanks again, Caleb! As I mentioned last week, I've been using Lasergrips religiously for most of my serious shooting career. It's only over the past few years with the HK P30, HK45, and Glock tests that I've been unable to get a set. But they were my constant companion while I was ...

Noting unusual to report with the gun this week.
In terms of shooting, my best F.A.S.T. for the week was a 4.27 clean. But it's more interesting to note my cold (first shots of the day) scores, which were 5.39 (clean) and 5.27 ...

Crimson Trace today announced its newest foray into the world of grip-style lasers for Glock pistols. This is the latest in a series of different designs CTC has tried for the Glock brand handgun, and hopefully unlike its predecessors it won't suck.
My personal experience with pistol-mounted lasers began, ironically, after ...

Yesterday at the range, the gentleman assigned the lane next to me arrived with a 2.5"-barrel revolver in an appendix holster. Ordinarily, such people take off their holster and put the gun in a bag while shooting their favorite "range gun" all night, often a 5" 1911 with sights, trigger, ...
