I'd hoped to get a comprehensive update on the test gun this week, but between SHOT Show and various projects that stemmed from it as well as the beginning of the teaching season -- I'm teaching in NY this weekend -- I've had little time to shoot and less time ...

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 ...

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 ...
